How many of you have an Argentine Dogo?

Question

Just how rare are they?

Answer 1

they're very rare. and rarely legal in most cities in the united states. they are grouped in with pit bulls often. they are not for the novice owner. the owner of this dog needs a firm hand with them. i do not have one, they are expensive to aquire and difficult to find a breeder. they are banned all together in countries such as the UK and australia. like pits they were bred to fight and protect and have been misused by ignorant individuals. here's the breeds that make up the dogo argentino...

The formula Antonio started was:

1) the Fighting Dog of Cordoba, to which he added blood from
2) the Pointer to give him a keen sense of smell which would be essential for the hunt.
3) The Boxer added vivacity and gentleness;
4) the Great Dane it's size;
5) the Bull Terrier, fearlessness;
6) the Bulldog gave it an ample chest and boldness;
7) the Irish Wolfhound brought it's instinct as a hunter of wild game;
8) the Dogue de Bordeaux contributed it's powerful jaws;
9) the Great Pyrenees it's white coat and
10) the Spanish Mastiff gave it's quota of power.


if you're interested in this dog, contact the breed group and find out all you can about them. if you have never owned a powerful dog like this, this definatly is not the dog to start with. good luck. they are beautiful, wonderful dogs in the right hands.

Answer 2

I've heard of an Argentine Dogo, but then again, I've heard of a lot of breeds that the average person hasn't. I've never actually seen one, but I don't think they're too extraordinarily rare.

Answer 3

I don't have one, just thought you'd like to know
