One of the most Majestic Breeds of Dog within our circle of Ocean Omega friends and clients , is the Dogo.
I have had the privilege and honor of knowing the breed and providing our Ocean Omega fish oil to the proprietor and "ALFA" of Howling Acres Argentine Dogos. Here is more about this facinating breed submitted by Barbara.

El Dogo Argentino:by Barbara Sanders

I own and operate Howling Acres a small hobby kennel in the mountains of
Virginia. I have been involved with the Dogo Argentino race of dog for
about 20 years. I have spent much of that time working on ancestry of
the breed and the variations in different lines that have developed since
the breed originated. I have spent all of that time exclusively dedicated to
the preservation of what I have found to be a most incredible creature. A
dog created in Argentina in one lifetime by two brothers who had a dream and followed their path.

I have shown my dogs and captured many Championships with one of the
most outstanding dogs of all time. I have trained in agility, obedience and
search and rescue and have found that the limitations of this race of dog
just do not exist. I have studied dog behavior and I have found that all
I have learned is not in the many books I have read but in the dog itself.
I am well taught by a species that does not speak in my language, but in
the universal language of nature, it is loud and clear.

This is a created breed comprised of 10 breeds that were blended
together to make the ultimate hunting dog. A designer dog so to speak. It seems that the best qualities of the 10 breeds emerged and blossomed into one of the finest and most intelligent dogs ever. While this dog is the ultimate
hunter, much like a Cheetah, it is also a great athlete, a loyal companion,
a family protector, beautiful to behold.

When one deals with a dog of pure intelligence it takes time to learn to
listen. It is a human trait to want to talk but the key to understanding
is in listening. A dog will never take it eyes off you. It is summing you
up by watching your body language. This is the key to making contact with
a canine and creating a medium of mutual understanding. Every move of
human and dog has meaning. Dogs are not mind readers and so know when we are feeling sad. We carry ourselves in a different manner when that or any
condition exists and the dogs perceive the difference and relate it to
our other behaviors. Body language.

Dogs are migratory animals in that each day is a new day. Dogs live in
the moment and, while they do have memories they use as tools to
differentiate between conditions, they do not live in the past nor the future.They
feel no guilt, a human trait. They are not jealous, human trait. They do not
miss you when you leave for a time, they have no concept of time. They sleep
until you return. While they appear to be happy to see us all things
being equal they relax as their world has order.

We do not "train" our dogs but if we are diligent we communicate our
desires and the do responds. Dogs have many behaviors that may at times seem strange to us but there is a reason for everything they do. It is up to
us to understand and work within that parameter. Dogs are not vicious,
mean or violent. Again human traits that we place on our dogs. It is not our
duty to change a dog but to work with the qualities that a particular dog has
and find common ground.
