THE DOGO ARGENTINO DOG - DANGEROUS & BANNED?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ย. 2022
- The Dogo Argentino is a brave hunting and guardian breed, but his back history in dog fighting genetics has him banned from several countries across the world, accused of being extremely dangerous to humans. I fly out to Italy in order to meet some, as the Dogo is banned in my home country, England. I want to discover for myself if he is in fact dangerous, or just another poor dog breed used as scape goats for governments who cannot enforce proper legislation for responsible dog ownership.
During my reseach of the Dogo Arentino, I did not find one death in the UK at the hands of a Dogo Argentino. I do believe they should return to the UK, but responsible dog ownership be enforced across ALL DOG BREEDS so that the breeds are not singled out; instead poor ownership and abuse by humans is targeted instead.

The editor mistakingly put Dogge de Bordeaux instead of Fila Brasiliera as banned: she apologises. Please stop leaving hundreds of comments on this, we are aware
🎯 ❤️
*Fila Brasileiro not Brasiliera. Brasileiro is our nationality, that's why Fila Brasileiro.
Welcome back Dogo. 💖
People can’t resist they have no life and can’t wait to leave negative comments.
@@southsidefarmer8860 since when is ,,dogue de Bordeaux isn't banned in uk, fila brasileiro id" negative comment?!
I think the main problem with most problem dogs, is that they are in the wrong hands.
True. As long as you raise them right they turn out fine
@@randomvids9507 Even among us humans it happens worse and we are supposed to be above them. What do we expect from an animal that may have some mental or biological defect. If this society protects criminals how to be so harsh with those who are born in inferior natural conditions.

That’s because everyone says all dog breeds are the same and anyone can own any dog and that is not true alot of people aren’t up to a high drive guardian breed not too mention alot of dogs are simply not built to be in an urban environment my dogo would be a perfect example as would pittbulls. So it’s a two for some dogs are in the wrong hands but a lot of people are wrongly telling them there’s no truth to any warning about a breed that facilitates it.
@@edreynolds8721 any dog can have mental illness but breed specific behavior is obvious and the numbers don’t lie on the matter scent hounds sniff and sight hounds see it’s not controversial.
Varry nice

I am a retired dog trainer and I have a 4-year-old Dogo who looks very much like the one in this video. I have had mostly Dobermans, German Shepards, and Pit Bull-type dogs throughout my life. This is my first Dogo and he is one of the best dogs I have ever had the privilege to own. He is smart, obedient, calm, and very tolerant of people and other animals including dogs. I would not recommend them for everyone just due to their size and strength. My dog Dexter has never shown any unwarranted aggression toward humans or animals but if needed he will very quickly shut down any kind of confrontation. He absolutely loves children and seeks their attention whenever possible. Even though he is huge he is very gentle with kids and never gets too rowdy. I walk him nearly every evening and many people in the neighborhood know him and look forward to seeing him. I don't think any breed should be banned because every dog is an individual and should not be judged by the actions of others of the same breed. I also believe you must be responsible for your dog and his behavior. These kinds of dogs require a lot of time and attention to keep them and the public safe so unless you are willing to make that commitment get a cat instead.
Period!!! You couldn't have said any better!!!
Is there a manual on how they need to be trained? I would like for the dog not to take food from others and not to eat found food. I also want him to walk beside me and not to attack, but to attack on command. My father had a German Sheppard that he took from the police as a puppy and they gave him a training manual with it
@Mariana Iantchouleva You will need a lot more than a manual for that. This is a dog, not a refrigerator, my friend. You need a professional trainer qualified to do the kind of training you are seeking. This kind of training requires lots of dedication, time, and money to do properly. Before you can even think about any kind of protection training, your dog will need to be completely obedience trained and able to work off lead. Please seek a highly qualified trainer with good references and have a serious discussion about all that's involved in taking on this kind of responsibility. Best wishes.
I have had a female Dogo Argentino before, Maya was a very good dog, obedient, loyal, affectionate with those she knew. Very protective of her family and home. I have another Dogo puppy reserved and I pick her up in a week from now.
Dogs are not ban due to breed, they are ban due to humans, why you think we dont have flying cars? Well cjz average joes cant stop at a red light or avoid drinking and driving
I have a 2 year old Dogo Argentino .
Loyal , lovely , affectionate ( extra clingy ) and loved by everyone in my family
Same here
I feel you on the extra clingy. My girl needs to be next to us at all times. So loving
@@chantalventer2414 haha , it’s the same with my kid. He’s gotta be by my side all the time .
@@phillybornandbred2867 🤝
Can you take him for a walk in public area's off the lead where there is other dogs
My Dogo is my life. He loves everyone he meets, and everyone loves him too. He’s the best dog I’ve ever had.
Weird the chick from the office has a bias against it
I got a Dogo 30 years ago when they were almost unheard of in the states. Fell in love with the looks. Rambo was extremely affectionate and calm. Loved puppies. Actually aren’t especially aggressive since original purpose was for hunting in a pack with other dogs. Mine was a couch potato. Great watchdog based
on appearance and extremely loud bark. My vet loved him
People confuse dog aggression and strange dog aggression. If you look into the history of pitbulls they would go in the pit kill a dog and when they got home play with the family yorkie. There's a difference between all dog aggression vs strange dog aggression and dogo argentinos can have strange dog aggression easily while hunting in a pack no problem.
when you want to understand the temperament of a breed you study the breed history and then you might learn that just because your dog was fine not all of them are just like anything else
@@nicksokaluk9518 the best kind of research on a breed, is to own one. I have a dogo and she is amazing as well. Not saying every dogo is perfectly mannered, but if trained properly, given leadership, exercise, and mental stimulation like they crave, dogo argentinos are amazing dogs.
