    Great Experience with a Responsible Breeder I had a great experience with the people I got my Dogo Argentino from. They were professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about their dogs. Dogo came healthy, strong, and well-socialized. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality Dogo Argentino!

    Terrence, an expert in the Dogo breed, demonstrated his genuine care for the breed from the beginning. Our initial contact was filled with informative explanations about the breed’s history, temperament, and social behavior around family and other dogs. Utilizing the Good Dog app streamlined the process. Terrence provided regular updates on Ghost and arranged for a flight nanny to deliver our baby boy. He also shared all the health records, vaccination information, and a meal plan with me. After the delivery, Terrence continued to be in touch, promptly responding to any questions I may have had. I wholeheartedly recommend Primo Kennels to anyone seeking a Dogo Argentino. Donnell

    Primo Kennels made finding our puppy a great experience. Terrance was great to work with and was very knowledgeable about his breed. I loved the interview process and his passion he has with his animals. When selecting our puppy he was able to help us pick our little guy by asking what we were looking for and by doing that he was able to identify the parents and provide us puppies to choose from. We are so happy with our selection and he is a perfect fit for our family. In preparation for our new family member, Terrance with Primo Kennels also provided us a diet plan so we would have everything nutritionally ready, registered us with Home again, provided all test results, and medical records we would need for our local vet. When scheduling the pick-up, Terrance also helped us coordinate our meet date and went out of his way to meet us at the Atlanta airport to deliver our little Ozzy to us. Thank you so much for the great experience!

    I worked with Terrence and Primo Kennels to acquire a Dogo last November. Since then Morpheus has became a well welcomed member of our family. Terrence was instrumental during the selection process as I asked questions about the temperament of the Dogo breed and selecting the right puppy for me, my wife, and our grand kids. Without any reservations, I would recommend Primo Kennels and Dogos as a family breed.
