Moderador: mcerqueira
Qual o sentido disso...FBC Escreveu:O cumulo são cães de caça (por exemplo) que são campeões de exposições e que não servem para caçar ( não só por falta de instinto mas também porque a morfologia não o permite).
Com os Dogos por vezes passa-se a mesma coisa: é comum os Dogos de exposiçaõ pesarem mais de 50kg, quando um bom cão de presa (para caça) nunca deve passar dos 45kg.
Se calhar podemos retirar do estalão o q foquei a negrito não?! ...FCI-Standard N° 292 / 29. 01. 1999/ GB
DOGO ARGENTINO
TRANSLATION : Club del Dogo Argentino « Dr Antonio Nores Martinez », Federación Cinológica Argentina and Mrs R. Binder.
ORIGIN : Argentina.
DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL VALID STANDARD : 29.01.1999.
UTILIZATION : Big-game hunting dog.
CLASSIFICATION F.C.I. : Group 2 Schnauzer and Pinscher, Molossians and Swiss Mountain- and Cattledogs.
Section 2.1 Molossian type, Mastiff type.
Without working trial.
BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : This breed has its origin in the province of Cordoba, in the central (Mediterranean) region of the Republic of Argentina.
Its creator was Dr. Antonio Nores Martinez, a (renowned) doctor and member of a traditional local family. In 1928, his passion for dogs, perhaps a family legacy, led him to set the bases and a standard for a new dog breed which he named : Dogo Argentino. His work was based upon the methodical crossbreeding of several pure breeds with the « old fighting dog from Cordoba », a dog which was very strong and vigorous but lacked psychic and genetic stability. This local breed had been the product of the crossbreeding among Mastiffs, Bulldogs and Bull Terriers and was widely known and appreciated by fervent dog-fight fans, a very popular activity at the time which embraced all social classes.
After a thorough and minute character study and selection, through different generations, Dr. Nores Martinez accomplished his purpose, obtaining the first « family ». At the beginning it was generally considered a dog for fighting but Dr. Nores Martinez’s liking for hunting led him to take the dog to one of his habitual hunting trips, where the new breed demonstrated its skills, thus becoming a key figure in all his trips. Thus it became quickly an excellent « big-game hunting dog ».
With the passing of time, this adaptating capacity has made this dog very versatile as regards functions; it has proved to be a noble companion and a loyal and insurmountable protector of those it loves. Its strength, tenacity, sharp sense of smell and bravery make it the best dog among those used for hunting wild boars, peccaries, pumas and other country predators which can be found in the vast and heterogeneous areas of the Argentinean territory. Its harmony, balance and its excellent athletic muscles are ideal characteristics for enduring long trips in any weather conditions and then fighting fiercely with the pursued prey.
On May 21st 1964, this breed was acknowledged by the Federación Cinológica Argentina and by the Argentinean Rural Society, which opened their studbook to initiate registry.
It was not until July 31st 1973 that the breed was accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as the first and only Argentinean breed, thanks to the great passion, work and effort of Dr. Augustin Nores Martinez, its creator’s brother and successor.
GENERAL APPEARANCE : Molossian normal type, mesomorphic and macrothalic, within the desirable proportions without gigantic dimensions. Its aspect is harmonic and vigorous due to its powerful muscles which stand out under the consistent and elastic skin adhered to the body through a not very lax subcutaneous tissue. It walks quietly but firmly, showing its intelligence and quick responsiveness and revealing by means of his movement his permanent happy natural disposition. Of a kind and loving nature, of a striking whiteness, its physical virtues turn it into a real athlete.
IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS : As a mesomorphic animal, no part stands out from the whole body which is harmonic and balanced. Mesocephalic, its muzzle should be as long as its skull.
The height at the withers is equal to the height at the croup.
The depth of the thorax equals 50% of the height at the withers.
The length of the body exceeds the height at the withers by 10%.
BEHAVIOUR AND TEMPERAMENT : It is cheerful, frank, humble, friendly, and not a hard barker, always conscious of its power. It should never be aggressive, a trait that should be severely observed. Its domineering attitude makes it continuously compete for territory with specimens of the same sex, most noticeable behaviour in males. As a hunter, it is smart, silent, courageous and brave.
