Bring on the questions, Scott, I will answer them as good as I can.

I guess the 5 questions in the earlier post is a good place to start, so here they are:
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)
Im gonna say this again! do you go through that checklist when you are buying a pit C/D? I am sure there are a few Pit breeders out there that have kept up with those stats you mentioned but I am quite sure when someone needs a CD in general they put out the word they need a CD then they buy it by word of mouth or they try the dog out. If you have a Pit breeder that has a data base to answer all your criteria then you will be hard pressed to find a finished CD that meets all your demands for under $1000 now you are right back to whats going on with the dogos.
I already answered, but I'll say it again as well. Yes, I do. The old dogmen I deal with when I want or need an APBT can give you more information about each individual dog they own/breed spanning multiple decades. What's more, they are very selective on who they allow own a pup/dog of theirs. And, no, if you can get a dog from them...you aren't going to spend that kind of coin.
Do I think that the majority of hunters would ask those questions regarding any dog/pup they are interested in? Not in a chance.
Either way, I think prudent to ask questions before you spend your hard earned money.
