  Our Dogo " OL'Grip", over heated and died a couple of days later, it was too hot to be hunting there were heat warnings out but I went anyway thinking I could get out before it got too hot. Nearly stroked the Plotts and my mule as well, just should have stayed home.
  Grip was a pleasure to be around, quiet at home, zero dog, livestock, or man aggression, used him solo almost explicitly and never needed question if a hog could get loose once caught, catch one in the water in cold weather just hook a rope to him and fish him and the hog out while staying dry, no leash needed, no need to worry about them with puppies running loose either not even at feeding time. Long story short we'll miss him.
  Had his uncle previously same story, he died at 8 yrs old with cancer. Had Grip's mother as well no dog, man nor livestock aggresion but did not use her as much as I had given her to my daughter to replace her bulldog I had gotten killed. Used her enough to see she would catch a big hog and stay  caught while taking a licking then bred her to Chris Scotts Ceaser male and raised Grip.
  I have a gyp pup here now out of Grip but don't like her as well as the other 3, she is pretty hyper and I don't like that, figure it'll make her a lot harder to get to handling like I prefer, time will tell.
  I have heard all the stories about the Dogo's and don't doubt them at all but I have had really good results with those mentioned.
