Title: Dogo is not Spanish Post by: dub on February 19, 2011, 03:37:41 pm I absolutely love Dogos. But the name has puzzled me. After all the names are all Spanish. Dogo Argentino seemed half gringo to me. But when researching the cesa dog I found the term Molosser as a type of dog with the proper noun of Mastiff. Also known as Mastin, Dogge, Doggue, or Dogo.
But Dogo is Roman not Spanish. It simply means Mastiff. Kind of cool. What it really means is my dog is cooler than your dog ;D Even my other dogs are jealous now ;D Title: Re: Dogo is not Spanish Post by: Hog_Hunter_57 on February 19, 2011, 05:36:21 pm Welcome to the mastiff club then.

A lot of the languages and words are very similar. Know your Dogo can be even cooler! ;D |
