About The Breed

& Breed Standard

  • The ideal Dogo Argentino is a study in harmony. He is large, powerful, and athletic. His strong head is supported by a thick, but elegant neck that connects to a balanced body, which is sustained by straight, substantial forelegs and very muscular, medium-angulated hindquarters. The Dogo gives the impression of explosive power and energy. Developed to find, chase and catch dangerous game the Dogo must have a good nose, great lung capacity, and a powerful, yet agile, muscular build. His expression is alert and intelligent, with a marked hardness. The Dogo is instantly identifiable by his short, completely white coat.

  • Males: 24 to 26½ inches, Bitches: 24 to 25½ inches. Ideal height: Males: 25 to 25½ inches, Females: 24½ to 25 inches. Height above or below the limits established in the standard is a disqualification. Approximate Weights: Males: 88 to 100 pounds, Bitches: 88 to 95 pounds.

  • The Dogo is a strong, tenacious and rustic dog that was created to protect family and property, as well as to hunt large game and destructive predators. He is a faithful companion at home and in the field. Of all of the Dogo’s attributes, he is above all else, courageous.

  • The Dogo Argentino originated in the province of Cordoba, in the central region of the Republic of Argentina. Its creator was Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez.

    His work was based upon the crossbreeding of several purebreds with the Old Fighting Dog of Cordoba, Great Dane, Pointer, Bull Terrier, Boxer, Bulldog, Pyrenean Mastiff, Irish Wolfhound and Spanish Mastiff. Through different generations, Dr. Nores Martinez accomplished his purpose, producing the first family of Dogo Argentino.

    Its strength, tenacity, sharp sense of smell and bravery make it the best dog among those used for hunting wild boars, peccaries, pumas, and other predators.

    Its harmony, balance and athleticism are ideal for enduring long trips in any weather conditions and then fighting fiercely with the pursued prey.

    In 1964 the breed was recognized by the FCA which opened the studbooks to initiate registry. In 1973 the breed was accepted by FCI as the first and only Argentine breed, thanks to the great passion, work and effort of Dr. Augustin Nores Martinez, its late creator’s brother, and successor.

    The breed received full AKC Recognition in January 2020.
