I have been meaning to post to this thread for a while but just haven't had time lately. You asked if anyone else had any experience with the big white dogs.I have hunted behind 2 different dogs of this cross. My buddy Gentry Barker had a male named Mac that I'm almost positive was from Bryant Davis' Zeus dog. Mac recently passed away but was one of the best handling, nicest, and hardest hitting catch dogs I've been around. Great all around dog. He also has a female now that's about 14 months old that is getting better every time out. Her name is Rosie and she's 5/8 AB and 3/8 dogo. I think Mac was 50/50 split. Both of these dogs were and are great catch dogs with both brains and brawn. Love hunting with them. They could easily be pets they are so friendly. I have pictures of them but nothing ever posts right for me lol. If you would like more information or pictures just ask.
Mac was a nice and easy handling catchdog. He was off an accidental brother X sister cross of Zeus and Comet. Don't want to burst any bubbles, but out of the litter of 12 pups, only two made the grade. Mac and his brother Catch. I believe Catch is still alive and kicking....easy to spot had ears like Dumbo. Mac started very slow like a lot of these dogs. We had them going pretty good and Gentry and I went hunting one morning and only took Mac and Catch for catching. Bayed a big boar and about got a cur dog killed when we sent them and they both got there and went to baying. Honestly a miracle they made the trip home after that day but they eventually came online and finished out nicely.
I've raised more than a handful of these and if you're patient and don't expect too much too soon most make nice dogs.