HEAD : Of mesocephalic type, it looks strong and powerful, without abrupt angles or distinct chiselling. Its profile shows an upper line which is concave - convex : convex at the skull because of the prominence of its masticatory muscles and its nape; and slightly concave at the foreface. The head joins the neck forming a strong muscular arch.
CRANIAL REGION :
Skull : Compact, convex in the front to back and transverse direction. Its zygomatic arches are far apart from the skull, forming a large temporal cavity which enables the large development of the temporal muscle. Its occipital bone is not very prominent due to the strong muscles of the nape. The central depression of the skull is slightly noticeable.
Stop : Slightly defined, as a transition from the convex skull region to the slightly concave foreface. From the side, it shows a definite profile due to the prominence of the superciliary ridges.
FACIAL REGION : As long as the skull.
Nose : Ample nostrils. Black pigmentation. It is slightly elevated forwards, finishing off the concave profile of the muzzle. From the side, the front line is perpendicular and straight, coinciding with the maxillary edge or slightly projected forward.
Muzzle : Strong, a bit longer than deep, well developed in width, with sides slightly converging. The upper line is slightly concave, an almost exclusive trait of the Argentinean Dogo.
Lips : Moderately thick, short and tight. With free edges, preferably with black pigmentation.
Jaws/Teeth : Jaws strong and well adapted; no under-or overshot mouth. The jaws should be slightly and homogeneously convergent. They ensure maximum bite capacity. Teeth big, well developed, firmly implanted in line, looking clean without caries. A complete dentition is recommended, priority being given to the homogeneous dental arches. Pincer bite, though scissor bite is accepted.
Cheeks : Large and relatively flat, free from folds, bulges or chiselling, covered by strong skin.
Eyes : Dark or hazel coloured, protected by lids preferably with black pigmentation though the lack of pigmentation is not considered a fault. Almond-shaped, set at medium height, the distance between them must be wide. As a whole, the expression should be alert and lively, but at the same time remarkably firm, particularly in males.
Ears : High and laterally inserted, set well apart due to the width of the skull. Functionally, they should be cropped and erect, in triangular shape and with a length which does not exceed 50% of the front edge of the auricle of the natural ear. Without being cropped, they are of mid-length, broad, thick, flat and rounded at the tip. Covered with smooth hair which is a bit shorter than on the rest of the body; they may show small spots, not to be penalized. In natural position they hang down covering the back of the cheeks. When the dog is alert they may be half-erect.
NECK : Of medium length, strong and erect, well muscled, with a slightly convex upper line. Truncated cone-shaped, it joins the head in a muscular arch which hides all bony prominences in this part, and fits to the thorax in a large base. It is covered by a thick and elastic skin that freely slips over the subcutaneous tissue which is a bit laxer than on the rest of the body. It has non-pendent smooth folds at the height of the throat, a fundamental trait for the function of the animal. The coat in this part is slightly longer than on the rest of the body.
BODY : The length of the body (from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock) exceeds the height at the withers by 10%.
Upper line : Level; the withers and the pin bones of the croup are at the same height, constituting the highest points.
Withers : Large and high.
Back : Large and strong, with fully developed muscles forming a slight slope towards the loins.
Loins : Strong and hidden by the developed lumbar muscles which form a median furrow along the spine. Slightly shorter than the dorsal region, rising very slightly to the top of the croup. The development of muscles in the parts of the upper line causes the dogs to show a slightly depressed profile without being actually so, which is enhanced in adults due to the fully developed dorsal and spinal muscles.
Croup : Of medium length, large and muscular; slightly showing the tips of both ilium and ischium. Its width is equal or a bit less than that of the thorax; the angle to the horizontal is of about 30°, thus the upper line falling in a slightly convex slope towards the insertion of the tail.
Chest : Broad and deep. The tip of the breastbone is level with the tip of the shoulder joint (scapulo-humeral joint) and the sternal line of the thorax is level with the elbow line. Large thorax providing maximum respiratory capacity, with long and moderately curved ribs which join the breastbone at the height of the elbow line.
Abdomen : Slightly tucked up beyond the bottom line of the thorax, but never greyhound-like. Strong with good muscular tension as well as in the flanks and loins.