@@ashlynkelly1239 so your nurture over nature, people like you need to learn nature always wins
There are show hunting and fighting lines!
If they were legal in uk, it would be a disaster. The problem is not the breed its the owners. Backyard breeding and people who get a dog without knowing its background purpose etc. A dog that powerful and strong in the wrong hands is a ticking time bomb
Amazing dogs do get into the wrong hands
@@Animal-Watch the breeding of dogs should be scrutinised and controlled alot more. Dogs should be chipped and licensed, this needs to be enforced. I think in the UK at present we are more likely to see more breeds banned than taken off banned list.
@@Animal-Watch The damages by the other "most amazing dogs" rarely results in death. However, these beauties in the wrong hands would become unintentional killing machines.
It’s true, powerful dogs in the wrong hands, although that can be said about many other powerful but unbanned breeds. Akitas, Cane Corsos, Presas, Rottweilers etc are also powerful, dominant, alpha breeds but are not banned in the UK. In the wrong hands, all those breeds can be just as scary as the Dogo Argentino
@@user-wx8ll7ts6t if action is not taken all these dogs could be next on banned list. Its the lack of legislation thats the issue. Dogs are being breed for cash, the health and temperament of pedigree dogs are declining as a result.
I have a 4 year old 52 kg male Dogo Argentino, a sweet clown towards me and my family, but a ferocious killer towards strangers and other male dogs. He doesn't like strangers at all and guards my property like real soldier. Not the dog for everyone, very stubborn character, needs lots of exercise and need to be raised with lots of patience and a silk glove if you use physical punishment they will turn on you and attack you for sure. But if you now how to raise it in a proper way the best dog in the world. I love my boy with all of my heart
I am a very lucky owner of a five month old female Dogo Argentino and I will admit she is very powerful and a handful as we go through training, but I have never had a sweeter or more affectionate dog, she is absolutely the light of my life!
HOWS THE DOGO TREATING YOU?!!? I want one so bad
@@Tammy8746G8 before you get one be sure you can afford a good trainer these dog's are so fiercely protective, much more than I have ever delt with so we are struggling with some things,but make no mistake, you will not find a sweeter or more affectionate, loving dog than a Dogo, granted I'm in a unique position in life so maybe I put more on her than I should, but I truly love her to the point I would give up everything for her!
@@johnnyevans4728 im planning on having a female doggo too , ive heard that theiy are a bit calmer than males ,and that theiy dont p*ss everywhere to mark their territory like males do , i have a big garden with vegetables i just hope my future dog don't ruin it lol , anyway i've had a rottie when i was in my 20s ,a big teddy bear 🤍 that died of old age 5 years ago unfortunately ,, so i think im ok im not a newbie when it comes to handling big dogs ,,, I like this doggo breed because like rottie theiy are absolutely fearless and capable of intimidating junkies and thiefs who regularly are hanging around my property and sometime een get in checking if there is something to steal , the only thing im worry about is if the female doggo like pitbulls won't release her bite from the thief when i tell her to ,,,,and go too far or if ( god forbid ) she k*ll one of these junkies) thats the only thing that really scare me because i know that this breed is sweet to the owner but ferocious and merciless with strangers who on top of that might get in my property as the fence is quite easy to jump , what do u think ?
My big boy is the sweetest dog i ever known. He is a hero for saving three little girls their dad and small dog from a huge vicious dobie. He is a protector. He loves people, kids alike. Proper owners and trainers is all they need. Bad rap on these dogs.
what was the dobie doing?
They are great dogs indeed but not for everyone.
I had the luck to meet a grown male and a half grown male several years ago on my husband’s job site. They are so very beautiful. The owner had them for hog hunting and explained they work in threes best in hunting. Both were very sweet and it was amazing petting them and seeing them in person.
While the owner was there…..
I have the pleasure of meeting one of these dogs at a dog show. He was very calm and he was not aggressive towards any of the other male dogs. He was a lot bigger than I thought when I was up close. Beautiful Dog!
I live in Uruguay, and the Dogo Argentino is a very popular and common breed here. It is a breed used for hunting, especially for hunting wild boar. Although they can be aggressive, I believe that in good hands they are very obedient dogs. Males are affectionate with their owners
Esa raza nació en la provincia de córdoba argentina su creador fue Antonio nores Martínez
Uruguayo no te quieras adueñar de la raza, ya me la veo venir que van a decir que es uruguayo el dogo jajajaa
El dogo es argentino. Pero no vive exclusivamente en Argentina. Como el bull dog inglés o francés viste? O el galgo afgano también.
@@matyk9dogtrainerdíjo que es muy popular y común, no que había sido creado ayí. Le estan dando la razón a un comentario de arriba.
@@ismaeltevenal7492 es un chiste lo mio
I lived in Rio and my housemate had this dog. It was very kind but extremely powerful, I had never seen such a strong athletic dog like that, it once jumped up to “kiss me” and accidentally smashed into my face and pretty much knocked me out, I came to and was terrified, I thought I had lost my eye, the dog felt so bad and was licking me but I was traumatised.
They are so powerful if you can’t control a dog like this DON’T get one as it’s basically a giant pitbull. So if it were out of control it could be extremely lethal but they are a kind hearted breed.
We had a dogo and it was a mistake to have him. We loved him and he loved the entire family. He was amazing with kids. He was a working dog we got from Argentina on a trip there and brought him back to the states. Very smart and extremely powerful. He could run for hours. I walked him 3 miles in the morning and 3 miles each evening every day, summer, rain winter snow and cold. He was a machine but was not meant to be in a home with small yard. They are are meant to run with the wind out in farms or big game hunting.
I don’t recommend them otherwise.
Just wondering. Why woulxnt you recomend one.. we are looking to get one for the family. I work alot & have my wife & daughter home & id like some loving protection dog..
