"One Out" Presa Canario's

MikeA,

To get what you want and to get where you want to be you need to immerse yourself in hog hunting and show/hunt your dogs to everyone out there. Being in El Paso is not helping you one bit. Kinda like promoting an off-shore boat in a stock tank if you know what I mean. If you really want to get your dogs into hog hunting then you are going to have to be prepared to travel to East, South, and North Texas and make hunts with folks and show those dogs hogs in free range places. PArts of West Texas are getting hogs and some already have them thick, but nothing like the East, North, and Coastal Bend areas of the state. To get the breed the recognition you are looking for you will need to get them to do what you say they can in front of a LOT of people. Then be prepared to offer them at a price that can fit a hog hunter's budget. Lastly, you will have to be prepared mentally for what may happen if they take off in popularity.....I'm talking about crossing with other breeds to pull desired traits from each. Dogo's are popular in hog hunting but far more as part of a cross rather than pure. Just do a search for "dogo" on this website and see how many people use dogo blood but how few use pure Dogos.......Some people that breed for pedigrees cant handle seeing that. Hog hunters will take a dog and cross it to better suit their needs if they see fit.....They (we) see function alot higher than a piece of paper signed by some club or organization. Of course, this is all putting the cart before the horse because there is a LOT of proving ahead of you if you are serious about doing what you say you are.

Or you can always go the: I'll hunt my way cuz it suits me just fine. route. All depends on what you are really doing and wanting.
