The Dogo Argentino is an extremely powerful and intelligent breed
of dog. They are slow to mature and often act like puppies until 2+ years of age. The untrained adolescent dogo
(1.5 - 3yrs) is an enormous liability, capable of great harm. Dogo Argentinos need their minds and bodies
exercised on a daily basis. Dogos are an independent, dominant, thinking breed of dog who were bred to think and
act on their own. They need a dominant, confident, loving and trustworthy leader who has time and know-how to properly
exercise and work them. Once a dogo loses respect for someone, it is almost impossible to gain it back. This powerful
breed of dog requires far more responsibility in raising and caring for them than most other breeds of dogs.
I do NOT recommend that a Dogo share a home with same-sex dogs in the herding
or terrier group.
