Dogo Argentino Breed
the Dogo breed
The Dogo Argentino originated in 1928 in the province of Córdoba, in the central region of the Republic of Argentina by Dr. Antonio Martinez. He created the Dogo primarily for hunting large game such as peccaries, wild boar and pumas.
Dr. Martinez crossbred several purebreds with the Old Fighting Dog of Cordoba, a dog which was very strong and vigorous. To this dog he added, Great Dane, Pointer, Bull Terrier, Boxer, Bulldog, Pyrenean Mastiff, Irish Wolfhound and Spanish Mastiff. These combinations produced the first family of Dogo Argentinos, displaying strength, tenacity, sharp sense of smell and bravery.
The Dogo was recognized by the by the FCA (Federación Cinologica Argentina) and received full AKC Recognition in January 2020.