That is the same with alot of breeds that people put into family homes that have to much drive to be there, they need far more stimulation and exercise than they are usually given, our working line gsd and malinoir is worked thoroughly every day mentally and physically because that what they need and I knew that when I got him, they are a big commitment and deserve that from their owner
@@Kira-kg4kl how do u work them mentally and physically?apart from taking them on a walk
@@eastoakland-S65feen if you want protection get a German shepherd, a dogo argentino need an alpha male to direct him bc they are very strong dogs.
@@kashkhan8128 same way you work any dog mentally, training, tasks, giving them a job to do rather than just expecting them to lie in the corner, agility work instead of a walk so on, anything that requires the dog to think as 99% of the time people walk their dogs on the same route which is boring and not at all enriching for the dog, they learn routine pretty quickly and become bored of that routine
There actually are some in the u.k that nobody knows about.
siempre contrabandeando los piratas.
@@mvissio ke?
Awesome breed but no, it would be completely irresponsible to reintroduce them to a nation full of irresponsible, backyard breeding, over breeding idiots like in the UK.
I dred to think of the issues we're going to have with the Cane Corso, xl Bully and Mallinois to name a few over the coming years.
If we change our breeding and ownership laws etc then yes, bring back the Dogo.
Ps our dog rescues are bursting at the seams and our pounds are putting to sleep more healthy, good natured dogs because of the 7 day rule more than ever before.
First sentence is spot on.
@@KAZUYADOG it was all spot on.
I don't live in the Uk but in Belgium. Most dogs in dog shelters here are mals, gsd and bully breeds, and this the past 10 years. And mostly because of behaviour issues or the owners underestimated the amount of work to put in them. Or the energy they have
@@wanneske1969 people buy them because of how they look or because of a movie they watched and like you said, they know little about the breed or its needs.
We are already seeing problems with the xx bully. As reported in the press, killing owner, strangers and injuries to people.
It is said that one of the main causes of the extinction of the "perro de pelea cordobes"(Cordovan fighting dog) was the ferocity of the breed, because when it came to bringing a male and a female together to procreate, it was very common for one of the two to end up dead. since almost always there was a fight between the two.
That breed was very complicated to breed, because it was created more than anything to participate in the dog fighting circuits, something that unfortunately was very common in those times.
The Dogo Argentino has some of his genes, but it is a more docile and easygoing breed, although obviously everything depends on the way it is raised by the owner.
Interesting Thankyou 🙌
Great you read Wikipedia
@@RickyBobby42069 not really, is something well known here in my country, think that the breeds bred here can be counted with one hand, "el perro de pelea cordobes" was only the first one.
@@Animal-Watch As an owner of both Dogo Argentino and APBT (real game bred APBT not BBM) I can tell you that Dogos are A LOT more dog agressive and SSA than even game bred APBT. The difference I have observe is APBT enjoy fighting but can be trained to focus their drive in more productive sports as long as you teach them impulse control and trained them. Dogos are dominant, strong willed and stubborn. I have owned 3 dogos and one of them have been very agressive towards me as the owner. Growling and trying to be the dominant one. The dogo I have right now is my last one. I will never own one again.
@@samuraiedge2619 Yes, and when they hunt they have a commun goal (catching the hog) so they are less likely to fight each other when they have a commun goal to in mind. However, when they are not hunting they focus that drive into fighting for dominance. That being said even when hunting they often end up killing each other. If you ask Dogo Argentino hunters you will find out it's not rare for them to loose dog over a fight while hunting. Very domimant and strong willed. I am on my last dogo and will never own the breed again. BUT... it's a dog and not a wherewolf and I don't think any breed should be banned.
8:30 is a perfect example of why large, powerful dogs can be dangerous in public. If you want these dogs to be legal in your country then they shouldn’t be allowed in public places. Why should other dog owners have to fear for their dogs life because this dog breed doesn’t like males? One slip of the leash and some poor dog is about to be ripped to shreds.
I agree, it's to dangerous
My rescue husky is the same way lol i keep a handle on him tightly when other other dogs are around so any dog can be like that although my husky is strong i can easily handle him hes about 64lbs obviously not the strength and size of a dogo
That’s valid but that’s also not specific to a breed.
German Shepherds have started more fights than any dog I can think of (despite very seldom my winning them) but they aren’t banned
@@oceaser6977 because German Shepherds and Huskies can be socialised and trained not to be aggressive to other dogs the dogo can’t it’s not a hard concept to grasp lol
@@oceaser6977 I have owned German Shepherds for nearly 50 years, your comment is obviously emotion based, with no facts at all. The government puts out dog bite stats every year, it isn’t German Shepherds that always lead the list of biters. Do some homework…
Have had two of these great dogs their loyalty is second to none miss both of them so much 💗
I lost a senior dog last year. I had always said if I got another dog it would be a Dogo Argentino. As luck would have smiled on me a Dogo mix popped up in a rescue where I got my American bulldog from 10 years earlier. I immediately went to adopt her. She is a magnificent animal, smart attentive and loyal. Not unlike a Cane Corso they need experienced owner, fortunately for me I'm an experienced large dog owner.
I have no doubt that she will be the best dog I've ever owned. We love her and she adores us.
I rescued a classic American bulldog, a Johnson, he's about 180 pounds, had him about 6 years he's about 9 or 10, so I'm worried he may not last much longer. Best dog I ever owned.
@@juanelcubano6713 my American bulldog is currently 11. Since I lost a senior dog last year the thought of him aging has crossed my mind many times.
Lucky for me my Dogo is picking up a bunch of his habits so he will be with me in spirit even after he passes
@@randalltaylor3700 funny you say that, I was just given a beautiful 1 year old Pocket Bully all white, looks like my Chance's little sister.
