Country of Origin
The Argentinian Mastiff (also known as the Dogo Argentino) is a large, white, muscular dog that was developed in Argentina primarily for the purpose of big-game hunting, including wild boar and puma; the breeder, Antonio Nores Martinez, also wanted a dog that would exhibit steadfast bravery and willingly protect its human companion to the death. It was first bred in 1928, from the Cordoba Fighting Dog along with a wide array of other breeds.

Temperament
Argentinian Mastiff are big-game hunters and are sometimes trained for search and rescue, police assistance, and military work. The Argentinian Mastiff was specifically bred to be fierce hunters, but then to go home to the hunters families and be gentle with the family.

Argentinian Mastiff are protective of what they perceive as their territory and will guard it against any intruder. They get along with other dogs as long as they have been properly socialized, but will usually not tolerate another dog trying to assert dominance over them, therefore they might not coexist peacefully with another dominant breed of dog. The Argentinian Mastiff has a life expectancy of nine to fifteen years.
