The Dogo Argentino, also known as the Argentine Mastiff, is a large and muscular breed originating from Argentina. Bred for hunting, they were specifically developed for big-game hunting, including wild boar and puma. They are known for their strength, loyalty, and protective instincts. With proper training and socialization, they can be excellent family companions, but they do require firm leadership and consistent training due to their strong-willed nature. Additionally, they typically have a short, white coat, and they are known for their distinctive black markings, often around the eyes and ears.
