When in the 1920s, Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez wanted to develop a breed that can hunt wild boars for him through the rough terrain of Argentina, he chose two dog breeds to crossbreed and make a Dogo Argentino.
Contrary to the aggression that comes out while hunting, a Dogo Argentino is a happy dog in general. Towards their family, they show unusual loyalty and affection.
A Dogo Argentino on average stands at 24-27 inches tall and weighs on average 80-100 pounds. The size of these dogs gets them sorted into the big dog’s category.
