Despite his intimidating appearance, the Dogo Argentino is usually friendly, yet is also a vigilant guardian with a thunderous bark. Early socialization is an absolute requirement to build the stable, discriminating temperament this breed is known for. Though tough to the core, Dogos love to be petted.

A powerful and commanding breed of dog, the Dogo Argentino should be muscular, athletic and brave. Created in Argentina in the hopes of developing a versatile hunting dog who would work well in packs, the Dogo Argentino has the potential to get on well with both animals and humans, if adequately socialised from a young age.
