Claim this spotDogo Argentino stud fees usually run from $1,000 to $3,000. A health-tested male with no proven litters often asks $1,000 to $1,500. However, champions and proven hunting or show sires can ask $2,000 to $3,500.
These are market estimates, since fees are private. The breed is still uncommon in the United States, so good sires are often far apart. The stud fee guide explains contracts and return services.

Deafness is the breed's best-known problem. Roughly one Dogo in ten is deaf in one or both ears, because the gene for a white coat also affects the inner ear. A BAER test measures each ear separately. Therefore, look for a stud who hears in both ears. Registered results are public on the OFA website.
See our health testing guides for how each test works.
First, read the BAER report. A dog that hears in one ear lives a normal life, yet he is more likely to sire deaf puppies. So bilateral hearing is the standard to ask for.
Next, look at structure and skin. A good Dogo is muscular and balanced, with a short white coat. The standard allows one dark patch near the eye. In addition, ask about skin allergies and sun sensitivity, which are common in white dogs.
Finally, judge temperament with care. The breed should be steady and friendly with people, even though it is bold in the field. A nervous or sharp dog of this strength is a serious fault.
Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez created the breed in Argentina in the 1920s, crossing the old Cordoba fighting dog with mastiffs, pointers and other breeds. He wanted a hunter that could hold wild boar and puma. The AKC gave the breed full recognition in 2020.
At home, the Dogo is affectionate and protective. However, it is strong, driven and needs an experienced owner. Some countries and cities also restrict the breed. As a result, check local laws before you plan a litter.
Dogos usually breed naturally. However, the breed is thinly spread, so chilled semen is common, and frozen semen is used to bring in lines from South America and Europe. Each profile lists the methods on offer.