TAIL : Set medium high, with 45° angle to the upper line. Sabre- shaped, thick and long, reaching to the hocks but not further down. At rest it hangs down naturally; when the dog is in action, it is slightly raised over the upper line and constantly moving sidewards. When trotting, it is carried level with the upper line or slightly above.
LIMBS
FOREQUARTERS : As a whole, they form a sturdy and solid structure of bones and muscles, proportionate to the size of the animal. Forelegs straight and vertical, seen from the front or in profile.
Shoulders : High and proportioned. Very strong, with great muscular contours without exaggeration. Slanting of 45° to the horizontal.
Upper arm : Of medium length, proportionate to the whole. Strong and very muscular, with an 45° angle to the horizontal.
Elbows : Sturdy, covered with a thicker and more elastic skin, without folds or wrinkles. Naturally situated against the chest wall of which they seem to be part.
Forearm : As long as the upper arm, perpendicular to the horizontal, straight with strong bone and muscles.
Pastern joint : Broad and in line with the forearm, without bony prominences or skin folds.
Pastern : Slightly flat, well boned, slanting of 70 to 75° to the horizontal plane.
Front feet : Rounded; with short, sturdy, very tight toes. Fleshy, hard pads, covered by black and rough-to-the-touch skin.
HINDQUARTERS : With medium angulation. As a whole, they are strong, sturdy and parallel, creating the image of the great power their function requires. They ensure the proper impulsion and determine the dog’s characteristic gait.
Upper thigh : Length proportionate to the whole. Strong and with fully developed and visible muscles. Coxo-femoral angle close to 100 °.
Stifles : Set in the same axis as the limb. Femoral-tibial angle close to 110 °.
Lower thigh : Slightly shorter than the upper thigh, strong and with similarly developed muscles.
Hock joint / Hock : The tarsus-metatarsus section is short, strong and firm, ensuring powerful propelling of the hind limb. Sturdy hock joint with a noticeable calcaneus (tip of hock). The angle at the hock joint is close to 140°. Sturdy hock, almost cylindrical and at 90° angle to the horizontal. If present, dewclaws should be removed.
Hind feet : Similar to forefeet, though slightly smaller and broader, but with the same characteristics.
GAIT / MOVEMENT : Agile and firm; with noticeable modification when showing interest in something, changing into an erect attitude and responding to reflexes quickly, typical for this breed. Calm walk, extended trot, with a good front suspension and a powerful rear propelling. At gallop, the dog shows all of its energy displaying its power fully. The four feet leave simple, parallel traces. Ambling (pacing) is not accepted and is considered a serious fault.
SKIN : Homogeneous, slightly thick, but smooth and elastic. Adhering to the body through a semilax subcutaneous tissue which ensures free movement without forming relevant folds, except for the neck area where the subcutaneous tissue is laxer. With as little pigmentation as possible, through this increases with the years. An excessive pigmentation of the skin is not accepted. Preference should be given to dogs with black pigmentation of the rims of labial and palpebral mucous membranes.
COAT
HAIR : Uniform, short, plain and smooth to the touch, with an average length of 1,5 to 2 cm. Variable density and thickness according to different climates. In tropical climates the coat is sparse and thin (letting the skin shine though and making pigmented regions visible which is not a cause of penalty). In a cold climate it is thicker and denser and may present an undercoat.
COLOUR : Completely white; only one black or dark coloured patch around the eye may be admitted, provided that it does not cover more than 10% of the head. Between two dogs of equal conformation, the judge should always choose the whiter one.
SIZE :
Height at the withers : Dogs : 62 to 68 cm.
Bitches : 60 to 65 cm.
FAULTS : Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.
SERIOUS FAULTS :
Poor bone and muscle development (weakness).
Nose with little pigmentation.
Pendulous lips.
Small, weak or decayed teeth. Incomplete dentition.
Eyes excessively light; entropion, ectropion.
Barrel chest; keel chest.
Flat ribs.
Excessive angulations of the hindquarters.
Hock too long.
Untypical movement.
Excessive skin pigmentation in young dogs.
Appearance of small areas with coloured hairs.
Unsteady temperament.
