The Dogo Argentino, sometimes referred to as Argentino Dogo or the Argentinian Mastiff, is a dog bred for hunting large game such as boar or mountain lion. "The creators stated that the correct Dogo temperament should reflect their rare contrast between extraordinary courage and incredible kindness of character. The Dogo is the most docile and mild of the hunting dogs and without a doubt, not even lap dogs have the kindness and patience to withstand the teasing that he can take from children." The Dogo keeps in close physical contact with his owners and is a reliable guardian. You will find him leaning against you or trying to get in your lap. With proper socialization it is friendly to family guests, but if it senses a threat it will protect its family. Could be aggressive to other animals, and it may be "too much dog" for the average household.
