<p align="left"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Helv,Verdana">The tests, the Pruebas
de Campo, of the dogos against the wild boar or the Puma.<br>
The tests are not only held as a breeding selection but
also as a preparation for the dangerous hunt.They want to
find out quite soon what his courage and hardness are to
prevent that they are going to hunt with a Dogo that is
not suitable for this event and can bring the owner in a
dangerous position.One cannot see the test as a bloody
event; when the Dogo attacked and has ahold on the prey
then they are seperated at once,to prevent damage.A wild
boar however is not easily wounded because of his thick
skin and though coat.<br>
<br>
In common the people who are participating in these tests
are concerned about there Dogos,because it is also for
the Dogo a very dangerous test. Nowadays the tests are
seldom held because of the Animal Care Organisations on
one side and the Showlobbies on the other side, because
it would be a big failure as the Champion did not succeed
such a test!<br>
<br>
The cage for the test with the puma (mostly held in the
North-west of Argentina) is normally 4x5 metres. There is
no point system,the judge says "succeeded" or
"not succeeded". The puma's wich had many
contacts with Dogos are very skilled in making the life
of a Dogo very difficult, also because the puma is quite
clever. During the hunting ,which can last for several
days, the Dogo is coming in action when a pack of
trackdogs(crossings) have located the puma.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Helv,Verdana">Then his time has come
to get a hold on the puma so that the hunter himself can
approach the prey.When this takes to long the Dogos have
to kill the puma themselves.If the Dogos are not topfit
then they might have a very short
life...............................................</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Helv,Verdana">Nowadays the Dogo
Argentino shows his skill as a hunter in many countries
all over the world, as the creator of the breed would
like to see it.<br>
