[edit] partial copyvio?

The Appearance section seems to be taken verbatim from [1] but the rest of the new article is modified or is from elsewhere, so I'm hesitant to copyvio the whole thing. Elf | Talk 03:17, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Argentine Dogo

Moving to this alternative breed name based on list of dog breeds, which was previously researched in most cases to find the most commonly used name in English kennel clubs and web sites. Elf | Talk 03:19, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I know the dog is better known as Dogo Argentino, I see someone changed it in the article but having a page name Argentine Dogo and using Doge Argentino as the default name is wrong to me. We should change the page name or stick with Argentine Dogo.ShotokanTuning 07:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bias?

Article seems a little bit biased to how wonderful the Argentine Dogo is. It's actually an evil bastard of a dog, but I'll try and get the POV somewhere in the middle of that. Proto t c 13:06, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

I've never known any of the breed, so I have no input, and even if I had known a couple, that probably wouldn't be enough to give me an NPOV. So if you can manage it, do it-- Elf | Talk 20:51, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Saying it's "an evil bastard of a dog" is more bias to me? ShotokanTuning 07:44, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

"Evil bastard of a dog"? Not hardly. You've either never met a Dogo in the fur, or have met only badly-bred Dogos. Though the Dogo is not a dog for a first-time owner because of its size and stubbornness, a dog-savvy owner will find it to be a wonderful companion - steady, even temperament, loyal and loving, intuitive and perceptive, easy-going when not working, and both fierce and tenacious when "on the job", hunting. My female is a certified therapy dog, doing pet-assisted therapy visits in nursing homes, hospitals, and assisted living facilities. She is especially good with Alzheimer's patients, whose loud voices, sudden movements, and occasional grabbing-and-hugging would intimidate a softer dog. My male pup, though still too young to take the certification test, is going to be an awesome therapy dog too, he's already got all the right instincts. He also just began training to be a Search and Recovery dog.

Hunter, therapy dog, family companion and protector, SAR, agility, obedience, tracking - there's nothing this dog can't do. SnowyDogz 20:35, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photography

I've added two photos of my eight month old female puppy. I will try to get more nose to tail shots later! --vex5 06:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

Breeders and kennels sites aren´t usefull for the Wikipedia, they have commercial activites and have anothers channels to promote their sites and business. Add only informative and quality content sites about Argentine Dogo. --Lulubel 14:52, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mr Victor12

Sr Victor12, me gustaria saber en que se basa o cual es su criterio en quitar los enlaces externos que puse a la comunidad mas importante en lo que al dogo argentino se refiere. Todas la noticias, campeonatos, leyes, reformas, historia, grandes campeones, pasan por ese sitio. Me atreveria a decir que es el sitio mas importante a nivel mundial donde se nuclean fanaticos del dogo argentino.

It would please me to know on that she is based to clear links external that I place the important community but referred dogo Argentine.

Hello, could you specify which site are you referring to? As for guidelines for external links, you should check out WP:EL. One more thing, if you can, try to use English on talk pages per Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines, so that the whole community can understand what you're saying. Greetings, --Victor12 19:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


Hello, excuses by my language, I use a translator He is graceful that is not allowed me to include to the great community but at related world-wide level dogo Argentine. Perhaps you do not know it, but this insurance that www.dogoargento.com.ar is the site at world-wide but excellent level in which to dogo Argentine it talks about. All the important information but happens that way.

I am based on the point 4º that says the following thing: Sites with to other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such ace reviews and interviews.

Thank you very much —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.250.167.254 (talk) 20:24, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that www.dogoargento.com.ar is a forum and links to such sites are generally discouraged in Wikipedia. For instance Wikipedia:WikiProject Dog breeds says about external links that
Links to web sites that expand on the encyclopedic info provided by wikipedia. Generally excluded are local breed clubs (too many hundreds to try to maintain the links), commercial sites (where the ads or intent to sell something are blatant), forums and blogs (not particularly encyclopedic).
Also WP:EL lists among external links to be avoided the following:
Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums or USENET.
Hope that info is helpful. --Victor12 20:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Victor12, We have added the Social Website www.dogoargentino.com.uy from Uruguay, becouse is a Social Site that join all clubs and Expo , Hunting peoples about the Dogo Argentine, please re-add this site, is not a commercial site, not a forum, not a blog.

Thanks in advanced. H.D. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogopasion (talk • contribs) 21:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links):
Since this is the English Wikipedia, webpages in English are highly preferred. Linking to non-English pages may still be useful for readers in some cases:
  • when the website is the subject of the article
  • when linking to pages with maps, diagrams, photos, tables; explain the key terms with the link, so that people who do not know the language can still interpret them
  • when the webpage contains key or authoritative information found on no English-language site and is used as a citation (or when translations on English-language sites are not authoritative)
As www.dogoargentino.com.uy is a non-English site it has too meet one of the above requirements to be included. I don't think it does. --Victor12 21:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

"legally" Are these brilliant hunting dogs allowed into australia without question?
