There are working lines of dogos being bred in America. They're expense and take longer to mature than the average pit, so owning a dogo is like an investment. They were bred to be sensitive to their family and be docile in the home. They are a contradiction. But I do believe that the "show lines" and "working lines" of dogo are becoming two very different type of dogs. The desired look for the dogo in the show world is ruining them for what is needed in the woods.
Ok...the thing to do is breed the white out of them...lol

I dont sell any dogos, we have sold a few as pets and given most away to hunters for future breeding and using reasons. PPC is the kennel myself and a few others bought from, liked what we got (start early, hard, prey drive, athletic etc) and bc we are using them as cds and dont want to buy another one every time we need one, bred them and the pups have been very consistent with what we wanted. Ive stayed in touch with about 7 or 8 litters, have been a few culls of coarse but had a very high turn out compared to the other dogo kennels i had tried in the past. The PPC kennels quit breeding dogos bc Denmark outlawed them but their are still a few folks around who have the blood that I breed to when needed (for my personal or friends use).
mine are from ppc, and most are catching b/w 3-6 mo, its the only line ive owned the past 7 years since culling a few but they start early and are hard. this late starting crap is not except-able imo. if they start late why not use a scott bred ab? mine are not in the woods at that age but once their puppy teeth set and their athletic enough they are typically in the woods by 10-13 months
I'm not a Dogo guy so may I ask what PPC is? Also do you have any pics of yours that you would not mind posting. I think they are some fine looking dogs.
Appriciate it rednose, he will get his fair shot around here that's for sure!
Well he sounds like he is on the right track Art. Keep us updated on his progress, I am interested to see how he works for you.

I cant say their worth the extra money but what ive liked about them compared to other cds ive used, is vs the pits that are as athletic as the dogo with as good endurance generally are much smaller loosing the anchor. They hold clean and dont die if bay breaks etc, Compared to the AB's ive raised and love the dogos were just easier pets as far as being stubborn digging chewing around the yard. thats just generally talking of coarse and i truly like them all ... the worst thing about them imo is its hard to find good breeders that are in it for the reasons most hunters are, and when i tried to go cheap they had skin problems ie curse of the white dog
