500 or more does not make sense to me or most other hunters for a catch dog puppy. If breeders are ut to make better dogs then why charge that much for pup?
It is very expensive to import dogos to this country much less the time and energy it takes to find the ones you want. I could never charge what I payed for my Dogos to other people but I also know what I have and am not going to just allow anyone to have them.
I would say you are getting a good deal for that price on a pup if it is from a good line. A finished dogo sells for $3000 + around here. I understand that some think that is a lot of money but that is a drop in the bucket for what I have seen bay pen dogs sell for. $125,000 for a dog that doesn't hunt. Now that is expensive
Dogos are not for everyone that is for sure.
