Also known as the Argentinian Mastiff, this powerfully built large breed is used for its superior guarding and hunting capabilities. While it is loving, devoted, and highly responsive, as a pet, it needs a firm Alpha owner, well-established boundaries, and consistent rules to thrive. Originally, it hunted in a pack, and that group-oriented intelligence makes the Dogo a superb family guardian.
