Marvin,
I've had the rescue for over three years. There are five dogos at my house with a sixth one on the way. With all due respect I know dogos and know and hunt with people who've been hunting with them for nearly two decades. All that I've seen from dogos that started out as hunting lines/catching lines and have been bred for hunting, want to catch by 6 months. That you would talk about dogos vs pits that way says something about where your dogos come from and what you haven't seen. I have noticed that people that have mastiff like dogos over 100lbs talk about them being slower to get started.
Maybe a great guy, but listen to what he has to say about dogos, I have other mentors.
I didn't mention anything about pumas (Ivan did), but to say the puma is "Hype"? Not everyone puts videos on youtube. The point is the dogo can have his guts ripped out, but he won't quit till he's dead.
Mataco , Reread my post , I NEVER said i havent seen pups turn on at an early age, NEVER . All i Said was there is a LOT more HYPE about the breed than reallity ! ! Go back and look at any of my post or weeb site and you will find or see that ALL of my dogos have started early and have been in the woods at an early age . But that isn't anything SPECIAL, it is what they are suppose to do. You have an open invitation to come over and we will go hunting and talk dogos. And mybe then i could explain myself for you to understand what im trying to say. I have had pups that started at an early age , Late age and everywhere in between. I cull hard and hunt even harder. My point was exactly that a full grown unaltered puma with all of his claws will kill a DOGO or any other dog for that matter before the water even gets hot. Just don't beleive everything you read in books or see on video or hear breeders telling you. MOST, not all, are in it to SELL dogs and make money. Again you are welcome to come hunt with me anytime and bring your dogs .
