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. It is usually white and very rarely has any sort of markings.

The Dogo Argentino was derived from the Cordoba Fighting Dog in the 1920s. In comparison, it has a much better temperament than the latter and is not inherently aggressive towards its owner. The breed is, however, still known for its unsteady temperament, leading to ownership of it being banned or restricted in several countries.