Fun fact: my family always owned terriers. We started with a female Airedale (bought from a reputable breeder who sadly passed away a few years ago) and then kept one of her puppies. She was alright with most dogs. Her pup (male) grew up to be very dog aggressive with other males and occasionally females as well. All his siblings, save for one of his sisters who was also dog aggressive, behaved just fine with other dogs.
Years after both Airedales passed away, we adopted a rescued bull terrier. Despite his previous life of abuse and neglect, he gave my family zero problems and even managed to get beat up by a Maltese.
Banning races is useless. What we need is competent dog breeding and better training for both the pets and, most importantly, their humans.
Could not have put your last sentence any better. You are spot on and I blame bad or incompetent pet owners more than breeds for reputations, as well as the media not always being objective.
@@khalidomar1381 as someone who grew up with dogs, cats, a very sassy bird and countless temporary rescues of any species under the sun, I firmly believe more kids need to be introduced to animals from a very young age. That alone would help a lot. Especially with reading animal body language correctly
most terriers are prone to dog aggression.
but yeah dog banning is just an "easy" solution for govs.
Mandatory or very acessible dog education would be more usefull in the long run as car driving lincense.
As with horse keeping, most people are aware of the potential injuries so the seek training and education.
but because there very diverse dog tendency from "plug and play" labrador and golden retrivers to must do at least 2 years of training working dog breeds
Airedales, in my opinion, are one of the great unsung breeds. My mate has two American Airedales from a working line, big buggers, and they are absolute beasts, in a good way. Lovely temperament, smart, driven, black belt pest controllers and workaholics. Fantastic breed.
Were they working terriers or average house pets
I've been a Dogo owner for the past 13 years. She's very kind but fearless, won't get into trouble but if provoked she will try and end the situation.
I wish I had a second Dogo around her age because they love being around people and dogs.

@@jaimenazaryan860@jaimenazaryan860 if you ever have a thief breaking into your house, the last thing you will think about is the thief's safety. The Dogo Argentino is intimidating so that sometimes is more than enough to keep strangers out of your property.
Thank you for the episode Anneka, we've been waiting for an episode done by you on dogo's. I'll share it with everyone I know to show how amazing dogs they are, at home they are big kids, affectionate and loving, outside the house they are on gard and protective, Dr. Martinez made them human friendly, so if a dogo is not, then the blame goes to the owner.
Thank you so much 🤗 🙏
I think some countries banning them are for the good.
I saw a video of kangals tied up in London, malnourished and tied up by crappy owners. Kangals are not gladiators but protectors. Imagine if it was a dogo, it'd be highly dangerous.
Dogos on the other hand are too much. They need exercise, a strong owner (cuz love ain't gonna make a good dog), obedience training.
And an owner who understands the dog. Like someone who will respect it as a catch dog not a show dog.
People who thinks that to raised a dog, all you need is love and care, are people who has never raised a dog.
90 percent of the times if i dont shout at my dogs they dont listen to a thing i say
More like people who've never had a working dog. I've got experience with a Shephard and whew, I thought I knew how to handle dogs but her drive and energy taught me to step up my game and I had to stay on top of it all the time. Amazing dog but your right. Alot more than just love, there has to be knowledge on how to handle working dogs and fullfil their needs. Worst part was her intelligence. Just like a kid trying to manipulate to get her way
I think you should do the Japanese tossa next it will be interesting to see what they are like
I’d love to
I'd LOVE to see this episode happen!
@@Animal-Watch go to CZECHOSLOVAKIA or Poland
Love to see the tosa !!!
I love your idea on dog licenses. We own dobes and see so many people with dogs they shouldn’t own. There should be different levels of license for different experience levels. Maybe pre ownership courses should be introduced.
Yes I’ve really been discussing this with some top dog trainers and the key is getting rid of the breeders who breed with any temperament for money and then sell to anyone
@@k9cfc right out of my own mouth. Glad not everyone thinks getting the govt involved is a good idea. Just more hassle and compartmental jobs for tax payers to support.
Great Comment! We own a male Dogo Argentino and he is a great responsibility. Regardless wether you have a powerful breed or not dog ownership is a big commitment and lots of knowledge. Considering most pedigree dogs cost several thousand to buy (plus equipment etc) if you want to own one, even a tiny toy dog then some basic training to acquire a license would be an excellent idea both for the owners and especially the dogs themselves.
@@cocktailconcierge713 you can't be serious. Do we need a license to have children as well?
@@Bucephalus84 We absolutely should!
16:30 Your words at the end sum up the problem and the solution in the most intelligent and concise way I have ever heard. Thank you for all the great content Animal Watch team!
Thankyou so much 🙏🙏
Sorry, but Anneka doesn’t take a very strong, hard look at all of the issues in these types of videos. Her take always seems to be: All dogs are the same and all dogs are sooooo cute!
It’s overly simplified.
When my first dog died of old age I looked at adopting from several breed specific rescues (collie, border collie, husky, shepherds, etc.). They all warned that their breeds had ingrained behaviors (like herding) and physical traits that couldn’t be trained out of them by the best, most loving, most well-intentioned owners.
But somehow, when it comes to breeds like this that are hugely powerful, come from dog fighting backgrounds and are physical threats to the safety of other dogs and people, supporters always say it’s the owner and not the breed that determine behavior.
I bet all of these people praising the dogo as the best dogs when raised by the “right” person also think chihuahuas are crazy dogs that no “right” person can fix.
Very few people should own dogos and other breeds like this even if they’re “good” owners. These dogs are too powerful and clearly have too many ingrained behaviors that make them a threat to other people and other dogs. Yeah, of course they’re going to love their families-it’s OTHERS that are at risk.
