You can buy a Dogo Argentino from reputable breeders who specialize in them or you could check out some breed-specific rescue centers too! Some general dog rescues might have one every now and then also.
Socialization is important when raising a Dogo Argentino. Early socialization is key—consistent training from an early age should be provided as well as lots of exercise and mental stimulation too. Establish yourself as the pack leader through proper nutrition and regular vet check ups. Engage them in activities that challenge them both physically & mentally.

Dogo Argentinos need high exercise (1-2 hours daily) and moderate grooming. Dogo Argentino may be banned or restricted in some areas due to breed-specific legislation, like other dogs, such as Pit Bulls, Cane Corso, Old English Mastiff, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers. It is not recommended for first-time dog owners due to their strong personalities and exercise needs. Keep in mind that each dog has its own unique personality so training should always be done carefully with positive reinforcement methods used consistently throughout the process of teaching anything new especially commands which could save lives later on when they are older but still young at heart like most big breeds!
