Kinds

This magnificent dog does not even have a standard color other than white, so there are no varieties. But there is one breed that not only contributed its genes and fighting qualities, but also pushed for the very creation of the Dogo Argentino. The Cordoba dog was very popular in dog fighting rings in the early 20th century.

She was called the "skinner." Having seen such a fighter at one of the bloody performances, the Martinez brothers decided to create a unique mixture, combining the best qualities of several representatives. And as a basis they took Cordovan females, not as bloodthirsty as males.

The Cordoba dog was also created in Argentina. Although its history begins much earlier, from the time of the conquistadors’ capture of the New World. Their irresistible desire to occupy new territories was supported by weapons and menacing, ferocious dogs.

They were specially trained to intimidate the local population so that they would not even think of attacking the invaders. From these animals the Cordovan dogs later came. Their main task, in addition to security, was dog fighting. And in the entire history of the breed, not one of its representatives has lost a single battle.

But the paradox is that despite clear leadership in this field, the breed gradually died out precisely because of its fighting character. The reason was the reluctance of the dogs to interbreed. Due to their bloodthirstiness, they tried to kill each other. Gradually, the breed dissolved, remaining as a memory only in the genes of the Dogo Argentino.

The Cordoba dog is the ancestor of the Dogo Argentino

History of the breed

The selection was based on ten famous breeds. Each of them brought something different to the “national pride of Argentina.” The Bulldog - tenacity and a strong chest, the Bull Terrier - fearlessness, the Great Dane - height, the Dogue de Bordeaux - the power of the jaws, the Irish Wolfhound gave speed, the British Pointer gave the hunter's instincts, and the Great Pyrenean Dog gave endurance and white coloring. The tenth, as mentioned, is Cordoba’s dog. This selection set was later called the “Antonio formula”.

Fascinated by the idea of ​​​​creating a new breed, the Martinez brothers spent several decades working on this work. Their father supported them in many ways. But the death of one of the brothers in the mid-20th century significantly complicated the selection. Many breeders began to uncontrollably crossbreed dogs using the magic “Formula”.

But the results did not live up to expectations. With great difficulty, Antonio's brother, Augustine, managed to return work on selection to the right direction. Finally, in May 1964, a new dog, Dogo Argentino, was introduced to the Argentine Kennel Federation.

But only 9 years later the breed received official recognition from the FCI. And in January 1999, the final version of the standard was published. Since then, the white Dogo Argentino has won the hearts of many dog ​​breeders from different countries.

The color of the breed comes only in shades of brown. Dogs' eyes are the same color as the rest of their hair: hazel brown or dark brown.

The appearance of the water spaniel is distinguished not only by its curly coat, but also by its long ears, which can completely cover the dog’s face. The entire body of this breed is harmoniously built. Protruding ribs, a long curved tail, webbed feet - all these characteristics help the spaniel to be a good swimmer.

Price and owner reviews

Nowadays, buying a Dogo Argentino will not be a problem; it has firmly established itself in both Europe and Russia. There are special nurseries that specialize in breeding such dogs, and not only in high-status cities, but also in the periphery.

You can get a healthy pet from a trusted breeder who will provide you with a passport, vaccination certificates and compliance with the breed standard. It is best to take a baby from 1.5 months. When choosing, look at the conditions of detention and the appearance of the future pet.

General rules – the coat is smooth, the eyes are clear and clean, the nose is moist. Throw your keys or a coin on the floor to test your hearing. The cost of a middle class Argentinean baby is approximately 500-800 dollars. The price of a show-class Dogo Argentino is slightly more expensive ($1000 or more).

The breed is becoming increasingly popular for its fit appearance, discreet character, numerous talents, mental strength and virtual absence of diseases. He is noble, courageous, cheerful and has an innate sense of self-worth. The standard of canine devotion and fidelity.

But reviews about them on the Internet are very different. During the discussion, people share problems in the content, but usually they can be solved. For example, too much appetite, excessive salivation, dental problems due to lack of calcium. More often there are rave reviews - “as affectionate as a cat”, very understanding, a dog-psychologist, not scary with him.

The Dogo Argentino is the standard of master's loyalty and devotion.

When describing it, some people will certainly hear the phrase “killing machine” or “monster dog”, but you need to look carefully at who is writing it. Experienced dog breeders or serious breeders will never reward a dog with qualities acquired from people. She is credited with cruelty for which man is responsible.

However, a poorly trained Dogo Argentino can be very dangerous. It’s not for nothing that they are called “white angels of death” in their homeland. The ruthlessness and bloodthirstiness of the ancestors lies dormant in the genes.

Therefore, the most important and necessary point is proper education. It is best to contact a specialist for this. Otherwise, you may not only lose your dog, but also have more severe consequences.
