Overview:

The Argentinian Mastiff, more commonly known as the Dogo Argentino, is a powerful and noble breed originating from Argentina in the 1920s, specifically developed for big-game hunting. These impressive dogs boast a striking appearance with their signature pure white coat, muscular build, and a strong, intelligent gaze. Temperament-wise, a well-socialized Dogo is often described as loyal, courageous, and protective of their family. While they can be affectionate and gentle with their loved ones, their protective instincts and high energy levels mean they are generally not suitable for apartment living and thrive in homes with ample space and an active lifestyle. They require consistent training and early socialization to ensure they are well-behaved around strangers and other animals. Regarding health, they are prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia and skin allergies, and due to their white coat, they have a higher incidence of deafness.