I've been a volunteer in a dog shelter for 5 years and I have to admit that not all dogs are the same. The dogo has the animal aggression and drive of a pitbull in a bigger package. They are also extremely strong. Off course you get softer specimens but I wouldn't recommend them to most dog people
You are right. If a greyhound kills the neighbours cat that jumped the fence, a jack russell kills the kids hamster, huskies try to escape etc , it's 'genetics' but when a bully breed attacks another dog it's 'all how they are raised' ... I love the bully breeds and molossers but you cannot deny their ancestry. Breeding for show or companionship is great but ancient instincts sometimes pop up.
I had one 20 years ago before it became popular and then banned in several countries, I had one from the work line, was very balanced and obedient, never shown sign of aggression to people.. I think most of the problems come when people decide to have it as first dog or with not enough experience, by then I had 4 dogs and the dog before was a Rottweiler..
They definitely are not a dog for a person who doesn't have dog aggressive experience , a potentially very dangerous dog !
Totally agree zz im suprised Anneka is so excited to re introduce a dog that can rip to shreds another dog in the blink of a eye,Not that I am against big dogs Im preparing my house and garden for a Corso hopefully soon and I have dealt with dog aggressive dogs before German shepheards and a Akita im not small at 17 stone but I doubt I could stop one of them if it went beast mode so will stick with the hopefully more friendly Corso,No disrespect to others out there Its a stunning dog and if you can handle one fair play to you but if not sure please dont take the risk.
You will need to be a confident owner or person in general, because once they get the sent of your fear and insecurities then they will be your alpha
@@gabriellopez4111 lol yeah not how that works
@@stevek4438 I have 2 Corso’s and I live in France where there are many Dogo’s. There’s actually not much difference between them. Dogo’s are a tad smaller and slightly more athletic with a slightly higher energy. They are bred to be catch dogs but Corso’s can be as well. Also Dogo’s work in packs so many are not dog aggressive if raised well
I’m glad you finally did a video on this breed
my favourite breed, I had the privilege to have my intact male for 13 years, he was loving and kind , he was perfectly fine with other male dogs , he would only respond when another dog would attack him . The most loyal intelligent friend ever so gentle and my best guardian , this is not a breed for a novice owner . Big love for the Dogo
I do think they should be unbanned, banning dogs does nothing as dog fighters can just use other dogs which end up becoming dangerous too.
your talking and making sense here, that's one thing Governments the Media and Politicians are incapable of doing.
This breed can be unpredictable regardless of how well it can be trained. You should require a license to own this breeds
@@mrsingh6597 They're not "unpredictable", people just get this dog thinking it can be a regular house pet like a labrador. These dogs need to be given a job and lots of exercise to get rid of excess energy, and if not they lash out. Just like any other working breed with a high drive
@@mrsingh6597 These are hardcore dogs , I have seen get tossed around by boars twice their size and get up bite the said bore.
Amen, amen, amen. Dog fighters are persistent. It’s proof that when you ban one breed, they use others.
Like in Miami-Dade County. They banned APBT. Now the dog fighters use this breed, Dogo Argentino. You can’t stop it 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you for lengths that you had to go to make this film. I've waiting for some footage of these breed for some time and you didn't disappoint. Fascinating. I too believe that the Dogo Argentino should be allowed to grace our homes again. I wonderful breed
Fantastic! Looking forward to your upcoming episode on the working Dogo lines. Love all your work.
I love Dogo Argentino, my brother has a pair on his farm. However you can not socialise the dog aggression out of them. Legalising them in Britain would be a nightmare
I have a girl run her in packs perfect alpha no drama 😉
@@AmstafDogoMalAkitaMum336 They would inevitably fall into the hands of idiots. That's the problem.
@@sexyrupert4135 all alpha breeds I can get a cane Corso but not a dogo? need a license like set up where u sit a test can you control and train alpha breed and are you sound . I guess like a gun license as there levels to dog breeds etc
@@sexyrupert4135 thats so true 👍
the problem with dogs that are aggressive to other dogs is that if they attack another dog while out on walks and the dogs owner tries to go in between they will attack the owner, so unless the aggressiveness is bred out they are still dangerous
Edit: that being said I don't think they should be banned, instead there should be a dog owners license to ensure that dogs that are hard to handle only go to people who can handle them
Same with my dogs when they fight though and they are non same sec aggressive. I’ve been in hospital because of general callings out so any dog breed can do this.
What I loved about my American pitbull terriers that if they did go after another dog and I got in between them they would never even think about biting me and if they did bite me it was on accident and they let go right away with this oh God I'm so sorry look on their face
Aggressive on walks? I have 2 dogos, a male and a female. The dogo is protective. We have absolutely no problem with bigger dog breeds as we cross paths. The problems occur with the little breed dogs… Personally I blame the owners. They think it’s “cute” their little dog tries to act tough. I’ve literally been on walks.. having these little dogs not only aggressively bark- but lunge. Unpopular opinion… if I allowed my dog to do that to you and your dog on your walk- I would have animal services at my door the next day.
Yes you can’t train some of the instincts out of the breed…. But it’s always about owners and training.
Your so right
Nice episode. Chapo is from a show line stock. That alone says a lot. No wonder he's used to having total strangers pet him.
I was lucky enough to own a Dogo, best dog I ever had, Hadji. Loyal , fearless, raised with my young children. I wish I had another one.
I can tell you now I owned a rescue dogo argentino/ American bulldog. In the UK. Met an Argentinian breeder on holiday over here who almost wept when he saw him and told me what he was.
That dog was the most loving, gentle boy I've ever owned. However I never locked my door at night - 7 stone and hyper alert. Hugely powerful. Not dangerous at all. But not one to back down either.
Thank you Anneka for this episode.Please do a video on the French Mastiff.
