GAO Kennel was established in Toronto canada in 2005, relocated to Beijing China in 2009. We are dedicated to preserving the working heritage of the Dogo Argentino.

OUR VISION & BREEDING PHILOSOPHY:

A combination of hunting dog, guard/protection dog, and family companion dog, the Dogo Argentino is a true working breed. A good Dogo Argentino not only has to be fearless and capabale in big-game hunting, but also has to be stable, loving and loyal to its family. Therefore, a good Dogo Argentino not only has to have the look that meets the breed standard, but also has to have correct temperament, strong nerve, and certain level of working capabilities.

Here at GAO Kennel we have a philosophy within our Dogo Argentino breeding are the dogs’ courage, tenacity, drive, intelligence, confidence, strength, speed, stamina, hardiness, nose, health, type, conformation, stability, and trainability are important aspects, we take the whole package into consideration when breeding.

OUR TRAINING:

Obedience, protection, hunting, therapy.

APTITUDE/TEMPERAMENT TESTING:

Base on the experience we have with this breed and other working breeds, throught years of training and working, we designed a series of tests specifically for our Dogo Argentino puppies and adults. These tests help us evaluating every puppy and adult more accurately, like what it lacks of, what it has to offer, who to breed and breed with who, etc.

HEALTH SCREENING:

GAO Kennel was the first Dogo Argentino kennel in Canada demand all breeding stock BAER tested and certified free of deafness, OVC and/or OFA certified free of dysplasia.

We purchased a BAER evaluation system in 2009, to continue the hearing test in China. We will continue to work with OFA to have all our breeding stock certified before breed them.
