This is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.


I would not want to run a Dogo(or any catch dog for that matter) with a cur that has any range or bottom, as I don't want to risk having the catch dogs caught for extended periods of time before I get there. A couple of examples I can think of, getting into multiple bay/ catch situations where you have to fight your way to one bay to kill the hog, before you can begin making it to the next bay. Or having them catch across a river/swamp that might take a while to get across.

So run a cur or two so you can hear the bay.
  I can't think of too many bay dogs that I have seen that continue to bark once the catch dog it caught. Most either help with the catch, or roll out looking for another hog.

   It works for plenty of people that run rough/ catchy cur dogs, and I would say that they get used to going through some dogs.  Is that something you are willing to risk after finding and raising the right dogo pups?


My thoughts may be overly simplistic, and have some faults, but the basics are this.

Long range or dog with lots of bottom needs to be loose baying. Problem with this, is it requires large properties, as the hog may travel some distance before baying.

Short range, minimal bottom, might as well have a rough dog, or dogo that will shut the hog down as soon as it's found. This style can sure help you stay on a smaller property without getting on the neighboring place.
