Even if the dog is working 4days a week like mine will in winter, themost time of its life will be spent at home with my daughter. How are the dogos REALLY? Don't just tell me their sweet as stripper kisses to save face. Honestly when compared to say a golden retriever or lab how would you rate their friendliness and loyalty?
Just wrote a paper on BSL about pit bulls and here is a quote that I used in my paper.
Several years ago the American Temperament Test Society ranked the Pit Bill fourth in best temperament out of all the breeds tested. Due to irresponsible owners, in more recent studies with more breeds included, the Pit Bulls numerical rank and passing rate has gone down but they still remain, with an 82.3% passing rate, slightly higher than the “All American Family Dog”, the Golden Retriever which has a passing rate of 80.2%. Their passing rate is also slightly higher than the average American dog that has a passing rate of 80.2% (Cohen and Richardson 288).
I would trust my dogo with an infant for hours by himself, just like I would a well bred, well socialized pit.
Chainrated... Im in college and only have my 70 lbs runt dogo with me at school in lubbock tx. Here in lubbock hogs are few and far between. Took him out after him not bein hunted in over a month. He struck and caught a good size sow. Dont know many pits that can do this.
Point here is, to each his own. Both dogos and pits make good hog dogs. If you can bay up a hog and walk in 30 yrs to turn a catch dog loose, lucky you, get a pit. Cheap, you may go through a few before you find the right one but oh well. If you need somethin more than get a dogo. My runt ass dogo doesnt regrip and has never curred out. Every breed has its problems, including pit. I have a buddy that has givin up on pit cuz he has probably culled 15+ in the past six months, hunts strait cur dogs now. I promise you, if you are at the right breeder, you wont cull any dogos, just like if you are at the right breeder you wont cull any pits. Anyone that has hunted behind my runt will testify that he is the real deal and would rather have him as a catch dog than any pit. There are many reasons behind this... he can hunt by himself, hes smart, you can let him go from hundreds, even 1000 yrds out if needed, and he is very people friendly... to the people he should be, like I said, he is smart. And like I said before, both pits and dogos make good hog dogs, just depends on what you need.
