The Dogo should give the appearance of an elegant, smoothly muscled, well balanced dog capable of stepping out of the ring and into the hunt. Judges are asked by the club sponsoring the breed to keep this fact uppermost in their mind when evaluating the merits of the dog. When viewed from the front the skull is square in shape with chiseled features, a furrow between the eyes and pronounced cheek muscles. When viewed in profile the distance from the tip of the nose to the stop is equal to the distance from the stop to the occiput. The nasal bone is so formed that the nose is slightly higher at the tip than the muzzle at the stop.
EYES Eyes are preferably dark or hazel in color.
Eyelids rimmed in black or pink or a combination of both. Black being preferred. The expression is alive and intelligent but with a remarkable intensity at the same time. NOSE Nostrils well developed and wide open. Black in color.
