mike you know i value your opinion and highly respect you, but do you think there is a possiblity that you and many other dogo nay sayers look at them with a fine toothed comb?
meaning because of their high price and their claims of being the 'ultimate' hog dog that people expect more of them than they do other breeds. i think that the curring out part is pretty much equal for most breeds, catching all over is a training thing, human aggression i think is the way they have been raised, dog aggression(can't be any higher than pit bulls), hearing problems and bad skin problems(they probally rank the highest of all hog dog breeds in these two categories).
maybe i just think of the dogos i've seen(which admittedly isn't a ton)and they haven't shown any of these problems(sorry one that i bought did). most if the ones that i've seen are true to type, their only fault is that they are smaller than your 'typical' dogo. i actually like that. i've seen them catch 350lb boars and they do just as good as any big dog.
i say these things not to defend the dogo but to offer some extra things to think about. it seems that we have inflated expectations of the dogo cause of the price tag or rather we are less exforgiving when they dont pan out.
Its the fantastic claims you guys keep making. They should at least be able to do what they were bred for more consistenly. Esp for the amount of money people ask for em.
