1. How long have they been breeding Dogos - since 1991.
2. Do they actively work/test their breeding stock: yes, under the limited possibilities we have here in Europe ( the dogo is not allowed to hunt with in EU countries here), therefore we also value a lot the feedback we get from the hunters who work the dogs they get from us. These are hunters in Sweden, Korea, Usa, and South Africa.
3. How many litters have they whelped - I joined with Peter in 1999 and in these 11 years we made 24 litters.
4. Total number of pups produced, and how many have been placed in hunting homes -
in those 11 years around 170 pups: we kept ourselves 14, 6 is with other hunters, 18 with breeders.
We send our first dogo to a hunter in 2005, Recado to Marvin Garrett, so out of the litters from 2005-2010, 25 left to boar hunters.
Back in 1994 Peter started testing his dogs.
5. How many culls (in other words turn out percentage of each litter):
can not say, since there are many who are not hunted or tested on a boar, the rest of the dogs are living as family members, with people who work them in obedience, tracking, sweiss, rescuework.
But I can say as I did before, all the dogs we selected for the hunters are working as the owner want him to, and the ones we tested ourselves and hunted ourselves are very well functionning.
We have 5 generations of our blood in our kennel, we had most of the dogs in the pedigree in our hands, we know our dogs in and out.
