Dogo Argentino Kennels |
Dogo Argentino International For Sale Description: As an endurance hound much like the Irish Wolfhound ancestor the Dogo Argentino (Dogo's) are expected to track wild boar across vast pampas, corner the animal and attack and hold it for the hunters. They are capable of incredible bursts of speed for short distances, but are known for covering long distances at a gallop. Having cornered the boar, they must have enough strength in reserve to attack and hold a wild boar weighing up to 400 pounds. The Dogo Argentino's crave close physical contact with their people, a Dogo Argentino never lays at your feet, they lay on your feet. They are a reliable family guardian, interested in all activities and enjoying guests along with their family. Should the Dogo Argentino discern a direct threat to any member of their family, they will act to protect that person. A warm body and soft couch will keep a Dogo Argentino quiet for hours.
