The only really sad thing I see about dogos is that from what I hear the show dog people don't really test their dogs. I have heard of and seen some show ring champions being hunted, but with the relative low cost and ease of semen storing I would like to see some sure enough Westminster dogs in the woods catching. It is the same old story with every breed, but seems like as small of a breed as dogos are at this point someone could spark an interest in actually hunting those show dogs. That way there may be a division in hunt or catch, but not so much a division in hunt or show. I believe hunting dogs need to be shown to those judges for the sake of breed preservation. A dogo with no hunt is not a dogo to me.

Off my soapbox now.

Cheers
