| Argentinean Dogos/Dogo Argentino |
| It looks very much like a Pit Bull or an AST, but it is a whole other breed. It's always white (sometimes with dark spots on the skin). This breed isn't very popular in the US however. It has a strong, square head, and powerful body and jaws. It is notorious for its aggressive(toward other animals), fearless nature, but can nevertheless be trustworthy with people and exceptionally loyal to it's master. |
| ~Bulldog Type Breeds~ |
 |
| The Pit Bull has a broad, slab-like head and strong jaws(NOT "locking" as some believe) and is wide between the cheeks. Its neck and body is thickly muscled and the dog has a very broad chest. This breed was bred specifically for dog fighing. This "sport" is illegal today. The breed can however be a very loyal, friendly, and gentle family pet. It can also be used for herding, therapy, and weight pulling. The word Pit Bull refers to many bully breeds such as AST's(above), Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Bull Terriers, etc. |
