6. Dogo Argentino

Average Price: $5,000*
Country of Origin: Argentina 

The Dogo Argentino is a big, strong dog that’s white in color. It was created in Argentina by a person named Antonio Nores Martinez. He wanted a dog that would be brave and protective while hunting large animals. The Dogo Argentino was particularly used for hunting wild pigs. Male dogs of this breed can weigh as much as 99 pounds, and they usually live for around 10 to 12 years.

In some places, like the entire UK and certain cities in the US including New York City and Aurora, Colorado, it’s not allowed to have a Dogo Argentino. These dogs need to learn how to be around other dogs and people from a young age. They might not be the best choice for families, but they can be great for individuals who want a protective companion.

In November of 2020, there was some good news for fans of the Dogo Argentino, which even made headlines on Fox and NBC. The American Kennel Club officially recognized the Dogo Argentino as the 195th breed to be added to its list. Even though the Dogo Argentino’s ancestor, the Fighting Dog of Cordoba, never received this recognition, the Dogo Argentino can still carry on its legacy.
