I just got my first one this year and he is 6 months old right now and wound up like a nine day clock!! My plans were just to use him as a lead in catch dog, just as I do my pits. Do some of you guys actually hunt yours out with your cur dogs or buy them self?
All the above if I am walk hunting they run loose, road hunting small acreage they run loose, turned out to a bay, and also as the main dogs. Mine are versatile, but have never been led in. |

I start sending my young dogs to caught hogs in the field at 9-10 months. At 11 months I start to send them first with finished dog right behind. By 12-14 months they should be good as main line dog if they have had enough catches under their belt.
Teeth should be real solid at 12 months.
You should think of a dogo as a straight catch cur dog. They should have quite a bit of hunt drive and really want to run and hunt. Some are dead serious early on but some can be playful like what you are describing. I try and let my young ones run down to hunt/run with my curs all I can to burn off that energy in a productive way and teach they to go look. A pup like that will not do well on leash, they want to hunt.
Just curious, you ever send them dogos on cattle. do they have any sort of "herding" instinct. |

A good Dogo should be, or can be, hunted just like a cur dog.
They can be very versatile dogs that can be hunted many different ways.
If I am hunting country I can get around in pretty good, and its not to hot, I run mine down.

Never led mine in. I walk hunt alot and hes loose. If small property hes loose. I dont like him too far though. I fell I need to get to him quick. If he hit a sounder and he grabs one I dont want him to get jacked up by others. Good thing about a (good) dogo thay can hunt too. Makes it fun. But I will never let him go far from me..
from me.....who else. tapatalk

They will bunch some up and then look for the catch. Singles are straight catch. I have a couple of 1/2 bloods I have used to catch cattle with. They will put a big grown cow on the ground and hold her for you. |
