One very important factor to remember when talking about improving the dogo is this............The breed already exists of a handful of purebred dogs that were thrown in a blender to make it what it is. All this was only done in 1928 and theres no telling how long it took to get the line to start reproducing itself in a pure form. What im trying to get at is this breed is just an infant in the purebred world,hell the guy that started the breed hasnt been dead long enough yet for us to start messing with his concoction of ingredients. The closest i came to owning a dogo was a half dogo half pit and he did his job,nothing spectacular but not a pure dogo so i cant judge. I do know that dogo's are a banned breed in Australia ( and im sure that means new zealand also ? ) so to give you something to compare to pigrig,i would have to say the bull arab comes colosest. And the same question pops up,are hunters satisfied with the bull arab or would you add something to it to improve it?
Both are relatively young breeds made up of a handful of other base breeds and diluting or adding to them,to me,only takes away from what the original inventor was trying to achieve. On a personal note,i guess you could say that by my dog being half pit,he was shorter in stature therfore making it easier to cross under fences and thick brush,sure it made things more convenient for me,but did crossing out the dogo to a pit improve on his catching abilities any? I dont believe so,he didnt catch any harder or smarter than eiither a pure pit or pure dogo. Good tough question though pigrig,happy hunting mate!!
