EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

...never seen so many unicorns in one place. Can honestly say for every 10 dogos only 1 hunts...lots of show dogs so I didnt really fit in.. no pics were allowed so I was not able to snap any off. But if I wanted another one I know where to go....im still on the fence if I like dogo people or not....

Well ya always got me bud , lol. I had heard it was more of a beauty comp than an actual working dog comp.

Cant respond. ..text me 832-242-8155

? Whats up?

Fixit did you go to the show itself or the HTT on Sunday?

Also your right MOST of those that were there on Sat were just show people and had/have no idea about a hunt. I know several hunters who took folks out to educate them on the use of the dogo. We "try" to educate and get show folks to hunt their lines to try to keep the dog from going the way of other once great breeds. This is why I always say if you want a hunting DOGO get one from a hunter or hunting kennel not a show kennel, and fix or cull the SOB if it doesn't work.

Missed the show. Went to hht. You might haved judged Chuy. Amy had him down as chewy. ..I was the Chicano climbing the tree..lol. was the best in show the smaller dogo wearing to old vest...for whatever reason both the dog and handler got alot of attention

Shane pm me with your contact information pls

I agree with the culling and fixing but how can anyone afford them dogs? Without a guarantee of them being a sure enough dog? Also, 90% of ppl I ve heard of ppl using them for a cd? Why spend the money for a cd

Cuz thay look cool....lol..

Not trying to stir the pot just never have wrapped my head around it, and I hardly ever see working Dogos being posted on the board

fixit I was the one in the sling

Lacy...you dont see them cuz people want to keep theirs. And how many cur dogs that are "finnished" that sell for alot more than a finnished DOGO...

If you get with the right breeder you will not have to pay the high dollar price tag. As if your a known respected hunter and have references from other dogo people and hunters they will work with you. I also agree on price tag I have not nor will I pay a high $$$$ for a dog. I have been lucky and hooked up with the right breeders and gotten dogs cheap to free. Look for hunting lines that are proven LA DOGOS on here is one who has a high working percentage. I am selling pups from proven lines myself right now and not asking an arm an leg. However with any dog or pup its a gamble on the dog. I have seen curs and Catahoula dogs being sold for $5-600 + as pups so what is the difference in them compared to a DOGO?

A good well bred DOGO should do it all. I run mine loose and they have found their own hogs. With that said I use them mostly as catchdogs but I got tired of having 50 pound earrings and had the luck to hunt with some really good dogos from the Rankin line. The problem is too many people breeding for show an no go. An folks not willing to cull dogs that should be and breeding number 2 because of the $$$$$$$.

Lacy with that said let me heal up from my shoulder surgery and let deer season get over with an I will take you out with my dogos. I'm not saying they are any good but I will feed them lol.

Hell boys I'd like to bring my nogos as well lol

now is the perfect time to start another registry or section of the registry that only proven dogs can be registered in this section/registry...and the rules should give a higher ranking for a higher level of performance...and also for the amount of generations of proven dogs behind the breeding of each Dogo...it should be an easy and economical way to test...a test that is easy to accomplish as long as it is a good dog...keeping it simple so people will go through the trouble to certify/qualify their dogs...

My dogos amaze me at times,not because there mine,just because there that good.lol i have 2 that if let run on ground both will find and stop hogs,its nice to no,that if iam a lil ways away,and them 2 are caught i know there ok.if it takes me awhile to get there.have seen them bay the boar untill they hear me coming and then catch.so if dogo bays cull him.lol not in my book,same two dogs you turn them to a bay,and you have a caught hog..

To each their own and if they make you happy so be it. However by standards they are not supposed to bay LOL. Like I said though if your happy feed them LOL.

ColeCross...I agree with that type of dog...one that has smarts...a true running catch dog that is caught on a 250 pound boar for an hour probably will not live long...will get beat down or cut up and for sure in the summer time heat the  dog will probably die of heat exposure...but catch dogs that catch and stop one and bay it until they are told to catch again or catch upon arrival is about the way I would want mine...the few true running catch dogs I was around didn't make it past 18/20 months...those that catch and then let go and bay as long as the hog stays put is a good dog to have...

Colecross I have heared of that but never seen it that's kinda awesome if ya think bout. Wish my stupid curs where that smart lol

I was sick wen i first heard my male bay,i got the gun and walked in to him,he was baying just like the curs was,he seen me he drilled hog caught ear,and layed aganst hog,i new then,i would catch a lot hogs with him,so i set out to get a female,took awhile to find one,and i started her with my male and she did wat he did,now as they have hunted awhile together now,she has more range.he was like 12 mon wen he started .

I have been working my dogo pups on thier nose. They are coming along quite nicely but finding dogo kennels from true hunters is a hard thing to find.

I was at the hunt test on Sunday and was surprised at how the Dogo had improved. I saw a few dogs that had never seen a pig before that caught clean and walked away without a scratch on a boar that had cut more experienced dogs that had seen plent of pigs before. The first hunt test I went to 9 or 10 years ago had a bunch of white Bullmastiff looking dogs that caught with zero skill or intelligence. So I think the bred is slowly improving.

I don't claim to be an expert on the Dogo. I will say that 2 of the most impressive catch dogs I have seen were Dogos. They are owned by Taylor Christian. TColt is his handle on this board. If you get an opportunity to see these 2 dogs work, it is a sight to see.

I got my DOGO  and then started hunting. Before I got him I had no idea any of this existed.  That alone should tell you something. .n

That was right at 8 yrs ago. I was there then and a BIG improvement has happened since then. I also judged then and I can honestly say I did not pass almost the same amount of dogs then as now. Although I did see more dogs try it this time then last. I don't know maybe I am picky on what I want out of a hunting dogo and why in the 14 yrs I have had them only had two litters LOL.

Thanks Shane, I was just about to ask you if you agreed...
