La Historia Dogo
|
Paul, you summed it all up in saying what hunters use the word fight for, unfotunately slang doesn't translate well through the internet.
Here is the websters definition and what I mean for "fight", and probably what the doctor who wrote the quote I used, and as for the doctor who translated the original work, I would be inclined to believe he chose the right wording. But I will look for the original and try to post it. I know Birgitte has lots of historical dogo 'stuff' maybe she can get us the untranslated quote.
Fight- to engage in battle or in single combat; attempt to defend oneself or to subdue, defeat or destroy an adversary.
So when you or I use fight as Websters does, you get the idea that the dogo doesn't have to tear a boar to pieces to catch and hold with one solid attempt and work from there to SUBDUE, DEFEAT OR DESTROY AN ADVERSSARY. Sounds very similar to the whole purpose of the dogo to find, catch, and if necessary kill their prey.
As I have said before, this may not be the best for every hunter, maybe none here. But I as a Dogo ENTHUSIAST, and one who hopes to PRESERVE the dogo in its ORIGINAL form, will always be striving for what the creators envisioned.
I too do not expect my dogos to regrip ever, especially once I am close. I expect them to get a good grip and try to bring the boar to its knees.
