About The Dogo Argentino

The Dogo Argentino (also known as the Argentine Dogo or the Argentinian Fighting Dog) is a large, white, game-bred, muscular dog that was developed in Argentina for big game hunting.

The Dogo Argentino is a large, white, short-coated dog with a smooth, muscular body, displaying both power and athletic ability.The minimum height for the male is 62 cm(24.3 inches) at the withers, for the female 60 cm(23.5 inches). Maximum height is 68.5 cm(27 inches). The length of body is just slightly longer than tall, but bitches may be somewhat longer in body than dogs. The length of the front leg (measured from point of elbow to the ground) is approximately equal to one-half of the dog's height at the withers. The head is powerful with a broad, slightly domed skull and a powerful muzzle that is slightly higher at the nose than the stop, when viewed in profile. Ears may be cropped, or hang naturally, close to the skull. The relatively short tail is set low, thick at the base and tapers to a point. The Dogo Argentino should be evaluated as a hunting dog, and exaggerations or faults should be penalized in proportion to how much they interfere with the dog's ability to work.
