dogos are only a baby compared to the AB much less the pit.
In relation to the APBT yes, I agree. In relation to the AB...not so much.
As far as the Dogo breeders go, I'd want to know quite a few things before I'd put my name on a waiting list. Things like:
1. How long have they been breeding Dogos
2. Do they actively work/test their breeding stock
3. How many litters have they whelped
4. Total number of pups produced, and how many have been placed in hunting homes
5. How many culls (in other words turn out percentage of each litter)
and those are just 5 quick, off the top of my head. As with any working breed, don't believe any fantastic stories. If it sounds too good to be true....most often, it is.
Hey Scott, how many people do you think go through your check list when they are looking for a Pit CD? My guess would be not very many! Another thing about your AB comment I have a 14mth old AB/Dogo named Max that has caught over 200 hogs from shoats to 400 pounders and most of them by himself. He weighs between 130-140, I have yet to see him cull or be dragged off by a hog! For the record those waiting list dogs Grant is talking about will be 100% PPC Dogo blood and they will be out of Proven Catch Dogs.
I don't know how many would go through that list for an APBT, but I would...for any breed/pup/dog that I was interested in.
Not sure which AB comment you are referring to? But, it sounds like you have a pretty good dog there.
And since you are recommending PPC Dogos....here's an example of what I'm referring to regarding the aforementioned questions. Here's a quote from PPC Dogos from another board:
"we have selected very hard on temperament and health in 20 years, we send 25 dogs out to hunters, and NOT one of them failed or had to be culled."
IMO, there's quite a few questions that arise from that statement....
