Developing a relationship with a trusted breeder is key. Even before a litter is born a potential buyer should already have done research and have extensive knowledge about the Dogo Argentino and the needs for raising a Dogo pupppy. With that information they can ask the Dogo Breeder questions and start developing a relationship or an understanding about the breeders program.

Asking for the price of a Dogo pup shouldn’t be the first question to ask a responsible Breeder. This first question automatically gives a responsible breeder a bad taste. There are more important first questions that should be asked such as temperament, health testing, lineage, information about the parents etc.

We see a veterinarian at birth if need, 3 weeks old, 6 weeks old and 9 weeks old routinely. Any other time as needed or when we have a concern. All puppies go home with a currently completed health certificate, BAER certificate, microchip, UTD on shots, dewormed, registered along with a medical record of everything ever given or done.

We socialize with people and children daily from birth. When old enough, the puppies follow us around the yard. After shots, they start taking day excursions with us. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Various Surfaces , Strangers, Structures, e.g. Climbing, Chew, e.g. Bone, Toys, e.g. Ball, Touch Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Grooming Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Socialized with Other Animals, Socialized with Adult Dogos, Socialized with Children, Human Interactions , "No" Biting or Chewing.

Brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) testing is an electro-diagnostic test used to evaluate the hearing of dogs, cats and other domestic animals. It evaluates the components of the external ear canal, middle/inner ear cavities, cranial nerve and selected areas of the brainstem. It doesn’t matter if both grandparents and parents had full hearing, any pairing can still throw a unilateral ( one good ear and the other bad ) or a deaf hearing puppy. A Dogo can have full hearing and still carry the gene which in turn can lead to throwing a unilateral or deaf pup. This is why its important to have your Dogo tested by an unbiased Vet that can provide a BAER test certification that matches the pups microchip. The BAER test doesn’t tell you if the Dogo is a carrier of the gene, but it atleast gives you a better understanding the how the Dogo pup hears. They BAER test on a puppy can be done by 6 weeks of age.

Short answer is Yes! More so mid sized pups up to adult Dogos tend to shed. Dogos are not  Hypoallergenic dogs ( non shedding ). Please make sure and understand that you might be littered with Dogo glitter if you get one, we do not want a pup to loose its home because of an issue this might cause. Some Dogos shed more or less then others.
