Scott- Not the point. I saw the thread and bit. Like a Dogo! Face first! I wasnt coming to you to sell you on Dogos, I fealt compeled to tell my story, To defend the Dogo. I didnt start the thread to prove I have good dogs. But Point taken

Doggie- I own 4 and out of the 4 one is stellar. 2 of them are 16 Months and 2 are 14 Months. So I am new to Dogos and I have only Hog/Dog hunted for a few years. But I am smart enough to know what didnt work and what does.

If the dog is a cull, let it be! Regardless of price.

But what I found out quickly is how many people who enjoy our sport dont have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. So if you have any experience with them, did you pay for them, or the person who did pay for it, would they cull it. More times than not, NO! Maybe pass it off as a "Not finished" or water it down with another breed.

I hate it for anyone who has a negative experience with them. Not every breed, nor every breeder has perfect dogs. But can they cull it. I sure hope you experieince what I have and see what I saw. The guy I bought from is a savage. "Dogo dont hunt, Dogo doesnt come home". He is hunter and trainer at heart and only a breeder for mostly his own stock.

I was asked to breed my male to a local breeder's price pedigree female. Her dogs were show dogs. I declined. I dont need the money or support that. Hopefully that's not the what people see. 

I have Harley's. People will always tell you that they have a motorcycle just like it, but faster, better looking and more reliable. Oh yea its cheaper too. I have many Ford Diesel trucks. Back when Ford had the 7.3 liter Power Stroke (the best pick up series diesel ever...) every diesel guy would tell you how there brand of truck/diesel made more HP, more torque, better MPG. Now I have Dogo's. People are constantly telling me how Pits and AB are better, better, better.

People with Harley's Dont need to tell you the value of their bike. People with the the good 'ole P.S. Diesels dont approach you to tell you about the quality of there truck, Nor does a Dogo owner tell you the qualtiy of their dogs.

If you wanted a Harley, should have bought one! If you wanted a real diesel should have bought one! If you wanted a versitle hunter, guard dog and a companion, should have bought one!

Ask the Dogo breeders and hunters, when it was they switched from Pits or AB's and why.

If you dont like them, dont buy. If you can't afford them buy back-yard breeders "finished" dogs and have a ball!

Thanks for you time!

Pigrig, I'm not sure what dogos you hunted with or where they came from but they are not the dogos I have nor that I have seen. These dogs are big in comparison to most hog dogs. They develop and mature slower. My alpha male absolutely smashed the first hog he ever saw, the instant he saw it, his first time in the bay pin. His first real hunt he separated from the curs, i was irritated but within minutes he found and caught his first hog. This same dog has jumped a 6' privacy fence and runs 4 miles a day when he is not hunted, on the tread mill without any harnesses, etc... This may not be your style of dog but the dogo is not big, dumb or slow. He is now 1.5 years old!
