dogo/pit cross

Any dog that catches good and solid is a good dog, regardless of breed. I've had catch dogs for 25 years. One man's good catch dog is another man's average dog, is another man's junk. Have never had a straight dogo, but have had 2 dogo/pit crosses and they were both REAL GOOD. Have had a few AB's that were good catch dogs and several that were NOT. One of the best catch dogs I ever saw was a registered Catahoula. I had the FBMCO registered dog named "Benson's Clyde". He would catch and hold any hog. It really just comes down to how much you want to spend, what do you expect, how big do you like, what problems can you put up with, lead-in vs RCD, etc. etc. etc. If I had to pick only one breed, it would be pit because they consistently make the best catch dogs in the highest percentages. But there are guys with dogos that are consistently good, and AB's that are consistently good. The real debate shouldn't be over what breed is best . . . but what breeder culls the hardest, because there are superstars and garbage in all breeds. I agree that dogos would be an expensive route to take just to get lead-in catch dogs, but for RCD's I guess they are great. But all pits do not make good catch dogs. Primary example would be REAL GAME BRED PITS. They often DO NOT make good catch dogs because they want to fight a hog instead of just catch it and hold it, and they want to fight the cur dogs at the bay. But most pits at the pound are NOT high dollar prized game bred pits, so YES pits from the pound more times than not . . do work out. So there is truth in several statements made on this topic.
