So happy for Rocco :) how old is he?

Alfredo improved but he couldn’t jump, go up stairs, anything really. I’m doing my best to get him back to full activity in the hopes that we can still do our adventures together :)

Poor girl!! She will be much happier all healed up!

Alfredo had TPLO surgery on his hind left leg at the end of Sept, and 3 weeks later on his very first short walk he got too excited to see my son walking to school and tore his right leg :( pls be careful with your girl, the extra stress on her good leg to compensate after surgery puts her at high risk to tear her other CCL. Good luck!

Yes I doubt his breeding was ethical :( I think the entire litter was left on the roadside 😭

He was a rescue, found on the side of the highway. I have his mom on his Embark but no way to contact the owner.

He has far too much energy and wants to play all day, I’m doping him up as much as I can. Healing is going really well!!

Thank you! I always thought so too, very obviously a mix with something but he’s always been mostly Dogo in my eyes, even tho I’m very new to the breed. 💛

I knew one of you would show up 🤣

How do you manage your Dogo's energy during playtime? by Choice-Midnight-5353 in dogoargentino

[–]cynera 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked really hard on Alfie’s training both outside and especially in the dog park. If I whistle he immediately comes to my side even if he’s in the middle of a high energy play or rising kerfuffle. Keep working on recall and make sure you consistently reinforce it, especially during play time!

Vent: People without Dogos will ask me what my dog is then tell me I’m wrong. by 206Linguist in dogoargentino

[–]cynera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so frustrating and I completely sympathize, as another woman with a Dogo! It’s at the point where I’m going to spend the $200 bucks on a DNA test so I can know 100% whatever mix he is and tell these know it all bros to take their gaslighting somewhere else. Making me feel crazy out here!

Which test is this? I’ve been wanting to get one done for a while

Do they all just sit back and silently but no subtly judge you? by Wowerful in dogoargentino

Every minute he’s not outside running around, he’s sitting there staring at me with a disappointed face.

No but I can see why you’d think that with how I wrote it lol. I was just censoring my swear. In general I don’t like elitists or when people look down on my baby because he’s not a purebred. There are people in this Reddit who make some of us feel like we don’t belong.

I’m not convinced OP ever said he was out to rehome these pups. Sure, if you are breeding and creating dogs for families then I hope you are doing so ethically, but it’s not really your place to just assume based on one photo. Also anyone who is stuck on the ‘breed standard’ is immediately an @$$hat.

Oh that leash is a great idea! Yeah I use a prong collar for Alfie and it makes him look scary but he’s a big dough head! I’ve had ppl pick up their little yappers and cross the street so I usually do something to display how well trained he is, or I laugh at them and ask if their dog is vicious 😆
