If You're Familiar With The Argentine Dogo...

Argintine Dogo... - This is an Argintine Dogo & looks like a relative of the Pit Bull.

I was reading a news item about an Argentine Dogo attacking a dog on the streets of California. When a cop tried to separate them, the Dogo attacked the police officer & the officer shot him in the head. At that point the dog ran into a nearby home where there was a drug operation going on. I had never heard of an Argentine Dogo so I go to Google & look it up. The dog favors a Pit Bull & the police are trying to equate the two. Having owned a Doberman Pinscher back when they were the most feared dog in the world & knowing what a sweet dog it was, I would like to know...what has been your experiences with an Argentine Dogo???

I live in a country where it is illegal to own a Pit Bull and no doubt the Argentinian Dogo is too. I have never heard of it before LadyM. Dogs are animals and we never know exactly how they will respond to a situation. I knew a pub dog that bar side would tear a stranger's arm off and customer side was the softest animal on earth! It is a matter of training. That said I believe that there is no reason to breed fighting dogs and those that do so should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Hi, p1ke....I miss you. How you doing? I usually wait to be introduced to the big bad-looking dogs. Some of them are just bad looking and not bad. I agree with LadyM that there are bad owners, not bad dogs.

I'm fine. I miss not posting but it's not worth the angst to have the things that you post deleted. I am on my website and get the occasional myLotter stop by. But if course i can't pay so it's mostly a lonely activity. LOL. I agree about dog owners. But dogs are animals and sometimes they, like us, will go with their instincts with calamitous results.
