Dogo Argentino

Big game hunting, specifically wild boar and puma, and acting as a steadfast guardian and loyal family companion.

Loyal, courageous, protective, and social; they are known for their unwavering devotion to their family and an athletic, stoic nature.

Congenital pigment-associated deafness (unilateral or bilateral), Hip Dysplasia, Elbow Dysplasia, Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (Bloat), and autoimmune thyroiditis.

Minimal; requires weekly brushing with a rubber curry comb to remove dead hair and regular ear cleaning to prevent infections.

Not suited for apartment living. They require a home with a large, securely fenced yard and thrive best in environments where they have plenty of room to move and regular access to outdoor adventures.

Generally good with children in their own family when raised with them, but due to their size and strength, they are best suited for homes with older children who understand how to respect a large dog.

Can be dominant with other dogs of the same sex and may possess a high prey drive toward smaller pets like cats unless raised with them from a very young age and carefully supervised.

Highly intelligent but independent; they require a confident handler who uses positive reinforcement. They are eager to please their primary bond-holder but may test boundaries if training is inconsistent.

Short, smooth, and dense; length varies slightly depending on climate.. Entirely white; a single dark spot on the skull (pirata) is permitted but not preferred in show standards.
