To Clip or Not to Clip
The show standards for a Dogo Argentino require the dog’s ears to be cropped according to the size of his/ her head. Since the purpose of their breed was originally to hunt wild board, floppy ears would be considered a hindrance. Being easy for prey to grab and rip, they are usually cropped in the shape of a triangle.
Since the Canadian Dog Association does not yet recognize the breed, we are not able to have our dog participate dog shows. This doesn’t concern us, however, as we love our Dogo’s unclipped ears which add character to her face.
This standard, as well as others, were set by Antonio Nores Martina in 1947 and still hold true today.
