Leave him alone.

He will get down by himself.

Yeah, he always gets

down by himself.

Come on, don't

give a bad impression.

He's a bit nervous.

Come on.

You better leave him!

It's just a scratch.

It's nothing.

- He doesn't have rabies, does he?

- These dogs don't get rabies.

He sure has character.

Our friend made his debut.

A dogo owner with no scar,

is not a real dogo owner.

Do you know why he did it?

Because he loves you.

Look at me!

Taking two dogs apart.

Double fracture.

Radio, ulna

and five tendons.

And it wasn't even

on purpose!

Well, friend...

Welcome to the club!

Come in, Villegas.

Come in, brother. I want

you to feel at home here.

We never use this place.

Except for Saturdays or Sundays

if a lunatic wants to test a car...

or if there's a car race.

Follow me, I am gonna

put your mattress here.

This is gonna be your room.

Your mattress goes here.

Let the dog loose.

- Won't he run away?

- What I promise to show you.

You'll see.

Tampa, Miami 1994.

Check out this

dog show!

This is the Argentine

delegation.

See if you find

someone you know.

Look carefully!

It's you!

Sixty people travelled.

We were pretty close

to winning the first series.

And you took

the dogs with you?

It's a Canine Exhibition.

How could we go with no dogs?

What an idiot!

You can't imagine how

much money is at stake.

In the USA alone,

there's 80 million dogs.

They're almost

the biggest minority.

And then you have:

Sponsors,

dog food,

laboratories,

vaccine producers,

dog collar manufacterers...

It's incredible the amount

of money behind all that.

Listen,

when this dog takes off...

we will need

a sponsor.

No sponsor and you are dead.

But, first things first.

Next step is Baha Blanca.

Have a good rest. Tomorrow

we'll start training early.

Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

I'll leave the flashlight here.

In 10 minutes, I turn

off the generator.

Left, right, left.

Left, left again.

Left, right, left.

That's right.

Very good, Villegas.

Stop him, Villegas.

Turn around.

Now at a trot.

Now turn him around!

Pull him.

Pull him hard.

Hard.

The head is very

important.

And the hand.

Mark his head.

And regarding his head...

A wet towel to clean.

So that the dog

stays as good as new.

See? He's covered with it.

Stay still so that I can

watch from a distance.

Just a bit more.

- You will do well in Baha Blanca.

- You think so?

Walter has a special

eye for this.

The great day has come!

Yes, sir!

What time is it?

3 A.M. But we

have a long way to go.

I got these clothes for you.

And this cap,

this is my gift.

Come on, Villegas.

Drink a mate and wake up.

Handsome!

Do I look OK?

A real exhibitor!

Wait for me here,

I have to check our position.

Good morning. Are

you the owner of the dog?

Here's a pin.

- Thanks.

- You are welcome.

Villegas!

See what I brought you!

Look who's here.

Lechien.

Walter Donado

and Juan Villegas.

See that guy with the yellow

shirt, combing the white dog?

See him?

With that little white dog,

he was three time national champ...

and twice Panamerican champion

With the money

that little dog gave him...

he bought a car for his wife

and paid cash for a house.

And with this shitty economy!

Imagine what the

dog business is like!

Argentine Dogo, Male Category,

please enter the track...

They are calling us.

We're ready.

We have to take him

to the track.

Come on, champ,

Go get 'em.

No, you stay here!

You watch and enjoy.

We will go and win that prize.

N 203, Bombn of Le chien.

N 122, Achilles of Cimarrn.

N 74, Pechito of La Manchega.

Male Dogos participants

line up for inspection.

- Judge Villarreal...

- Move a bit there...

Here you are.

Is now inspecting

and judging the animals.

They are eight in total.

Hi, sweetie.

Very good, friend.

Very good.

Go up there and come back,

in circles, please.

And after the prize,

there will be a drawing...

for a bicycle and

a pair of skates.

Very good, stay behind that one.

We are about to

announce the decision...

the top prize for the best specimen...

Show me the number.

That will pass to the final selection.

Its a time of mystery and tension...

that repeats itself for

each breed and category.

Dr. Villarreal has already

made a decision.

The winner of the category

Adult Male...

Dogo Argentine is...

You are the winner.

The specimen N 703,

Bombn of Lechien.

What did I tell you?

But let's keep a low profile...

that's how you celebrate

the first round.

What did the judge

tell you?

- Is he any good?

- And what do you think?

We won the first round

and will go to the finals.

Dear friends,

The moment you were waiting

for is finally here.

Now we will choose

the best three dogs.

Take the dog and guide him.

Come on!

They are calling you!

How come you don't want to?

Do you want him

to be disqualified?!

Run!

Come on, Lechien!

Sir, there!

Wait, you have

to stand there.

There.

Please, stand him up straight.

The President of the Jury,

Mr. Martn Collazo,

making his usual inspection...

of the category winners...

in the 3rd. Canine Exhibition

of Baha Blanca.

All of them,

beautiful animals...

of the most conspicuous

breeds of our country.

We are about to have

the final results.

Mr. Collazo and Dr. Alvenazzi,

Secretary of this beautiful exhibition

are finalizing the details.

The judge is asking

for the trophies!

Now, form a

a circle, go on.

And now, the traditional

lap of the winners.

- First prize for...

- The first...

Caniche Toy, N 769.

- Second prize for...

- The second!

- Belgian Shepperd, N 767.

- Third prize for...

- The third!

Argentine Dogo,

Bombn of Lechien.

N 703.

Excuse me!

Excuse me!

Third prize, I told you!

And on top of that,

I've sold a stud service.

- For the dog?

- Sure, who else?

We have to call

this guy tomorrow.

He's got a female dog

just in time.

We can easily

charge him $600.

600, if you are in the business,

you know he is worth every penny.

I don't know of a dog that

does a service for $400.

We can offer you

a discount.

450 and we have a deal.

I have everything, even

the Brucellosis Test.

This animal has had

all his check-ups.

Here is your order.

Relax, I have the address.

We will be there tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Money!

- How much?

- $7.50

Charge it to our account.

No, I only take cash.

How come?

In Miami, we never

paid cash.

What is it with this country?

Give him $8,

he can keep the change.

Yes, I've got it.

Let's toast.

To the future, to this partnership,

that was born to win!

And to Lechien!

To Lechien!

Do you like the fat girl?

She sings well.

Sings well!

She reminds me

of a girlfriend...

I had thirty years ago.

- Are you sure it's not her?

- Don't think so.

I'll bring her over here,

maybe she's your girl.

Coco Villegas.

A pleasure, Susana.

He's a breeder

of dogos...

the most important

in the Patagonia.

His dog won today

in Baha Blanca...

First prize.

- Congratulations!