DISQUALIFYING FAULTS :
Aggressiveness.
Nose without pigmentation.
Over-or undershot mouth.
Light blue eyes; eyes of different colour (heterochromia).
Deafness.
Long coat.
Patches in the body coat. More than one patch on the head.
Height under 60 cm and over 68 cm.
Any dog clearly showing physical or behavioural abnormalities shall be disqualified.
N.B. : Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.
Boa noite Francisco,FBC Escreveu:
Estou totalmente de acordo!
Não quero dizer que a morfologia não seja importante, mas a morfologia (temperamento,etc) só têm um obectivo, servir a funcionalidade: a morfologia e o caracter são meios, a funcionalidade é o fim - o objectivo de qualquer raça.
É por não termos atenção a isso que certas raças passam a degenerar-se, em todos os sentidos (incluindo morfológicamente), porque os julgadores, e criadores, da raça perdem a noção do objectivo da raça e passam a criar cães só pela morfologia (muitas vezes nem se lembram que a morfologia serve um funcionalidade) depois surgem os hipertipos , etc...
O cumulo são cães de caça (por exemplo) que são campeões de exposições e que não servem para caçar ( não só por falta de instinto mas também porque a morfologia não o permite).
Com os Dogos por vezes passa-se a mesma coisa: é comum os Dogos de exposiçaõ pesarem mais de 50kg, quando um bom cão de presa (para caça) nunca deve passar dos 45kg.

Cara LuMaria ,LuMaria Escreveu:Tenho seguido o tópico não pela raça, mas pelas fotografias que são belissimas (e um passatempo que adoro) bem como os cães, quando me deparo com conversas à Maria. Enfiei a carapuça, porque a unica Maria sou eu, portanto pergunto, qual foi o problema em ter pedido explicações sobre um assunto que me levantou dúvidas? Não ofendi ninguém, não critiquei ninguém, apenas me quis informar e tentar perceber o porquê de determinadas afirmações. É para isso que o fórum serve não? Ou estou a perceber tudo mal?Rochezoire Escreveu: Não me queria pronunciar outra vez acerca deste assunto porque por um lado estou a dar continuidade às acusações que aqui se fizeram e a dar trunfos ao/s labrego/s que querem é destas conversas à "Maria" (enfie a carapuça quem quiser)

Cmp.En lo que respecta al tema de la altura y el peso existen grandes debates y discusiones en el mundo doguero. El creador de la raza, nunca hubiera inmaginado el problema que sería a futuro el no específicar límites precisos de descalificación.
Pero sí lo hizo en todas sus disertaciones. A pesar de ésto, siguen estando los que propician el gigantismo, aferrándose a que el creador dijo “que entre dos ejemplares adultos habia que elegir el de mayor talla y peso, ya que en los campos argentinos, la mala alimentación la reduce.”- Dr.Antonio Nores Martínez
En nuestra época esto no sucede así, ya que la mayoria de los ejemplares no son criados en los campos y tienen muy buena alimentación.Y es el afán comercial el que ha llevado a desvirtuar la raza, en donde algunos conocidos criadores han cometido el imperdonable acto de mestizar con Gran Danés, para darle mayor alzada al dogo argentino.
Consideramos, que no hay mucho que analizar al respecto, ya que con sentido común, es lógico que un ejemplar de más alzada y peso, no pueda penetrar por los montes, ni poder ofrecer combate a un jabalí.
sim ... NoInfo é inevitável sem duvida, eu própria referenciei o facto da alimentação/estilo de vida/condições geo-climatéricas como condicionantes do desenvolvimento, de qualquer animal, neste mesmo tópico ... no entanto julgo que deverá de haver um esforço por parte dos criadores por se manterem fiéis à genese de uma raça ...SDPMG,
Quer queiramos ou nao os estaloes acabam por sofrer alteraçoes.

