| Origins and History | Source: Wikipedia Country/Region of Origin: Argentina Original purpose: hunting Name: also known as Argentinian Mastiff, Dogo Argentino Historical notes: Argentine Dogo dogs were first bred in the 1920's by Antonio Nores Martinez from the now-extinct Cordoba Fighting Dogs, which is believed to be descended from the Spanish Mastiff, Bull Terrier, Old English Bulldog, and Boxer breeds. The Cordoba Fighting Dog (CDF) was then crossed the Great Dane, Great Pyrenees, Pointer, Irish Wolfhound, and Dogue de Bordeaux as well as the ancestors of the CDF. The process continued until the desired traits were achieved, traits that could make the new breed capable of not only watching over home and herd but also take on wild boar, jaguars, and other big games. They are also versatile dogs and serve many functions such as being scent and sight dogs. |
