History
Dogo Argentino History & Lineage
The Dogo Argentino originated in Argentina, after one Antonio Nores Martinez sought to breed a big game hunting dog that would also be suitable as a house pet back in 1928.
The dogs that he bred are now extinct, but they became the foundation stock for the Dogo Argentino that we know today. The dogs that Martinez bred were crossed with several other breeds, including Great Dane, Spanish Mastiff, Bull Terrier, Pyrenean Mastiff, and Irish Wolfhounds to reach the modern day Dogo Argentino.
The breed remains unrecognized by any major kennel club today, but their popularity among dog enthusiasts continues to rise and we may still one day see the official acknowledgement of the Dogo Argentino.



Dogo Argentino Medical Challenges
Some Dogo Argentinos can experience issues found in similar breeds, though they are predominantly healthy dogs and most live full lives without any serious issue. Annual checkups with your veterinarian will help you to better understand and ensure the health of your Dogo Argentino. The National Breed Club also suggests that you speak with your vet about BEAR tests to gain even more insight and understanding for your dog’s well being. Be sure to contact your vet right away if you have any serious concerns for the health of your dog. Your Dogo Argentino will be grateful for the loving care that you provide for them and they will be sure to find plenty of ways to show it that will continue to bring you joy.
