Dream Keepers Kennel

Dream Keepers Kennel was established in 2012 after unintentionally falling in love with this majestic breed of Dogos. It all stated with me wanting to hunt so I began stalking deer which wasn't my favorite thing to do.  During this process I was introduced to hog hunting and began to research this secret society of hunters trying to figure out how to get myself inside this hunting type.  In order to hog hunt, you have to have good dogs.  This is where my search began as I looked for the best dog to hog hunt with.  In my search I was introduced to all types of game scent dogs and baying dogs but I found out one of the biggest problems was getting a catch dog that could handle huge rank hogs without getting overwhelmed or straight out slaughtered. I came across the Dogo Argentinos and all of the fascinating stories that came along with the breed.  As I started to learn, I stared to travel around the United States to see specimens to match these stories and needless to say I wasn't impressed.  I began to work with a breeder and began my path to learning.  I saw an opportunity to work out a deal to get a few imports from the breeder while the dogs were being trained. While waiting for the pups to arrive, I got in touch with the man that would end up changing my life, Dr. Ulises D'Andrea Martinez, the grandson of the breeds creator.  We began to talk about the dogs and his grandfathers legacy. As I learned more, I couldn't believe the level of loyalty and intelligence that Dogos carried.  I worked out a trip to go and experience the lifestyle in Argentina.  Upon arriving, I fell in love with the culture.  From the food to the people, I absorbed as much as I could including being introduced to these magnificent white dogs.  I learned to ride horses while I was there in order to grasp the full experience of dog hunting.  Upon returning to the states, I purchased land to start a farm and to hunt.  My property is set up to mimic the dogs natural environment while I raise the pups in a way that I witnessed while visiting Argentina where they experience flawless socialization at the great criaderas. I wanted to learn the way of the Doguero, not just loving the dogs but enjoying nature and appreciating the comradery and passion. I've adopted the lifestyle and have raised my family in the way of the Dogos. My children have been raised around Dogos, my parents and properties are protected by Dogos, and my mission is to show the world this majestic animal.  I have traveled around the world chasing the hunt and shows with Dogos meeting incredible people along the way.
