I think as always everybody gets their panties in a BIg WAD, because someone says THIS IS THE BEST AND MY WAY IS BETTER, and then SOMEBODY ELSE SAYS ONE TIME A FRIEND of mine told me he seen a dog screw up. FOLKS GET OVER ALL THAT!

The Reason the Dogo subject always goes South is because a few will say this is the best breed hands down and was made to do this job and absolute #1.
JUST like anything else there are good specimens and bad specimans of the breed, problem is this board has some very experienced that have alot of experience with the breed and will tell you truthfully all the issues they have seen, and dealt with on a personal level, and when you compare the numbers of GOOD, REAL GOOD PROVEN dogs, healthy, dogs without allergies and that have good hearing, (alot of Hearing issues, Bilateral can still hear but can't pinpoint direction, and if you breed without actual testing in the woods or in a VET office you can't say for sure) Compared to all the junk and cull the PERCENTAGES OF THIS BREED being a "GOOD HUNTING dog" are not in your best advantage.

Alot of people claim their dogs are good hunters, and when those people making those claims Don't know how to hunt themselves, have NO business making these claims it only hurts the integrity of the breed that much more.

Unfortunately because many of the So called Dogo Breeders don't test for hearing, health and make sure they actually catch and hold when and where it counts, the breed will keep having this issue.
I want to tell some of these MICKEY MOUSE BREEDERS something that might keep themselves from looking STUPID to people that actually use dogs to hunt in real situations-
"A DOG THAT GRABS OR BITES IS NOT THE SAME Thing as Catching!  a Catch Dog and a dog that bites a hog are not the same thing"
If everybody got on the same page heir would be alot less misunderstanding and argueing.
