De La Tierra Gaucha "Dogo Argentino"

Powerful, the Dogo Argentino is fearless yet sensitive; vivacious outdoors yet calm indoors.

The Dogo Argentino was developed in Argentina by Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez and his brother Agustin. The brothers wanted an ideal companion dog that was also a good pack hunter and guardian. The breeds that were used in the development were the Great Pyrenees, Irish Wolfhound, Pointer, Great Dane, Dogue de Bordeaux, Boxer, Spanish Mastiff, Bulldog, Bull Terrier and a now extinct mastiff-type breed called the Dog of Cordoba.
