Product Description

Dedicated to the powerful Dogo Argentino, this is the only book of its kind on this remarkable Argentine superdog. Given the limited amount of accurate information available on this breed, this much needed book offers owners and potential owners of the Dogo Argentino specific instructions on the rearing, caring for and training of the breed. The Dogo was bred to be fearless, powerful and massive, and today’s Dogo naturally demands an owner who is properly informed and prepared to handle it.

Written by author Joseph Janish, this Special Limited Edition provides chapters on the true history of the breed, its original purposes, breed characteristics and the official Argentine standard, as well as puppy acquisition, training, health care and behavior modification. In addition to an extremely authoritative text, this book features over 135 photographs in full color that are as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Dogo Argentino from puppyhood to the senior years.
