Expert Answer

The Dogo Argentino is very loyal to its owner, stays alert around strangers, adapts well, and is physically strong, so it can work as a hunting or guard dog but is not ideal as a pet. In addition, it is large—adults can reach 70 cm tall and about 40 kg—so it doesn’t suit city apartments. Finally, Dogo Argentinos are fairly aggressive and are banned in many parts of China, so learn the local laws before keeping one and start thorough training early.
