Yup, some of the best help dogs on the scene today are dogos. They however are no fit for an all black and tan hog hunting crew. Uniformity and confirmation are the keys to catching hogs. Just look at nature, you ever see a pride of lions take down a buffalo and see a spotted lion come in just to grab ear? Of course not, that's just silliness. |

Ought to work great if you hunt small hogs in about 10-15 high fenced acreage during deer season when it's cool.

Marines I see as two breeds, Rottweilers or Dobermans, because Marines come in two varieties, big and mean, or skinny and mean. They're aggressive on the attack and tenacious on defense. They've got really short hair and they always go for the throat.

Lol.... Sorry guys but a jag would rip a rotts balls off...anyways a rott was not breed for hogs or the stamina it needs to be a hog stopper....but like I've heard many time it's not the breed it's the dog so give it he'll....
Clearly you have never seen a good Rott or you would not say that. When I had Rotts they were not cheap and they did not have fat. It is the genes and the food. I see so many short fat dogs they want to call a Rott. The ones I had were all business. They are very smart and you can teach them almost anything. They are natural hearders and if raised right will have no fear at all of anything. But that does not mean they will make a good hog dog or not. just because it has papers and is a Rott does not mean it is in the same class as others. I only dealt with dogs bread to be guard dogs and I would bet you have not seen a Rott like them. There are some out there if you have the money. I just don't know about their hunt. They are a hearding dog not a hunting dog. It is a whole different game. They were used for cattle in Europe. Have you seen the pastures over there? But they are not German. They were brought by the Romans. They were first a war dog. That is the true value of a Rott. If raised correctly they are completely fearless and will die for their master. A war dog may have many similar traights as a hunting dog but they do not have the drive to go find prey like a hunting dog. So the bottom line in my opinion is that Rotts are great dogs but I don't think they would make a good hunting dog. |

I had one that was as smart as anydog. What ever I needed her to do she did it to please me. Catch cows, hogs, round up with us although every 20 min rounding up she would take a dip. She was the best dog I ever owned for that reason I would never get another. In my eyes I don't think I would ever get another like that, she set the standard high for that particular breed. If any Rott could do half the things she could they would be a heck of a dog.

when it gets down to the nut cutting most people on here are afraid to think outside the box and try something different. I would try one if it was a young pup.
Its not all about the pits or curs

And that's fine, it's your time to waste. Maybe you'll roll the dice and win a time or two, but eventually you'll have to cut your losses and get out of the game. It IS all about the curs and the pits & if more folks would dedicate their lives to building the best curs they can instead of trying to reinvent the wheel... No offence intended, but curs and pits are the backbone of this sport for a reason. |

Do what YOU want to do ! You dont need anybody elses approval . I think its a waste of time but I could be wrong. Ive seen two that were used on hogs and both of them would put you in a bind because they wouldnt lock when they caught. They would catch and hold for a few seconds and then let go and catch again and then do it again and again. When a catch dog catches it should stay caught. Old spot might work for you and I hope he does but Im going to go with what I know works. BULL DOG ! Or Cur, Cur cross. Good Luck.

They may work as catch dogs. I have no doubt they can do that. For Rotts do not let them get hurt before one year old. You can ruin one if they get hurt too young. After a year you don't have to worry about them. I bet you can get them to release on command or bring the pig to you. I am not going to do it but knock yourself out if you want to.
