Hey guys,I live in Wyoming and a guy told me about the Dogo. I was just wondering your opinions on this breed. I was thinking of getting one and as a family/hunting companion. I was just curious how they are with kids, at hunting, ect. I would be using it for coon hunting and maybe pheasant also I hear they are pretty good all around hunters. I can not find Dogo's around here so nobody is familiar with them any info would be great thanks.

I have had dogos for years now and I can honestly say I have never seen them used for coons or birds LOL. Hogs, cows, cougars, and police dogs, but never that LOL. Other then that if you get one from the right breeder with a solid reputation your good to go. If not your playing a crap shoot getting what you want. Too many "breeders" breeding for the show and money but not the go. Read the breed standards, go meet some dogos in person from a reputable HUNTING breeder, and then make a decision. If your just wanting a family pet then the SHOW breeders should be able to help you with that or consider a rescue.

Check out red river dogo's.... I have two full dogo's from them and a dogo cross from them.... They work great on hogs....I also have two boys 5 and 7. Never had a problem with them around my boys.... You might think about the size of the dogo.... Very large and strong... At times can be a pain in the a$$ when leading...

I'm not claiming to be an expert by any stretch, but way I understand it dogos were bred to hunt anything they csme across cuz poeple who developed them (in argentina) were hunting for food. Not sport. Dogos are BIG dogs and are not supposed to be bay dogs. They are run down and grab dogs that hunt in groups.

We own a Dogo. The Dogo Argentino is built like a great athlete, capable of distance running but still strong enough to fight and take down prey. Most Dogo’s have a great temperament towards humans, but it’s a good idea to have them socialized early. They can be very territorial, hardheaded, with a high prey drive so you’d have to be firm. I know the Dogo has a great nose but isn’t a long distance “scent hound” like you’d need for that type of hunting. But as far as having one as a family companion goes, I think the Dogo is a loving guardian to his family but a fierce hunter to his partner. Do your research and good luck!

I understand you wanting a dogo. I have two and love em. But what's the point in using em for coons and birds? Lot of other breeds out there that would fit that mold better and probably eat less food lol! We are about to have another litter of dogo HOG DOGS. If you are interested lemme know but I'd try to talk you out of it first lol. I'm in Okc oklahoma btw

i understand you want a dogo...
but.... for what you are wanting a dog for i would go with a german shorthair pointer or a draather.
they have both bird dog instinct and prey drive on game, plus they are loyal to and bond well with a handler and family.
second choice is split between these two.
if you were going have one on fur more often than birds, a mountain cur may be the ticket, get a well bred pup and start it early on birds, they are intelligent enough to be dual purpose if prepared correctly.
also, don't count out an airedale, the hunting bred airedales have been used for fur, birds, and home protection since their infancy as a breed.
all three are loyal, intelligent breeds that have a well documented history of being excellent multi taskers and farm and ranch all rounders.
