| Description: This breed is brave, even-tempered, loyal to its
owner/handler and barks little. Argentine Dogos have
considerable stamina and a strong hunting instinct. They
may try to dominate other dogs.
Because of their hunting instincts, they may not make good
watchdogs.
Argentine Dogos are not recommended for beginners and
need a well balanced, loving, but extremely consistent
training regimen. Only discipline your Argentine Dogo with
your voice. Isolation and overly tough training can lead to
unpredictable behavior.
