The footage I have is not internet material, I have spoken to people that were present at the testing of the footage I have seen and I know that these puma were intact. I think the puma video on the net is a 9-12month old dogo. Not sure about the claws. As for the curled tusk not cutting, I don't know what normally happens but I can assure you this boar did damage. Both with pokes bites and just general wrestling. As a matter of fact, it killed a dog that was put up against it.  As I said, this is not footage that will be shared as it is not mine to do so.  The point was, I have seen video of dogos being tested as hard, if not harder than other breeds. Also I have spoken to people who first hand have been at these sessions.  Believe it or not, an adult puma of 60-70 kilos against a dogo will need to use his back legs more for balance, than the "gutting" most people think that they do.  Obviously each animal differs, but if the dogo has the right drive, the pressure that he/she will bring to the puma will force it to not use its hind legs in that manner otherwise it will give up much more vulnerable parts of its body through a lack of balance. The back of the neck and head will be easier for the dogo to grab.

Also that is the point of the dogo to fight its prey, not just hang on. Think about a chess match. When you are constantly on the defensive you typically don't do well offensively. Same in this situation, a Dogo should constantly be pushing its prey, so that they aren't working on banging the dogo up, just trying to stay alive. Like a puma trying to protect its neck and head isn't going to be thinking about killing the dogo.  Plus wild animals typically are flight animals, since they need to live another day, not like a dog, who will be taken home or to the vet to be fixed and have time to recoup. More self preservation.

Side note: Its 103 degrees in NY, not gonna need to adjust the dogs to climate lol.
