sandgrubber Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Even if the Biewer is moving toward becoming a registered breed, I'd say it's the sort of new breed the dog world doesn't need. Looks like it will have a very narrow gene pool, and like its distinguishing feature is 'looks'. The only 'need' it will satisfy is the need for novelty. Btw, I hope those of you who are against X breeding are as anti for the Dogo Argentino as for the Labradoodle, or whatever it will eventually be called. Now there's a real mutt for you. The insistence on whiteness results in high frequency of deafness. clipping from wikipedia . . . The Dogo Argentino (also known as the Argentine Dogo) is a large, white, muscular dog that was developed in Argentina primarily for the purpose of big-game hunting, including wild boar and puma; the breeder, Antonio Nores Martinez, also wanted a dog that would exhibit steadfast bravery and willingly protect its human companion to the death. It was first bred in the 1928, from the Cordoba Fighting Dog along with a wide array of other breeds including, but not limited to, the Great Pyrenees, Irish Wolfhound, Boxer, Great Dane, and Pointer.

Merci Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 So you guys seen this yet then? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/more-news/a-little-monkey-business-at-the-lodge/story-fn7x8me2-1226148467277 I am very disappointed and upset by this. Obviously not even from someone actively trying to breed them as it is a first cross. And from the look of their website the dogs are kept outside on dirt in runs their whole life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toy*dog Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 the rotten editors of that article or whoever is manning the comments didn't print any of my comments. they are selecting which ones get printed. so julia is being shielded and there is no way to get to her to tell her the real story. her advisors !!!! i can't believe that tim would have done the research himself he would have had help from someone.

Merci Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 The pictures I was referring to of the runs had concrete in the kennel but the outside part looked like dirt. Toy*dog, I am pretty sure that Julia will find out one way or another. It is getting spammed around fb and there are some very strong opinions going on. I still cant believe that someone would pay that much for that puppy. but I guess if you didn't know better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
