Where are Dogo Argentinos from?

The Dogo Argentino hails from the Argentinian province of Cordoba. In the 1930s and 40s, a surgeon named Antonio Nores Martinez developed a breed powerful enough to hunt large game such as puma and boar by cross-breeding white dogs with long muzzles and heavy heads. Martinez’s expertise in anatomy and biology likely contributed to his understanding of dog breeding and selection principles, helping him to create a breed that was both physically capable and temperamentally suitable for big game hunting.
