DOGO ARGENTINO IRELAND

The Dogo Argentino, is a large, white, muscular dog that was developed in Argentina primarily for the purpose of big-game hunting, including wild boar and puma; the breeder, Antonio Nores Martínez, also wanted a dog that would exhibit steadfast bravery and willingly protect its human companion to the death.

 

Dogos are big-game hunters and are sometimes trained for search and rescue, police assistance, service dogs, and military work.

 

As with all breeds, the Dogo Argentino can be good with children, if properly socialized at early age.

Dogo Argentinos have been bred specifically to allow better socialization with other dogs and are well suited for group environments. They get along with other pets in most rural and urban settings ranging from a complete outdoor farm dog to urban housing with a small yard, to crowded apartment buildings.
