big chris, she thought he was a cross then he was ten weeks old, he didnt look anything like that, just a soft little ball with legs, he looked like your typical dogo pup. full grown he is 23 inches at the withers.
chainrated, thank you, I think he is quite good looking myself! Bein an athlete myself, Im actually a little jealous of how easily he gets so shredded haha! I got to get some pictures of him in shape! Maybe you get yourself a little dogo runt and you fall in love haha! But I can 100% grantee he aint got any pit in him. I think he would be a damn good cross over an athletic cur or game bred pit though!
ugly dog, I think there is many faults in the breed. When I was lookin for a pup I decided to talk to other people to see what they had, just being curious. I had one breeder try to sell me an 8 mo old pup that was unilaterally deaf the had great "hunting drive" for $1500!!!!! Are you fing kiding me!?!?!? This is the exact reason the dogo is the way it is. I have hunted behind seven dogos, mine which I got lucky on, to of cwhite which are unregistered but 100% dogo, three pups out of cwhites breeding which were all good except for the one that was abused and he was a good as far as the hunt went, and pauls addi dog. The pup i am going to get is out of the same stock as pauls addi dog. I will be the first to admit that I dont have alot of experience with dogos, but I do have experience with some good dogos. So most of the dogs I have hunted behind are the same blood, cwhites blood (5 out of the 7). Which is the way it should be, when you breed proven lines, you end up with hog dogs.
My point is, the problem with dogos is it is a "popular" breed due to its looks. I have a feeling the dogo may be the next pit when it comes to "tough gangster dogs" unfortunately. There are too many people out there breeding the dogo for looks and not working ability.
Another point I would like to make, is that when you do get a good dogo, they are hard to beat. I have seen too many "back yard" pits culled. I would love to own a pit, I think a GOOD pit could find its place in a pack of mine any day. But for the places I hunt (hogs always running except when I head east to txhogsanddogs land) MY dogo and the dogos I have hunted with work best for me.
I do not think that dogos are the end all be all hog dogs. With my dog soco, he has great speed for your typical cd, damn good nose, good conformation, and too much drive to hunt him on his own in most places I hunt. So I plan on crossing him with a stag hound, then I will have the end all be all hog dog haha, just kidding. But those are my plans for him. Probably crossin on stag him then crossing him back to a daughter to get 3/4 soco 1/4 stag. Hopefully ending up with some 80 lbs dogs with alot of speed. I think two of these dogs running with one or two good cur dogs would be jam up!
Pit bulls, like I said before I love pits, but I have seen soooo many pits be culled (backyard pits) No one I know buys a pit except for the $35 charge at the pound. More pits than I could shake a stick at, I have seen culled. So my point in bringing that up is that the pits that everyone talks about that are a dime a dosen, the majority of them are a cull. Now, there are some good ones that come from the animal shelter. But If you breed good working pits, you should sell them to good working homes. Not your first time dog owner, or someone who wants to look tough walking a pit bull down the street.
The best thing anyone can do for a breed is sell them to working homes only and cull hard, weather it be pit, ab, dogo, This would cut down on culls from all the breeds and we would see more of what they would really do. Giving a working bred dog to a non working home only does the breed injustice and is asking for trouble. In my opinion not enough breeders of any breed do this...
