Dogo Argentino Dog Breed
Dogo Argentino is a very unique and expensive dog. Those who want to adopt a Dogo Argentino should study up and research the breed before pulling the trigger. I will give you a bunch of information about the Dogo Argentino. The breed was created in Argentina by Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez in the 1920s. It was made from various kinds of dogs including the extinct Cordoba Fighting Dog, Great Dane, Boxer, Spanish Mastiff, Old English Bulldog, Bull Terrier, Great Pyrenees, Pointer and Irish Wolfhound. 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.
The temperament of this breed is loyal and protective over its family but also confident & courageous – though sometimes stubborn or independent with other animals if not properly socialized.
Size: Males: 24-26.5 inches (61-67 cm) tall; 88-100 lbs (40-45 kg) Females: 23.5-25.5 inches (60-65 cm) tall; 88-95 lbs (40-43 kg)
Personality: -Affectionate with family -Protective & alert -Smart & athletic -Determined
Male vs Female: -Males are usually bigger and more dominant. -Females may be more independent but easier to train.

Trainability: -Moderately easy to train but can be stubborn. -Require firm consistent training. – Respond well to positive reinforcement
Good with kids and small dogs: – They can be good with children if raised with them and properly socialized. – High prey drive, so caution is needed around small dogs and other pets.
Cost: -From a breeder: $1,500 to $5,000. -Adoption fees from rescues: $300 to $800.
Lifespan of a Dogo Argentiono ranges between 10 to 12 years on average.
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!
