Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Mac – A Loyal Guardian Looking for the Right Home
Mac is a 6-month-old Dogo Argentino with a big heart and an even bigger future. He currently weighs 65 pounds and is expected to grow to at least 100 pounds, potentially reaching 140 pounds at maturity.
The Dogo Argentino is a powerful, purpose-bred working dog developed from the Córdoba Fighting Dog, Great Dane, Spanish Mastiff, Pyrenean Mastiff, and Dogue de Bordeaux. This is not a breed for first-time dog owners. Dogos were bred to protect humans and hunt wild boar, and they require confident, experienced handling.
Mac is seeking an adult-only home with proven experience in protection or guardian breeds, such as Mastiffs, Boerboels, Cane Corsos, or similar.
Despite their strength, Dogos are known for being:
• Extremely loyal
• Loving and people-oriented
• Intelligent and stubborn
• High prey drive
Mac is currently at a critical developmental stage and will need a handler who provides clear structure, strict boundaries, and consistency. For this reason, Mac must be enrolled in a structured training program prior to adoption.
What Mac Already Knows:
• Crate trained
• Housebroken
• Living successfully with 7 other dogs
• Foster is actively working on:
• Basket muzzle training
• Leash walking
• Basic obedience (place, sit, stay)
Mac is not particularly food motivated and is currently being hand-fed to help build engagement and motivation during training. His adopter must be willing to continue this work and invest time into his development.
While Mac is currently social with other dogs, it is a breed trait for Dogos to sometimes become dog-selective as they mature. If placed with another dog, he would do best with a female companion.
Mac is an incredible dog who will thrive with the right experienced home—one that understands the responsibility and reward of owning a powerful guardian breed.