I've got a Dogo Argentino living a few houses down from me. He's well trained; an ideal watch dog, cuddley with people he knows, plus a perfect walking dog. My Husky mix makes him shudder, though I'm sure she'd like to say more than "hi".
The Dogo Argentino I'm speaking of is in the US and is well trained, friendly, intelligent, wonderful with children, and he knows what to do with crap trying to invade his owner's property including the house.
Holy crap that Dog his huge, I would of been terrified if I saw that thing coming towards me. I wonder if Anna was nervous
It's way too heavy to hunt wild boar
Theyre amazing dogs when raised properly with responsible owners, they should be unbanned for sure. They don't need to like every human and dog they meet, no one does.
So true
It's not about liking everyone or not. It's about living in a human world and have good manners! All dogs should at a bare minimum have learned how to respect eachothers personal space.
@@vikingdogmanship some males just do not like other males & same with females and other females, regardless of training or respecting each others space. Any professional and experienced trainer/handler will tell you that
@@C-24-Brandan Yes. And As a dog trainer i experince most normal well intended humans cant even handle their german shepherd or chihuahua. By all means, they have a good heart.... But 95% of people just dont have what it takes to own a dog like this and give it a life it deserves
I work with dogs, they are all amazing. But i do think some breeds are not the best mix. If everyone could have a dogo it would be bad, look at him with other male dogs. I think it is a wise choice to ban them. Why? Because male dog aggression, if someone can't hold him my dog can be killed. I think all dogs are good but in the wrong hands every breed can become dangerous. I do think you need to be a stable owner with some power breeds for sure. The cropped ears.. horrible!
Good assessment, but some dog breeds are the way they are regardless of training.
I don't think they should be banned but the owners should be monitored : do tests, go to dog shool and if there are incidents with the dogs, they should be assessed. Not just for dogos but for most molosser breeds and the bull and terrier breeds.
@@wanneske1969 Some people go to dogschool for years but are still not good at owning a dog.
Thank you for making this video. They are such majestic animal. In my opinion the issue is breeding incredibly powerful guardian breeds who have hight protective nature yet low prey drive and desire to bite. With hunting and terror dogs which have literally been bread to seek and destroy. Its a deadly combination. For the job the DA was bread for perfect, but for vast majority of dog owners its an accident waiting to happen. Not because of the dog but the lack of knowledge and understanding of owners that will put them in vulnerable situations. Anika handled these dogs beautifully and I really do admire them, however most people are not equipt to own one. I would love to speak with some of these dogs though and share their perception if everything.
My parents friends had one. And he was very massive. But always very friendly and caring. It’s definitely the person and owner. If he’s in good hands, He’ll always be an amazing dog. Doesn’t matter what dog breed.
If youve ever had two breeds these comments are just laughable i have a beagle and a dogo their behaviors aren’t similar at all though upbringing is… some breeds arent for most people or most places can’t imagine taking my dog down an apartment everyday for walks it would be. The narrator even alludes to this fact saying be careful about what breeder and that is because genetics determine behavior last study to about 70% of course you could abuse a nice dog thats the 30%
WRONG , the dog breed matter as much as his upringing , some breeds are just more challenging to control
@@jaimenazaryan860 it matters more 70% on average the data is out there
@@kevinyoung947 I KNOW
Thank you for doing a Dogo video. Such an amazing breed!
Thank you for doing this episode and I love your work. I hope you can get the opportunity to do the same for the Fila Brasiiliro - another amazing breed of dog whom I feel has a bad reputation because its misunderstood and had bad owners.Keep up the amazing work
I will definitely at some point. Thankyou
The problem with powerful and aggressive breeds like this is that most people just don't know how to handle them, or they are purposefully reckless, and that can lead to tragedy. The problem is rarely the dog, but instead people.
Having said that, I think the government should stay out of people's business. It is MASSIVE overreach to tell people what type of dog they can own.
I agree with this comment for every dog other than a pitbull the amount of fatalities they have caused is way to high to simply ignore
@@Daaan09same....pitbulls are the only breed that I believe should truly be banned. The amount of killing and mauling they've done cannot be ignored.
@@Daaan09 Rottweiler is also a dangerous dog.
@@Daaan09
The Pitbull is Just the most popular breed that Happens to attract a certain Type of owner. Reckless backyardbreeding, Lack of knowledge and responsibility.
Sorry to say, I am for some Rules regarding powerfull breeds: but for owners, Not against breeds
Each Person who wants to have a powerful breed should have to prove that they are responsible, have knowledge, time and space to Care for a Dog Like this
To protect people AND dogs against the idiots who are to blame for these terrible accidents and bans against breeds
@@Daaan09 Labradors were also around the top of the list of most attacks on humans caused by dogs
My Dogo is an Angel honestly. Yes he protects the house like he should but his super friendly with kids and adults. Of Course when he is with me. Luckily we trained him to be social with other dogs, literally his best friends are an English bulldog, Cane corso and Rottweiler.
I am originally from Uruguay neighbour of Argentina and I have seeing proper Dogos and also on action agains wile porks, and those fat dogs with not estruture or shape have nothing to do with the original ones. A proper dogo body looks like a XL pitbull on steroids.
Hes been banned because of his very dominant nature, unpredictable character and stubbornness.
Hes hard to control.
You give the law makers way too much credit, they're just pandering to public perception to look like they're doing something about "dangerous dogs". There's no actual logic in it.
Here in Portugal, they aren't banned, but heavily restricted when they were introduced a lot of accidents happen, they aren't for everyone I would say they belong to very responsible owners which are the minority of dog owners.
Raise him right he won't
Raise him right he won't
I have one neutered male and can say, that's bullshit! He goes every monday to dogschool for playtime and even the smallest dogs could dance on his nose, if they would like to. His social skills with other dogs are just super nice. Stubborn? Yes. But dominant and unpredictable? No! If any dog shows aggression or desinterest, he goes away and avoids trouble.
