Thanks Circle,
I US we hunted mostly with curs, and had some dogos on the ground as well. Here we have hunted a few times only dogos , but we have WAY too few opportunity to hunt them here..
. - VERY frustrating to live in Europe.
My passion is breeding the dog that makes the hunter happy, since also that dog, can function in other kind of jobs. We have couple of educated rescue dogs and sweiss dogs. Theese dogs requires the same as a hunting dogo, good temper, good agile body, health and nose.
Therefore we favourise hunters that are interested in our dogs, they are the perfect feedback, and we use their knowledge in our selections.
We have also dogos that hunts only on the ground in Japan, South Africa & Sweden. Some young dogs in US and Korea.
This is from our last hunt here in Europe, this hog was found and taken by 3 of our own dogos, the young dogo to the left is Eloy, who is now in Us. The father to him, Payo, found and stopped the boar - when we finally arrived they were all 3 on it. We ran into a flock of boars, couldn´t locate the dogos for a while and it got a bit too exciting at a certain point. Another good reason for hunting with a bay dog with the dogos. We have a black mouth cur, but she was at this time high pregnant.
We have to live LONG on this hunt, we might can only do it 2-3 times a year, if we are lucky..
This is the father to the young dog, Payo:
