THE DOMESDAY BOOK OF DOGS
Dogo Argentino
The Old Fighting Dog of Cordoba preferred fighting to mating, which led to its ultimate demise, but in the 1920s while there were still a few examples of that breed left Dr. Antonio Norez Martinez outcrossed them to Great Danes and the Great Pyrenees, some English pointer blood was added later along with Irish Wolfhound and Dogue De Bordeaux to create the Dogo Argentino.
The Dogo Argentino is used to hunt jaguar, mountain lion and wild boar. Unfortunately as the breed is fearless, strong, robust and 'hard-hitting' it has attracted the attention of the dog fighting fraternity and consequently it has been banned in several countries.
