History The history of the appearance of the dog breed Argentine dog is always associated with a man named Antonio Nores Martinez. It was for the first time, in the early 20th century (the 1920s), began the method of breeding strong, large dogs with a combat character. Martinez's dream was to create a breed that could represent his home country on the world stage. After 100 years, it's safe to say that he did it. In fact, the Argentinian dog breed, or as it is also called, the Argentine Mastiff, is a descendant of the now-extinct dog Cordova. When Martinez was just starting out, he had to face innate aggression, and despite his best efforts, he failed to eliminate or even significantly reduce that quality. Changes occurred, but they were not enough to change the nature of the breed, which is why the breed of Argentine dog was often used in clandestine dogfights. This trend exists today, as a result, he gained a bad reputation as an aggressive dog. In the 1990s, the breed was banned in many countries, as were some other fighting breeds of dogs Such as Phila Brasileiro and Tosa Inu. However, those successes that Martinez managed to achieve, allowed the dog to work in the pack, and the instinct of a fearless and ruthless fighter managed to somewhat transform into hunting. Thus, the modern breed of Argentine dog officially refers to hunting breeds rather than combat breeds, although in fact aggression and instinct of the fighter have a place to be.

Personality Argentinian Dogo is a powerful, strong breed with a large amount of energy.

Moreover, the breed of Argentine dog will not only tear up your favorite slippers - these pets are powerful and destructive, and therefore pieces of furniture and door should have to change. In relation to other animals and strangers operates the principle - of caution and readiness by default. If your dog befriended another dog, they will play and walk together, it is normal, but if suddenly there is a conflict situation with another dog you need to immediately grab your pet by the collar. Because there will be no mercy, as well as retreat. It's the same with conflicting people.

Next, let your pet know that all the most important things in his life are with you - you are their keeper and the undivided owner.
