The Dogo Argentino originated in the central area of Argentina called Cordoba. Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez systematically cross bred ten different kinds of dogs, including a breed that is now extinct. He was trying to produce an athletic dog with a strong body and character that would be able to do hard work yet have a friendly temperament that would let him live and work together with other dogs and humans. Dr. Martinez family and close friends continued to carry on his work after his unexpected death. The Dogo Argentinos are courageous hunters of country raiders along with being an ideal pet for active families.

This breed are pack-hunting dogs and are bred to pursue large game such as puma and wild boar. They are strong, intelligent, with a fast response. Their totally white coat is short and smooth and they may boast a dark patch near their eyes.

The Dogo Argentino has a humble, friendly and cheerful personality, without being a barker. They love their human families, particularly children. An adult Dogo must have plenty of exercise on a regular basis to stay healthy and happy. These are clean dogs that do not need lots of grooming. As all dogs, they love to be praised and respond well to steady obedience training. Most of all, they make ideal pets for families as long as they get to indulge in lots of vigorous physical and mental motivation.
