Cares for the Doge Argentine

  • Maintenance: Brushing with rubber mitten once a week, grooming with damp gloves and monthly bathing is recommended.
  • Haircut: Shorthair breeds should not be given a haircut. A renewal of the coat by brushing with a rubber glove, removing excess shedding and lightly grooming with scissors to accentuate the lines is sufficient.
  • Recommended grooming appointments: 1 monthly bath is sufficient to avoid excessive hair loss and bad odour.
  • Special attention: Elbow pads (use of the Dfender).

How is the Dogo Argentino?

The Dogo Argentino is a large-sized breed of dog that was originally bred in Argentina to hunt large animals such as wild boar and pumas. They are known for their courage, determination and intelligence, making them ideal as protection and working dogs.

However, it is important to note that proper training and socialisation are essential for Dogos Argentinos to be safe and effective as protection dogs. They must also be trained firmly and patiently, as they can be stubborn and need a clear pack leader.

In addition, despite their intimidating appearance, Dogos Argentinos are gentle and affectionate dogs with their owners and families. They love to be with people and make excellent companions. However, due to their size and strength, it is important to note that they can be challenging dogs to handle for inexperienced dog owners.

Overall, the Dogo Argentino is an excellent choice for those looking for a strong and loyal working and protection dog. However, it is important to note that this breed can be challenging to handle for inexperienced dog owners and requires proper training and socialisation.
