I have seen dogos very "TYPY" as some breeders name them, totally USELESS for hunting, not able to move correct, without stamina, and for sure not able to hunt in a group. Very dogagressive.
If a breeder is so focused about TYPE only, you loose the most important tool for hunting. Temperament, heart, health should come first. You can not hunt a dogo who will fight the other dogs, if he do not have a good temperament, he is useless for hunting. If he is not healthy...well then forget about how "Good" the TYPE is.
Josh, We have seen tons of dogos who will catch and fight the boar in a pen, but who never could be taken out in the woods with other dogs, THIS you only can select on, if you have seen your dogos social around dogs out hunting, around your other own dogos, and ALSO dogs from other hunters.
From theese TYPE breeders you seldom see dogos actually out hunting.
The dogo have a fighting reputation, which is quite understandable, if you look on Youtube, many finds it a sport to use the dogo as a ring gladiator against boar/puma. Yes, they are might good as catchers theese dogos, but does this make them hunters ? I know the answer...
If the dogo should live up to its "PEDISTAL" it is about time breeders start to look at their breedingstocks temperament, way too many dogos are weak tempered, insecure, dog agressive some even not trustful to man.
This breed is magic.!!!!
..many newcommers in the breed believes they KNOW IT ALL from the day they get a dogo pedigree in their hand, and BINGO from day one they also call themselves a dogo breeder
....even if the dog is only 9 weeks old...
Here is our and Marvins, Deangelo with Marvins Recado, their first hunt together:
