Biggs is a big boy, but he is one with a gentle demeanor. He's so gentle taking those treats he loves and even knows to sit for them. He's deaf, but open to learning new skills, especially for those treats! He can't hear, but he's a smart boy who's quickly picked up on hand signals and understands that the commands sit and stay.

He loves to play in the yard and will swing by to get petted. Then he likes going for leash walks, pulling some, but always getting better. When he's off with human friends, he loves to snuggle in bed with them, expecting to be their spoon at night. And he's also good in crates, settling down after about 10 minutes, and he is house-trained, so he does well when left home alone.

This handsome Dogo Argentino will love a home with patient adults or a family with older teens who can help with his deaf training. He should live well with a dog buddy. He can be a little forward at first, and that should smooth out. Come meet this handsome fellow with his great smile today!
