I am a little upset to find out that one of my relatives has just brought a Dogo Argentino pup, not cause i view them as a danger, but cause they are illgal...
does anyone know why this breed is banned also the Tosa?

Dogo's are a very hard breed to keep very powerful with very strong protective instincts and can be aggressive in the wrong hands. They really need a very experienced firm owner not cruel but they can't be allowed to get away with any bad behaviour. I'd assume this is why they're banned. Tosas I don't know why they were banned because as far as I know they were bred to be wrestlers not fighters and dog aggression was actively discouraged I could be wrong though.

to behonest i think its the same as the pit bull, the dogs were misused by idiots and then banned. gets me really angry, doesnt take long to breed in/out any traits so its not as if any problems with the breed cant be sorted out, its just because a few stupid humans think its clever to breed them badly and then misuse them, spoils it for the rest of us!!!
i bet it will be a really nice dog too.

because this type of dog is classed as danger to the public under the DDA

im sure i had read that the Dogo Argentino and tosa werent even in the UK when they were banned....
ppl miss use staffs, rotti, and DDB and they not banned... its sad how ppl can spoil a breed

It makes me quite angry.
So many staffies around at the moment because they are the in thing for young people to have to try and fight other people. What the f**k.
I had words with one staff owner the other week in a park.

I think it was the Dogo and Filia that weren't in the country. In the right hands I sure these are great dogs but even people that love the breed say they're not easy to own. I would love a pitbull though stupid NZ has the same rules as the UK I've just have to content myself with a staffie instead.

how can you be sure its a dogo? have you got any pics?

i read that they were not even in the country when the DDA was made
