Dogo Argentino Pricing

With hunting dogs, pups especially, the more you pay the worse the dog. It indicates the breeder is breeding to make money, that's their motivation. Exotic pure breeds with a reputation that precedes them are the worst of all, the dogo a perfect example. Such breeds draw in snake oil salesmen like fat kids to cake, and they start breeding "dogo argentinos" to sell "dogo argentinos". Maybe some hunters incidentally breed pure dogos, idk, but if you seek out a dogo argentino you will stumble into one of the former "dogo argentino breeders" 999 times out of 1000, and get a pretty dog that can stand there and "be a dogo argentino" but do little else. Maybe be a lead in catch dog just because it's such a simple job that nearly any big headed dog can do.

If you look for hunters, and then grab whatever pup they have on the ground to give away or for 50 bucks or something, most likely it will be a good hunting dog, and not a purebreed anything.
