My hunt tonight is an example of what I like in a Dogo. Hunted here at the house and I rode my saddle Mule, I had 3 bay dogs and Adora my dogo running on the groung with them. I trotted out to the pasture and all dogs hunt on the run untill they are out of sight, I lope on another 1/2 mile and start tracking. I they check in with me 1 3/4 miles from where we started. I head the other way working the wind at a lope all dogs hunting ahead, dogs are checking a canyon when I see a small hog moving through the pasture, so I sit tight and the Dogo is the first dog to check back in. I lope about 300 yds and Adora can see the hog and catches him on the run as I am loping behind. Bay dogs show up but the deal is done. Adora has been running for at least 3 miles before she first saw the hog, hog had 100yd head start and she caught him on the run 150 yds later. Then a mile trot back to the house. Thats 4 miles that I traveled more for the dogs and one hog in less than an hour and she was far from out of gas.
