I think this would be a great cross. If you have a stagXdogo I think it would be even better. You would keep plenty of power with those four breeds and bring more speed to the equation. Most Danes I have seen got some speed but not much agility. Throw it to the stag cross if you can, all the drive and size in the world ain't gonna make a difference if the dog can't catch up to the hog.
Some Dogos are real fast and some ain't quite got it. How is the Dogo bitch built? 70 lbs, and how tall. What's her confirmation like? Long neck, long legs are a big bonus for this type of dog, makes it easier for the dog to have a clean holding style and steer clear of cutters. Try and put her on some pigs in the open and see what her speed is like.
The way I see it, you need dogs with good speed and good lounge along with the drive. The speed needs to be way up on the list though. The difference in a dog catching a hog before a tree line and five hundred yards into the tree line can be a huge difference in time from caught hog to hog on the ground.
There is alot to consider when doing any kind of breeding. I would keep my goals small and achievable for every breeding, keep as many pups as you can, and cull hard.
How are you planning on using these dogs? Hay fields, woods? I'm really interested in your breeding plans, keep us updated!
