chainrated... there are several reasons I know I have a dogo and not a pit as I would assume you are thinking thats what he is lol. #1 Because he sent me papers, i just never did nothin with them since I didnt see any reason to register a runt and didnt have breeding plans back then. I have moved six times since then and they have been lost. #2 Except for the size, he fits the breed standard of a Dogo to a T. There is alot more to the breed standard than the size. #3 I saw pictures of the parents, both parents were definitely full size dogos. #4 I did have to pay alot for him but not as much as his brothers and sisters cost, I dont think I claimed I didnt have to pay alot for him, just that I paid a cull price for a dogo as far as he would not make the breed standard as far as size. #5 my mom was a vet, so she had several friends that were vets. One of her best friends could not believe that Soco didnt have any pit bull in him when she saw him so she ran a dna swab test, no pit bull dna running through his blood... dogo was not on the list of 100 or so breeds on the test so I would probably have to get a blood test to find out his exact dna, but there is not any pit.
and most importantly... aint no pit that could hang with this dog
Got another dogo pup on the way, hopefully get him in may depending on how the hearing test goes. Doin it right this time and gettin a dog from a reputable breeder. I have hunted with one dogo that is a cull, and that dog was in a non hunting home for the first year of his life and was beat on for a long time, this dog was culled for human aggression against someone who has little dog experience and probably did something to provoke it, not lack of hunting or catching. I have limited experience with dogos, only haveing hunted behind seven several times each, but I have a feeling that is alot more experience than many of the people who sit on this board and trash dogos. I have hunted behind more pits than I can count and I know of three that I wouldnt cull, one of them was KIA.
Im not sayin I dont like pits, I love pits, but most the free pits at the pound or cheap pits from a back yard breeder are culls and most the time arent even pure bred pit. Even pits registered through ADBA, which is a game dog registry for game bred pits, are not pure bred pits. ABDA has recently started registering pit/mastif crosses as pure pit bulls for people to enter in their sled pull competitions. A true "game bred" pit from someone who has good lines ( breeding champions with ROM) are just as costly as dogos. Not saying that these game bred dogs from sires and dams with ROM are the only good pit bulls, but I here alot of this "game bred" dog talk and pictures of game bred dogs that look nothin like a game bred dog, and a game bred dog does have a "look" if bred properly. The look is not that of a brick $hit house.
Im not really sure why all the hostility between people over breeds of dogs but I dont really care what people use as long as the dogs are workin. I like them both, the dogo just works better for me.
