can the dogo be fixed within its own gene pool?
here is how i see it-they are too big
lots of health problems
not enough nose and hunt
dont catch and hold well
slow maturing
cost way tooooo much
thats just a start,now if you have a good one good for you.
the breed standard is a problem imo not allowing color is the cause of the ear/eye/skin problems
i believe an outcross is needed myself or 2......look at all the breeds used in the dogo-lol
i have my ideas but dont realy care i dont and wont hunt dogos anymore,had 5 diferent ones and hunted with 10-15 others...dont care to be knocked down or have my leg broken by 2 or 3 big dorks running back down the trail playing and not hunting,now you tell me has that happened to you or not?lol
i dont give a crap about purebred dogs as you can tell...i do give a crap about dogs that get'r done right now!!!!!
if your with me??? what breed/s would you use to fix the problems if it could even be done?
Your frustration reminds me of myself a long time ago when I was trying Catahoula after Catahoula!
I was down on those dogs for years and years until I hunted with some guys that had sure enough good ones!
I get on this board and I see other folks getting it done with them just fine also. I just never got a hold of the right ones is all.
Luck like that can sure leave a bad taste in your mouth about breed. I know!
