How many are being produced with the goal being the whole, or the majority, of the litter being proven or culled in the woods?

 It is my opinion that there's not a dimes worth of difference between the good representatives of each breed...it's just personal preference as to what you choose to feed.

The biggest problem with the Dogo is that most breeders are not hunters and are not proving entire litters and culling and keeping only the best of the best. When the Dogo was developed the culling that would have taken place would have been massive. Today's breeders seam to want to skip that part. The hunting breeders who prove their lines on hundreds of hogs are few, but if you get a Dogo from those lines your probably going to get a pretty solid dog.

I agree that the difference between the top end dogs is small, as it is with any other "type" of dog, just like there is not much difference between a good Catahoula and a good BMC.


If I was going to buy a Dogo there would only be two or three places that dog would come from.

Thats exactly what I was saying.
