are these dogo argentino puppies?

[mrzllewellyn22]

I know they wouldn't be show quality but are they or are they mixed? And how can you tell?

Dear mrzllewellyn22,

Those puppies do not look like Dogos, the eyes like the lips and nose should have black pigmentation and be almond shaped and of medium size, their nose is not fully pigmented black so it seems they are mix.

Their coat should be All-white; can have a single dark spot on the skull. A patch of black on one ear or eye is permissible. In the show ring the whiter dog would win if there were two specimens equal in all other ways. So to clarify only one black or dark-coloured patch on the skull, that can only be located on one ear or around one eye. The size of the spot must be in proportion to the size of the head, not exceeding 10% of the latter. Comparing two dogs of equal quality, the whiter should be preferred.

The body and not the coat!! can have small spots of colour which are allowed. These spots are more visible during summer as when they shed their coat the spots on the skin become more visible. The thickness of the coat can vary according the climate the Dogo lives in. Due to this despite the white coats Dogos can sometimes have black pigmented skin!!! and this is acceptable.

Below is a link of a puppy pure breed for your reference:

Yeah they have ticking on the skin I have seen pure breed dogos with black spotted noses like mine and they have black on lips and eyes spotted like nose and I have seen that also they have no spots on body just head and ears thank you for info I know they aren't show quality just want to know for temperment thanks

They look Dogo to me, would be interesting to see them in a few months.
The info mentioned above, is what use old schoolers bred for and stick to. It is hard to nowadays.
Many Dogos produced today are not the quality of years gone by. I can pick out
a pup/dog from my breeder that was produced 15 yrs ago or 6 months ago, they all look the
same. I personally would not purchase a pup of that age with out it having a black nose by this age or
with the eyes not being fully almond shape.
Where did pups come from? do you have pics of parents? What bloodlines?

 

[mrzllewellyn22]

Do they have a dna test that will tell me if they are dogo argentino?

 

[dogo argentino]

I would bet those are mostly Dogo. Dna test are not reliable, people have sent the same blood test and have got two different results a lot. My Dogo has little black specks all over that you only see when he is wet.

Here is another one of their sisters if that helps at all

Well my feedback was not based on show quality, to answer your question more directly no they do not look 100% Dogo but can they have Dogo in them? yes now what they are mixed will also influence their temperament.

You won't know what to expect until they mature, a Dogo only fully develops their temperament at around 2 years, my pup is going through changes still and this changes are more related to his character then anything else (More dominant, less playfull,more mood swings lol)
