Mike, This is about 10 minutes from my house! This area has a lot of good hogs. How are those hogs behind your place?
Muddogkennels, I don't know what it is. It definitely wasn't used to house this hog. We ran him 1.3 miles and there were no fences. Interesting though how when people see a big hog first thing they think is it must have been tame or something. All I can tell you is it is as wild as they come. Caught a big boar this morning too. It wrecked my lurcher.
I am glad you liked it Dallas.

I am just east of Montgomery. They are doing pretty good. They are about 7 months and are straight catch now. They are smaller than I had hoped. The game pit was small though. I haven't let them run much. As of now, they will follow another dog. Not much independent hunting. Bird dogs start a little slower though.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I think a better heading would be - Dogo vs Catahula, or Dogo vs rough cur. A dogo is much closer to a rough catahula or cur than it is to a pit. You take a good pack of rough RC curs and it will be very similar to a couple of dogos. Compare that to pits. Most pits have zero self preservation left in them. That is not the case with any of the dogos I have ran.

I got my dogo from the same breeder you are talking about and didn't pay anywhere near 3000 for mine.
It was 1400 for the dog and approximately 1600 for the flight, shipping container and health certificate. How much did you pay? Most recent my pops paid 600 for the pup & 800 for shipping. That is reasonable. This dog was purchased as a "started" hog dog, so I paid more. It is also lot more expensive to ship an adult size dogo then a pup. The dog was a beautiful dog. He had great conformation, and probably would have been great in a show ring. He just wasn't any kind of dog I would hunt with. As I said earlier, I like fast-starting dogs with high prey drive. I wish any of the dogos would have worked out. I love the build of the dogo. They have speed and stamina. I was very disappointed with the way the turned out. Again, this was just my experience with four consecutive dogs from four different breeders. It is possible I just got four culls.
