dogo standards ?

My male has a ton of pigment, but the hair is white. He does look like a Dalmatian (especially when he is wet) but it's just his skin showing through the hair. A general rule with the Dogos, the more pigmented skin, the less health problems, ie hearing and skin.

I could personally care less if someone bread a Dogo with black patches in its hair as long as the SOB would hunt. Too many people in the Dogo world care more about look than hunt. What they seem to forget is that according to the breed standard, the dog should hunt and catch no matter what. But then they breed dogs that only follow the looks part of the standard without seeing if the dog can handle the working part of the standard. That is why there are so many culls in the Dogo world running around. Along with them being such a young breed, it makes it easier to breed the hunt out of them.

If it was my way, people wouldn't be able to register their Dogos unless they proved them on hogs first. This would solve a lot of problems and get people who are bad for the breed (as a working dog) out of the breed. This needed to happen before AKC took over the registry though. Maybe one day the DACA will do this so that, as the breed becomes more popular, at least hunters will know what registry to go through to get pups.
