in other words, can this dog breed, which was produced 100 years ago,
beat a wild predator whose weight reached 100 kilos?
We will see this at the end of the video.
The Dogo Argentino is a large, powerful, energetic, and athletic dog breed
that was bred to hunt wild boar, cougar and other big game.
The Dogo Argentino has a strong instinct to protect his home and his family.
So they can be very aggressive towards strangers.
Cougars are very aggressive big cats and can be dangerous to humans and dogs.
Pumas are the most elusive and aggressive of the world's large cats but they usually are afraid of people.
Despite being an excellent watchdog and fearless hunter
the Dogo Argentino is a friendly and cheerful breed that is an excellent companion.
Hunting Skills
Mountain lions have evolved over millions of years to become the perfect predator.
Of course mountain lions have much more advanced hunting abilities than dog breeds.
but it should not be forgotten that the dogo argentino was bred to hunt wild and vigorous animals
such as the puma in 1920.
Cougars typically hunt between dusk and dawn.
These cats don't chase their prey, but stealthily stalk and ambush it,
commonly leaping onto their prey's back and lethally biting it in the neck.
The jaws of the dogo argentino are so strong, the prey it bites cannot escape from it.
Bite Force
The Dogo is known for his fearless nature and won't back down even when facing a mortal threat.
A dog with a bite force of 500 PSI,
the Dogo Argentino does not possess the strongest bite
but is still capable of inflicting great damage with a single chomp.
A puma or a cougar is not only one of the fastest animals in the world, but it also has a really strong bite.
With a 350 PSI bite strength, cougars can use their powerful jaws and long teeth to kill through their prey
and they can even crash skulls and spines thanks to their powerful jaws
Dogo argentino have a strong bite that will keep the prey caught until the hunters arrived.
Even the strongest prey can't escape a dogo bite.
Intelligence
Strong-willed and independent, but also highly intelligent,
the Dogo Argentino will respect an owner who is equally confident and consistent.
Cougars are one of the most adaptable big cats in their habitat.
They're highly intelligent and elusive animals who primarily eat deer and usually avoid humans.
A cougar has not evolved enough to be trainable but except for instincts,
we can say that a dogo argentino is much smarter than puma.
The best Dogo Argentinos are versatile working dogs,
capable of learning a great deal but they have an independent mind of their own.
Athletic
The Dogo Argentino, sometimes called the Argentinian Mastiff or the Argentine Dogo,
is a strong, athletic, and loyal breed.
They can be both fierce hunters and gentle protectors of their humans.
Exercising is another very important factor that has to be brought into training a Dogo Argentino.
This breed requires a lot of physical activity to keep fit.
If they aren't allowed the same, they will start getting restless and aggressive.
The puma can swim and climb trees when needed, often taking refuge in trees when pursued by dogs.
Pumas are incredibly powerful predators with muscular hind legs.
They can jump incredible distances.
Agility and Speed
Dogo argentino and puma have extremely strong reflexes. They act in less than half a second.
Dogo's movement is agile and quick, and he is always aware of what is going on around him.
When the Dogo's interest is aroused, his reactions become very rapid, and his attitude change is very obvious.
Cougars are able to leap as high as 18 feet into the air and as far as 45 feet horizontally.
If we look at the speed of these two animals, we can get better results.
A cougar can run 80 km per hour but a dogo can only run 50 km per hour.
Also cougar is two times heavier than the dogo argentino
We'll talk about this in the next section.
Muscularity
The Dogo Argentino dogs are generally strong and sturdy and endowed with a muscular dog structure.
They have an innate quality to fight with larger animals and even kill them.
But they are loyal to its master and his family.
In general the muscle density of these 2 animals is similar.
Most of their bodies are created of strong muscles.
The weight of an adult male dogo reaches up to 45 kg
but a fully grown male cougar can easily reach twice the weight of the dogo. It's about 100 kg.
In this case, we can say that the cougar has 2 times more muscle, but the muscle density is similar.
When viewed from the outside, the muscles of both animals are clearly visible.
You can see that dogo argentino pulls trucks easily. Imagine how strong a puma is.
Stamina
Dogo argentino doesn't feel any pain in his body during the attack.
it focuses only on its prey and becomes numb to all pain.
A cougar releases its prey when it realizes that it will fail in its hunt or receives a big blow.
But no matter what happens a Dogo Argentino doesn't leave its prey
The Dogo Argentino is a loyal breed with a tendency to be highly territorial, making them excellent watchdogs.
It is one of the best dog breeds in this regard.
The cougar is an incredibly powerful cat, the master of the most insidious and successful hunts.
I'm waiting for your comments.
