i use pits and only because its too expensive to replace a dogo when and if it happens, i had two dogos out of some good hunting stock, i know that the dogo is breed to hunt, they have a mix of hounds and terriers in them the bulldog look does not mean they r a bulldog i see people leading them in when the potential for an excelllent strike dog is there they have a very cold nose. these r the dogs that make a dogo, irish setter, english bulldog, great dane, bull mastiff, boxer great white pyrenese, english pointer, i think i got it all n there but the two i had were ground dogs and would strike and catch there own hogs great with my other dogs but i paid 2000 for them they were both fataly injured on the same hogs they have no fear and ran in a group down in a dry creek bank i guess mating cuz there were like 5 big boars and three or 4 sows and that was that they were very aggresive hunters and lovers at home never no problems with my other dogs but maybe not every case hope that helps
forgot that the base of this breed was the cordoba fighting dog i thinks thas how you spell it
