Whats special about a Dogo?

Dogos are a bull dog, but I treat mine like a cur dog that is strait catch. If you get a good one they can be very versatile dogs. Sometimes I hunt mine alone, sometimes they run with the curs, sometimes they get sent from the truck, sometimes they are lead in cd.

The only reason the price of dogos is so high is because with dogos, all people see a big pretty white dog and then nothing but dollar signs. There are some good breeders out there that won't charge an arm and a leg for a good hunting dogo pup, but they are few and far between.

Another problem is, breeders don't prove their stock. Its all about the "investment" and protecting the "investment". So someone gets a pup for however much, they either don't prove it or it turns out to be a cull, but they breed it anyway to get a return on their "investment", and all they do is produce sub par dogs with sub par dogs. In my opinion, if the dog aint proven or it is a cull, then the "great big white investment" might as well be a great big white roll of toilet paper.

Now what has happened, is these people with sub par dogs that are their "breeders", are putting sub par dogs in other peoples hands (for a substantial amount of money), the dog doesn't turn out, and those people bad mouth the dogo. Do I blame them for bad mouthing the dogo? Heck no, I would too if I was in that position. Am I saying that breeding proven dogs to proven dogs is fool proof? No, there is culls in every breed in every breeding (usually). Look at game dogs, people have been trying to consistently breed "game" into their dogs for hundreds of years without 100% turn out. True gameness is rare in any breed, but breeding for a return on an "investment" damn sure doesn't help the cause.
