In the dog world, the Dogo is selected as a guard dog because of its ferocity and bravery, and is highly trusted by people. However, the cultivation of Dogo dogs actually has a long history. Below, the editor of Youpet will briefly introduce the origin of the Dogo dog to all the pet owners who like dogs.

The Dogo dog originated in Argentina. A long time ago, they hunted on the Pampas plains. The terrain was complex and changeable. Many places were inaccessible even on horseback. Transportation could only be carried out on foot. In the wilderness where wild beasts roamed, they often encountered large animals unexpectedly. Wild beasts directly threaten the safety of hunters. As a hunting dog, you must be able to bravely confront these wild beasts without hesitation, rush to fight with them as soon as possible, and even when injured, you must stick to your position without flinching, thereby protecting the hunter's safety. Safety gives hunters time to prepare for battle or retreat.

From the beginning of the breeding program in 1928, it took 36 years until the Dogo Argentino was accepted by the Argentine Canine Federation (FCA) in 1964, and in 1973 it was officially recognized by the International Canine Federation (FCI). It took 45 years. In the meantime, Antonio paid the price with his life. During a hunting trip in 1956, Antonio was unfortunately stabbed to death. After this tragedy, Agustin inherited his brother’s legacy of breeding Dogo Argentinos. He moved the Dogo from the province of Cordoba to the city of Santa Rosa in the province of La Pampa, where he settled, where Augustin finally completed his mission of creating the Dogo Argentino.

Just like this, with many excellent characteristics, the Dogo is the perfect dog in the dog world, and is used to assist people in hunting. Even the Dogo is not afraid of large beasts. Have pet owners begun to regard the Dogo as their new idol?
