Dogo Argentino Puppies Blog

The most famous appearance of this breed was in the movie Bombón (El Perro). The story of this movie is simple, effective, humorous and gripping. The main character, Coco, is a skilled craftsmen, who tries to sell knives to oil workers, but nobody buys from him. Finally he decides to give two away for free. It is obvious that he is out of luck. He lives in a poorish apartment with his daughter and her kids. Otherwise, Coco is a good natured man and he helps a woman whose car broke down.

Somebody sees his courageous act and he is given a Dogo Argentino dog. Coco believes that the dog’s name is “Lechien” because it was written on his kennel, but this just means “the dog” in French. In the end he understand that actually the dog’s name is Bombón. Soon afterward his luck is unpredictably changed  for the better. They go through together crazy adventures and they end up winning the first prize at the local dog show.

In this film we can see that the Dogo Argentino is a very good protector of you or your home and is very intelligent and courageous.

Dogo Argentinos are not common family pets although experienced dog handlers can have a good grip on them. This breed is often trained for police assistance, search and rescue, and military work. Dogo Argentinos can go along with other dogs as long as they are properly socialized. They may not go along with other dominant dogs as Dogo Argentinos go by their own rules. And how can you post the ruler in a most creative way? It is thru Dogo Argentino Rules Matted Print.

Primarily bred from the extinct Cordoba Fighting Dog, Dogo Argentinos were bred to reduce certain aggressive traits which are inherent in the Cordoban Fighting Dog specifically the lack of ability to hunt cooperatively. Dogo Argentinos are bred as well for fighting, especially in countries where dog fighting remains culturally acceptable. Even blood sports have their rules, and so are this breed, and to be able to post these rules, use the matted print along with a picture or an image of your dog to give a little touch of humor into it.

All our dogs have the ability to break our hearts. Whether you share your life with a DOGO ARGENTINO a Labrador Retriever, the bond you form with your dog can be one of the closest and most powerful you will ever experience.

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.