Such breeds are very sensible and humans can do lot of mistakes in training, if they have no clue of dog behaviour. I would highly recommend the visit of a good dog trainer or dog school. What to you seem as unpredictable, was said by the dog multiple times in his dog language before. When slight signals were ignored or false interpreted, the dog will say it more emphatic. That's the point where the dog seems suddenly, out of the blue, agressive or unpredictable. You can't judge the dog for human failure.
Please do your research before forming an opinion, otherwise please keep it to yourself!
Adopted a 14 month old Dogo today, he's a big sweetheart that has lived in a pound most of his life.
In 7 hours he's made himself at home and gets along very well with my female pocket bully.
Only thing I wasn't prepared for was his height!
Looking forward to hopefully over a decade with my new brother.
You can just see the loyalty on this dog.
Anneka thank you very much for sharing this very interesting video! I agree with you that this fantastic breed needs to be reintroduced in the UK. There are no bad dogs but bad owners!! This is a wonderful breed very intelligent and very powerful and therefore it needs owners who are able to understand these characteristics. Very compliments Anneka 👍👍👍👏👏👏🔥🥰
Beautiful dog. I love this dog. 😀
I own a DBB/Argentino mix and he's the sweetest and most easygoing dog I ever had. Loves everyone, dogs and people.
Thank you for this video. I love my dogo girl. She loves people and is the ultimate Velcro dog.
She is powerful and we take training very seriously. But she’s so sweet

CORRECTION NEEDED!
The Dogue de Bordeaux is not banned in the UK under the so-called Dangerous Dogs Act.
The Fila Brasiliera is in-fact the breed that has been banned alongside the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Dogo Argentino and the Japanese Tosa Inu.
Editor made a mistake
Why are you so angry??? 😂
*Fila Brasileiro*
I spelt it wrong.
An 'o' not an 'a'.
Apologies to the Brazilians.
This is a beautiful animal! When I was a kid, I used to collect books about dogs. I studied them. Especially the attack dogs. They were always the most fascinating!
My favorite pet was a Golden Retriever. He was truly special, and I've been thinking about him for over 40 years now.
This Dogo Argentino is impressive! I think that guard dogs make for the best form of security. In some cases, even better than a handgun! They will fight to the death to protect their beloved family.
This is a dog that will be a great companion and protector.
If I had a family to protect, this is the dog that I would want!
An Alpha male is always the best character trait to have.
Man can your story be any sadder. I walked into your comment happy stumbled out depressed
@@juanelcubano6713
Not sure why you're sad dude!
Maybe you are a beta male that hates people with guard dogs?!
Very nice Dog ❤️ Thankyou Anika for showing this beautiful Dog 🐶
I was waiting for this content 🥰
i have never seen a show line before. kinda crazy how different they look. i think i like the working line a bit more. i like the more athletic dogs
It’s funny but I’ve filmed a lot of show line versus working line in all dog breeds the show lines are always super stocky. The showline American Pitbull looked like an American bully 🤓
Love this episode 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Beautiful dogs ❤️ well presented video
Totally agree.. they shouldn't be banned !
In fact the only dog I agree with being banned is the Fila ! Very 1 man only breed ! ❤️
I have a 86kg Boerboels... banned in 20 country but he's a big softy x
Keep up the good contact ... maybe the Filo Brasilero next ?
I love this dog, in fact I love three of the dogs that are banned in the uk 🇬🇧. They are so loving, but you have to train them properly and have patience.
3:38 - the dogue de Bordeaux has never been banned in England?
Another comment said the same thing. Anekka said the editor made a mistake.
Great video I love the honest, fair and balanced videos ❤
Would love an updated video on BullMastiffs & Fila Brazilario 🔥 😁
A wonderfully majestic breed!💖
I don't think it would be wise to allow this breed to get into the hands of the general public. The general public are animals.
Many are rubbish, true
Love your channel ❤... It's all about Dog's🐶
thank you for standing by this beautiful dog I am an owner and live in Indiana United States and i love this breed
There Gorgeous amazing dogs With Good Owners they can be good pets. Its hard breaking when they end up bad owners 😭😭
They look horrible and are dangerous
Pleeease do an episode on the Beauceron! Most intense and incredible breed I've owned
I am fostering a dogo at the moment and thou he is a 8 week old , I am already started his training , and introducing him to many dogs , cats and people and encourage him to be gentle and not afraid
Once, when I was driving in my car, I saw was dogo being walked by his owners. I immediately pulled over and asked if I could pet him. Such a good boy.
The dogo shown in the thumbnail looks very overdone for an Argentino. The ones from their native country are leaner and more athletic looking.
As mentioned in the video, these are show dogs, not from a working line. The ones from working lines are not as broad, leaner, and more athletic.
Love them I would love to have one but have a corso at moment
Wow he's beautiful and so hugh anneka I think it's all in the way people treat these dogs that tells how their personality will be I love how you discribed this dog so interesting to learn about all these different dog breeds even though I'm more of a cat person thank you anneka for this great information
Thank you for a great informative video hopefully it will educate many people
Can't wait for part 2
🙌
These doggo may have been bread a certain way at the time but also have the best of all those breeds to make them one of the best dogs to own actually not as a unstable dog at all
Thanks to share this beatiful dog from my country. When i was a child i use to play with a Big dogo, Black, he was so cute and protective with us!.
Thank you from the depth of my heart in what you do for dogs given a bad rap. To teach us the right n wrong that has been done n undone to give us the education we need about the truth
I have a female Dogo pup. She will be 4 months in two weeks.
