As the name suggests, this breed originated in Argentina. The Argentine Dogo was apparently developed in the 1920s by a doctor who desired a dog that was adept at pack hunting and also provided protection for the family. Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez began the development of this breed with the Dog of Cordoba, a breed that is now extinct. This dog was thought to be of Mastiff origins. Martinez further developed the Argentine Dogo by crossing the Dog of Cordoba with many other breeds, such as the Irish Wolfhound, the Pointer, the Bull terrier, the Dogue de Bordeaux, the Great Dane, the Spanish Mastiff, the Boxer, the Bulldog, and the Great Pyrenees. The result of this great mix produced a fearless breed that was capable of hunting big game...... Find out more about this dog breed.
