Though bred for an outdoor life, the Argentine Dogo is happiest when interacting with people. One thing that makes this rare dog so unique is its ability to be calm and docile indoors and then exuberantly enthusiastic the moment it steps outside. The Dogo has energy, but one that seems to be reserved for the great outdoors.

Because the Argentine Dogo grows so quickly and to such a large size, it’s important to start obedience training at an early age. The Dogo is strong, but can be stubborn. Combine this personality trait with its massive strength, and you should know that the Dogo isn’t the right dog for a meek owner or a first-time owner.M

The Dogo is comfortable with other household animals when raised with them from a young age. However, you shouldn’t bring another large male dog into the house with an Argentine Dogo. They are stubborn and like to be the dominant male of the house.

Rare and protected, it can be hard to find an Argentine Dogo breeder. In addition, many of their breeders are extremely conscientious and protective of their dogs, being very selective and careful about their customers.

In terms of health issues, veterinarians and breeders suggest that you ask about the dog’s risk for heart murmurs, heart disease, deafness and blindness.
