Im not sayin I dont like pits, I love pits, but most the free pits at the pound or cheap pits from a back yard breeder are culls and most the time arent even pure bred pit.
Exactly right. So what do they have to do with a real purebred pitbull?
ABDA has recently started registering pit/mastif crosses as pure pit bulls for people to enter in their sled pull competitions. A true "game bred" pit from someone who has good lines ( breeding champions with ROM) are just as costly as dogos.
I don't trust ANY registry these days. You can register a fence post if you know the right tricks.
I disagree about you having to spend 1000 - 1500 bucks on a REAL bulldog bred off a Line of real bulldogs. You can get one for a lot less than that . I'm lucky enough to know a few guys that have been breeding a line of bulldogs for a long time now and I get them for nothing on a regular basis.
I can't even imagine paying 1000-1500 bucks for a dog that offers no advantage over a bulldog and has a much higher cull percentage. In addition to all the skin problems the dogos have.
But a man has the right to spend his money however he pleases.
I have hunted with about 10 dogos and out of those I would only feed one. But now if you ask the owners of those other 9 they are AWESOME catchdogs. I guess it just comes down to standards. That and the fact that if you pay that kind of crazy money for a catchdog then you will tend to overlook the negatives and do whatever it takes to find something you like about that dog most of the time.
Now with that being said , There are plenty of bulldog culls also.
Im not really sure why all the hostility between people over breeds of dogs but I dont really care what people use as long as the dogs are workin. I like them both, the dogo just works better for me.
I hope you don't think I was at all being "hostile" toward you or your dog, Not at all brother. I have no problem whatsoever with what a man chooses to feed. If it works, it works...
I was just pointing out a few things about your dog that you yourself said that made me wonder about what he really was.
He's the size of a pitbull. Your vet thought he was a pitbull. He's built like a pitbull. You can't get in touch with the guy you bought him from. You didn't pay a dogo price for him. And the number one thing is you said he catches good and holds.
Do you have a pic of soco that you don't mind posting...
