　I cannot talk to anything about this experienced gentleman.

　I think.....so....occasionally.

　I feel signs of the fight buried in this blood. And, I learn the gentleness that exists in the courage and the intellect. Dogo Argentino is a dog that has a miraculous functionality and mental structure for me. His eye that look at the owner tell about all. I am told the history of the desperate fight.

　I do not think that I talk about many about Dogo Argentino. Because it will be understand from life with this great dog.

　Dogo Argentino was imported about 30 years ago (1977-1979) to Japan by a few hunters and brokers. They visited Dr. Agustin Nores Martinez and Dr. Fernando Moreno. They imported Isidro etc.. Of course, the purpose was hunting. However, the purity of Dogo Argentino was not maintained for hunting and high economical cost. In Japan, a pure Dogo Argentino absent.

　In Japan about 10 years ago, a person imported two Dogo Argentino from the U.S. and Argentina. He is Mr. Kenichi Uemura ( Secret Kennels) that built the foundation of the Dogo Argentino world in present Japan.

　We are thankful to him, because a Dogo Argentino does not exist without him in Japan.

　We respect Dogo Argentino of old type. The capability of hunting and defense instinct of Dogo Argentino are valued. Our purpose is breeding Dogo Argentino which owns high function. Therefore, Dogo Argentino which we own is not large. We attach importance to the function and mind. The function means the capability which runs, tenacity, and the power of jaw. Mind means courage, intellect, and intuition. It seems that the breeder who ignores the functional capability of Dogo Argentino is in Japan, recently. Our Dogo Argentino are active in hunting, defense, and show. Additionally, we esteem 80 percent of the opinion of Mr. Paolo Vianini. Dogo Argentino is an instinctive hunter, and he referred height on the functionality. I calculated referring to Gregory Bateson (1979). As the result, 1.5 times or more the amount of the oxygen supply are needed, if becoming the height of 67 cm in the height of 65 cm.　On the other hand, a famous overseas breeder describes their Dogo Argentino in the performance as functional. Dogo Argentino described that they are functional were not excellent in the function. Our breeding Dogo Argentino always won. We were convinced of this.

Dogo Argentino of 30 or more years ago was wonderfully functional - Some of this opinion will contain the fantasy that beautifies the past -. Dogo Argentino was called “white bullet” or “white rocket” by hunters. On the other hand, Japan does not have many hunters. Moreover, narrow land of Japan cannot demonstrate capability of original of Dogo Argentino. We are groping for a different possibility on the functional capability of Dogo Argentino, in such the present situation.

We want to value Dogo Argentino old type. We respect typical Dogo Argentino. “Katana” which is the name of our kennel means Japanese sword. Japanese sword is created by the method of striking iron and removing excessive iron. The excessive thing is not needed. This is the Japanese way of thinking. A Japanese poem of 31 syllables, haiku poem, and Zen are also the same thought. We love simple. “Katana” is simple and simple means typical. That is, “Katana” means a typical.

　 We keep esteeming father, mother, and the functional gymnastic according to the creator and the family. This raza is a companion who protects one's family, and a hound. So we built an institution called Ultimate Animal City - U.A.C.- for functional gymnastics in the summer of this year. U.A.C. is an institution for various training including hunting training. We always stock some wild boars for training of this raza. And I will invite Dr. Ulises D'Andrea Nores to U.A.C. in November, 2008.

　We are especially thankful to the following peoples from the bottom of our heart.

Mr. Fernando Moreno
Mr. Albert Garfunkel
Mr. Ulises D'Andrea Nores
Mr. Horacio Rivero Nores
Mr. Marcelo Fernandez
Mr. Paolo Vianini
Mr. Serafino Bueti
