DREAM KEEPERS KENNELS
BUILT TO PRESERVE THE DOGO ARGENTINO
Dream Keepers Kennels breeds Dogo Argentinos that are sound in body, steady in temperament, and ready for real work and family life. Established in 2012, we plan every pairing with a purpose, hearing test every puppy, and make every placement with care.
WHO WE ARE
ABOUT DREAM KEEPERS KENNELS
Dream Keepers Kennels is a Dogo Argentino breeding program in Central Alabama, founded by William Marshall in 2012. We breed dogs that are correct in structure, calm and dependable at home, and capable when there is work to do.
Our name says what we do. Dr. Antonio Nores Martínez created the Dogo Argentino in Argentina to hunt big game, particularly wild boar. He dreamed of one dog with the courage for that work, the stability to live with a family, and the intelligence to do both. We work to keep that dream alive. Our foundation dogs were imported from Argentina, selected from proven working lines, and every generation since has been bred with the same aim.
We know every dog in our program personally. We plan each pairing ourselves, evaluate every puppy as an individual, and stay in touch with our owners long after their puppy goes home.

AVAILABLE DOGO ARGENTINO PUPPIES
Our puppies are raised with regular handling and steady exposure to new people, sounds, and surfaces, so they leave us confident and ready to learn. Each one is BAER hearing tested and evaluated for temperament and drive before we match it to a home. Placement begins with a short application, which helps us understand your household and recommend the right puppy for you.

HOW WE BREED
OUR BREEDING STANDARD
Every dog in our program is measured against the same four qualities, and every pairing is planned to strengthen them in the next generation. A dog that falls short in any one of them is not bred, whatever its other strengths.
STRUCTURE
Correct bone, balance, and movement, true to the Dogo Argentino as a working athlete. We assess the dog in front of us as carefully as the pedigree behind it, because sound structure keeps a dog healthy and capable throughout its life.
TEMPERAMENT
Stable, confident, and clear-headed. A Dream Keepers Dogo should be gentle with its family, composed around strangers, and willing to work when asked. We watch for this from the first weeks and select for it in every breeding.
HEALTH
Every puppy receives a BAER hearing test, with each ear tested separately, and the written results go home with the puppy. Those results also guide our breeding decisions. When a dog's offspring fall below our standard, we remove that dog from breeding.
WORKING ABILITY
The Dogo was created to hunt big game, particularly wild boar, and we keep that drive, courage, and stamina in our lines. Our dogs are trained and evaluated in real work, so we know what each one can do before it is ever bred.
HEALTH & TESTING
HEALTH & BAER TESTED
You should never have to take a breeder's word that your puppy can hear. Deafness is a known concern in the Dogo Argentino, and a puppy that hears in only one ear can seem perfectly normal at home. So we BAER test every puppy at about six to eight weeks, before it goes home with you.

THE DOGS BEHIND THE PROGRAM
MEET OUR DOGOS
These are the dogs behind our puppies. Some are foundation dogs we imported from Argentina. Others are their descendants, or dogs we added to strengthen the line. Each one has earned its place.

OUR PUPPY PROCESS
01
APPLY
Tell us what you want in a Dogo and the role you want it to fill. The application takes a few minutes and commits you to nothing.
02
TALK WITH US
We go through your application with you and talk honestly about which of our puppies fits what you are looking for.
03
RESERVE
When the fit is right, a deposit holds your puppy while we finish raising and evaluating it. We keep you updated as it grows.
04
BRING YOUR PUPPY HOME
At about 12 weeks, collect your puppy in person or arrange transport with us. You leave with everything you need to continue what we started.
A Dogo is a long commitment, so we take the time to get each placement right. Here is how it works, from your first message to the day your puppy comes home.
WHAT COMES WITH YOUR PUPPY
Every Dream Keepers puppy goes home with its health, vaccination, and deworming records, written BAER hearing results, care and feeding instructions, a collar, and registration or pedigree papers according to its placement. Each puppy is covered by our first-year health guarantee, and our support continues for the life of your dog. Whenever you have a question about feeding, training, or behavior, you can call us.
