HISTORY OF THE DOGO ARGENTINO - Chapter 1: Argentina and the creator of the race (Beatriz Nores)
To understand the spirit of this breed and to understand what the creator of the Dogo Argentino tried to shape, it is first necessary to know something more about our beautiful country.

HEIGHT CONSIDERATIONS (Dr. José Luis Forlla)
A controversial subject, to have taken us a long way from Antonio’s instructions, by Agostino (those initial stories in the first publication in 1968 and not in the last book he wrote before he died) and of functional interest when awarding dogs that stand taller than the established standards.

VOYAGE AROUND THE MOLOSSER (Piero Scanziani)
A voyage started in childhood. Wrong child: parents already had divorce in their sights. Wrong puppy: it was not a Molosser, it was nothing, a mongrel, the type that remained little (they said), you only needed to give it a daily nip of brandy (they said). Perhaps they gave it to him, he certainly got ill. He was curled up in a corridor, distemper (they said), a pitch plaster on his side, smell of tar everywhere, black smell, black corridor, the little dog was black too, he stank of bitumen, weak whining, feverish shivering, he was dying.

BECERRILLO (THE SOLDIER DOG THAT PUT THE CONQUISTADORS TO SHAME) (Sam Stall)
The story of the Spanish conquest in South America is written in blood, above all the blood of the natives. Nations great and small fell into the hands of the Conquistadors, who routed numerically superior forces with prodigious resources they brought with them from Europe such as firearms, the cavalry and soldier dogs.