DR
Tudo no Dogo é escolhido de um ponto de vista funcional, até a cor logo respondendo à tua pergunta um dogo castanho segundo a ideia do criador da raça seria desfuncional, visto que o manto branco é pretendido para que se possa ver o dogo o melhor possível no meio do terreno de caça, praticamente todos aqui devem já ter lido sobre a criação do dogo, e já devem ter lido textos do Dr Martinez, não há um pormenor no cão idealizado por este senhor que não se prenda com motivos funcionais. Mas Nancy embora este exemplo não tenha sido o melhor eu percebo o que queres dizer, mas embora respeitando quem ache que a morfologia e a funcionalidade têm o mesmo peso, a minha opinião pessoal é de que a morfologia é fruto da funcionalidade, ou seja se nós cruzar-mos sempre os mais aptos para a caça, os mais saudáveis no fim vamos ter uma série de características fixadas, para mim é inconcebível que um cão que não apresente essas caracteríticas seja um caçador excelente, quero dizer que por mais carácter e instinto que o cão tenha se fisicamente não apresenta as caracteríticas morfológicas típicas para a função que exerce nunca poderá ser dos melhores no seu trabalho. Mas agarrando por exemplo num dogo que seria alta máquina de caçar, perfeito em todos os aspectos, mas por exemplo com a trufa completamente branca, não me importaria nada de ter este cãp, porque o valor dele é imenso como caçador, mas nunca o cruzaria, com medo de com isso andar para trás a nível de seleção de saúde no dogo(saúde também é funcionalidade) não seria apenas o medo de descendência com surdez mas porque também me parece que estes animais são mais suscetíveis de problemas cutâneosSe um certo dogo for uma maquina a caçar, mas possuir coloração fora do estalão - todo castanho claro por exemplo, deveria ser usado na reprodução?
Outro motivo porque para mim a morfologia( neste caso quero dizer a avaliação de um cão a nível de beleza) é secundário, prende-se com o facto de a interpretação do estalão ser por vezes um pouco ambígua, por vezes pessoal e permitir incluir cães que fogem um pouco ao que seria ideal a nível funcional, aliás basta ver por exemplo a avalição que faz de um cão um juiz de beleza e por exemplo um indivíduo experiente nas “rondas”, a escolha de um normalmente não coincide com a escolha do outro( já tive opurtunidade para verificar isto).Se um exemplar se destaca pela sua qualidade morfologica, é pq q possui exactamente a melhor estectica possivel para o desempenho da sua função original. Nao me digam q os juizes andam a estudar a revista maria no lugar dos estalões.
Falando dos pointer e dos setter, não dou o menor valor ao cão de exposição, se quiser um vou buscar de trabalho, são espectaculares enquanto os de beleza nada me dizem, é a minha postura pessoal,não tenciono ofender nimguém. É impressionante ver estes meninos a bater terreno, é lindíssimo, e nós sabemos que os estalões vão sofrendo mudanças ao longo do tempo que por vezes nada tem a ver com funcionalidade, de que serve um cão que respeite o estalão se não caça, prefiro mil vezes um mais pequeno, mas que é um Ás, a um lindissímo e imponente mas que no terreno não funciona.Mede lá um cão desses de trabalho e diz-me a quantos cm fica da altura minima referida no estalão?
Abraço
Acho que esta afirmação não tem muito a ver com o assunto, porque pelo menos por mim estou a falar de uma raça como produto acabado, estou a falar no meu ponto de vista, o melhor critério para continuar a seleção de uma raça, não tinha sequer posto a hipótese de misturar raças, mas já que tocaste neste assunto há uma mistura que gostaria de ter a hipótese de ver em acção, em terrenos abertos, Bull terrier X Grey hound. Não sou contra, quem sabe o que está a fazer, misturar raças para ter um tipo de cão que ache mais adquado à sua realidade, o próprio Dr Martinez cria dogo com o objectivo de conseguir um bom cão de caça grossa para a sua realidade, visto que segundo o próprio as raças exitentes na época estavam desvirtuadas( e quando eu falo funcionalidade primeiro é a pensar como seria triste se o Dogo ficasse desvirtuado).Se o FBA cruzar um pointer com um setter, de certeza que poderá obter bons cães de parar. Agora, se pegar num desses cães, e só enquanto o bicho caça bem, poderá chama-lo de pointer (ou de setter)?
Não .. pois nao?
E se por obra do destino tiver uma ninhada de dogos castanhos ? Mesmo que caçem bem, isso será desculpa para o usar na reprodução?
