The Dogo Argentino is very pugnacious and a fierce dog. Originating in Argentina, it was bred to guard estates and hunt fierce animals like pumas and wild boars, so it is naturally aggressive toward other animals with formidable fighting ability. An adult weighs about 40 to 45 kg with a shoulder height of about 60 to 69 cm, with developed muscles, a strong body, brave character, and powerful bite and endurance. But the Dogo is fairly calm and rarely attacks without reason; it usually only strikes when its territory is violated or a stranger approaches abruptly..