Did u get ears done or flop..they do look scary with ears cut which puts people on guard but for better protection dont it makes people really uncomfortable unsure so they think twice before they do anything.. my corso very protective of me and my son more so my son... and dogs teach each other my lab taught the corso about seizures alerts my 23 yr has its amazing but I cant risk in public because he might attack thinking is hurting him..it really strange gets over protecting during that than seeing a physical fight.. ps train verbal & hand signals.. the hand signals could save your life!
No I’m going to keep her ears down. Just my preference
@@livingthehartslife6538 me too!
@@jacquecastle3233
people get their dogo ears done
1. because it gives them that intimidating look
2. if their in a fight their ears wont be ripped off
One of my neighbors had one and never trained it. It was sad he never knew any better. Just left outside to guard the yard. Sadly every time the dog got out of its owners hands he would attack the nearest dog it could find. Eventually killing another dog and had to be put down :(
Is that more indicative of the dog or the owner?
@@sirmanni4534 both we clearly see in this video a well trained dogo still wants to attack other dogs!
I don’t know we had a Rottweiler on our street and it never hurt a soul even though it was trained to protect. He could be off leash and still stay where the owner told him too. The Dogo argentino (different owner) on the other hand killed a little dog that was not even a threat to his property or on his property.
@@dorthyalice Rottweilers are guard dogs, Dogo's are mainly hunters.
I currently own 2 Dogo's ( Male & a Female ). I HATE that the internet has turned these into murder dogs. I have had dogs my entire life ( 50 years ) and never ever had a pair of dogs that are more loving. Both of them lay on my chest every morning. I'll never own another breed.
Friend of mine has one of these in the uk, it was a rescue that his son picked up as a young dog (less than a year old mostly spend chained up on a balcony) but was quickly passed onto my friend because his sons flat was too small for such a large dog.
he loves to run so get walked with a quad bike a couple times a day to keep him calm, they also have a female pit (advertised as a mix but 100% not) bought as a puppy to socialise the male, she is an absolute angel and can run rings around the the dogo.
he was supposed to be an American bulldog according to the original owners (no doubt a deliberate lie) but as he grew it was evident that was not the breed as he was the wrong shape and temperament.
He is food aggressive and as mentioned not fond of other/new dogs or strangers on the property, on the few occasions he has escaped he has barked at workmen and strangers outside the house but he has not attacke.
He will bark at strangers at home but will reluctantly come when called to heel only occasionally needing to be physically removed to calm him down.
I dare say the potential is there to cause injury but Tbh I've known far more aggressive "safe" breeds.
He has bitten his sons girlfriend dog (they came to visit and let it off its lead before anyone knew they had it with them) and will bite the female pit and Jack Russell if there is food around not a full on bite but a nip to assert dominance, the pit although not aggressive will now that she is full grown defend herself which has actually calmed there male down around food.
He is very loving and playful but like in the video of he doesn't want to do something he can be very stubborn.
I love learning about various breeds on your show. But if a dog was created for the purpose of fighting I don’t see how you can have that as a house dog and say it’s friendly. It’s like training a wolf 🐺 not to howl at the moon. It’s just in them to behave a certain way
It can be bred back out of them over time. Unfortunately people still breed them and pits for illegal dog fights.
Presa canario has a very similar breeding history and bred to do the same work that the dogo Argentino does but they are not banned the law is not fit for purpose plus other breeds do the same work like the american bulldog, alapaha blue blood bulldog
The dogo argentino was not created to fight! Are you listen the video?
Is a "catch dog", a hunter dog but at the same time a guard and family dog.
In Argentina every child can control a DA, aparently the europeans don't have the temperament to do that....
So many comments from people who haven't owned one dogo let alone multiple ones from show lines and hunting lines. The lips on this male in video are too pendulous. This is not what Dr Martinez had in mind. Not original standard
They should not be winning any conformation titles why out of standard he said 55 kg that 120 lb that's say out of standard
Exactly, I thought I was the only one who noticed.
@@johnmay9088 my Dogo male weight 64kg,and Dogo is a mastiif breed so few kg more or less doesn't matter
@@SevenSharkyPresaCanarioKennel big heavy dogs is not what a dogo is. Yes some examples are bigger but in general breeders dont know what they doing anymore. Dr Martinez would be ashamed to call the current show dogs dogo.
@@mrsingh6597 pahhahahaha Dr. Antonio Norez Martines create this breed in year 1919-20, and you think the breed will stay the same for over a 100 years? Every breed has been changed not only a Dogo.
grazie ANNEKA , sei una vera professionista !
The happiest dog I've met with Didi (Jack Russell) was Billy (Pitbull). Just like guns in the wrong hands, they can be really chilled in the right hands. New sub here.
It doesn't help when owned by knobheads that like to see them being aggressive.
I beg u can u please do French mastiff
I don’t want my standard 64 pound Ausshole to like everyone. He’s my protector. He’s friendly with most people. But he stands guard and gives people the stink eye 👁 if they stalk me on walks or walk too close to me unless I say “it’s ok good boy” and that’s just how I like it for my safety and the safety of others. I don’t carry a gun because I’m afraid of them so it’s important for me to have a natural protector and I believe people should have dog curtesy and knowledge in schools, just like they have home economics. That will help greatly in educating the next generation so they won’t make the same mistakes as we have in the past. History has a sad way of repeating itself. Amazing video as usual. Huge fan from America xoxo
I have my third dogo argentino today, its for me a complete dog, useful for so many things. I live in an apartment, that works very well, but you cant be lazy, these dogs need exercise and work, both for the brain and body. I take my dog with me everywhere i go. They are also crazy loyal, and dont like to be left in others hands. No problems if you have other animals in your home, the dog learns early what is prey or not. But, this breed isent for the first-time dog owner, you have to know dogs first. They are smart and learn fast, even the bad things if you aren't careful.
Dogue de bordeaux isn't banned in uk. Fila brasileiro is.
