One thing I have noticed, the haters are always a bunch of Broke A$$  hillbillies bragging about thier free dogs and complaining about the price of a Dogo. Our group drop those Pits like flies! very few dont have a hole in them somewhere. Either they couldnt run across the street without having a heat stroke or they have to try and kill every dog in the pack before the night is over. We just culled another one this weekend, a good little catch dog but she attacked three different dogs in two hrs. and two of them were 8 month old pups. That first post....give me a break very littleof any of that crap was true. Just go to the pound and get you a bunch of free pits and maybe one out of 10 will make you a good dog! I dont like Catahoula's, at all, never seen one that would hunt but I dont get on these threads and bash them and ask what we need to do to the breed to make it like I want it to be. Im not a hater, they are obviousley working for a bunch of hog hunters, who am I to tell someone else what they dont have. If you dont like them dont hunt with them! If you cant afford one, get a job!

I think it has more to do with the point of diminishing returns than it has to do with someones ability to pay.

Mine are crosses with AB but this isnt about me its much bigger than that. I have a couple of buddies that own pure bred dogos from the PPC line and they are fine dogs. I like everything about them. DFWHogHunter (Chops) his Eloy dog I would put that dog up against any CD, He is fast, smart, No back up, catches ear every time, dont fight the hog, dont get tired. He is an awesome dog. Makeemsqueel has a little gyp about a yr old, same way. I crossed mine and I got just what I wanted. They wouldnt suit everyone, they are BIG about 130# They are the best handeling dogs I have ever owned, they have more manners than any I have seen anywhere. They know what they are there for and they do it! Very quietly and directly, I can catch a 300 # Boar with them and bring them home and my grandkids can ride them or grab thier tail and they will pull them through the yard and you cant make one of them fight. Whats not to like???

I believe in most cases you are right, it just get a little frustrating watching one thread after another of all the negativity about Dogos. I have one thats 16 mths old and has probably caught close to 350 hogs if he gets killed tomorrow, I got my money's worth

Dang its getting heated in here ,  . . . . . i Like pit's myself But yes they do have there faults such as the temperment, history and wind. They def. dont lack to ability to "GO GET IT", I know my pit's will defintley fullfill whatever is asked and die doing it if necesarry. I dont know alot about dogos and im sure they are good dogs. But like any Breed i think you can get sum good ones and you can get some bad ones i know i have seen some pits that straight Balled up when a pig got ahold of them. HERES A VIDEO OF SOME DOGO'S GETTIN IT IN WITH A COUGAR!!

Unfortunately, you have some Dogo breeders and enthusiasts to thank for that. They Dogo has been hyped up to be this great white unicorn, that is the end all be all of hog dogs. When in reality, they are just another working dog.

I've had a Dogo,  AB/Dogo, Pit, AB, and a Pit/AB cross. I don't have any allegiance to any of them. I like to think I pay more attention to the individual than the breed. And because I have no preference, I can be objective about them too. I do have a "type" that I prefer, and I have seen specimens of all the above mentioned breeds fit that type.  

Pick ANY breed and you will find excellent specimens, and sub par ones. You will find people who have the breeds best interest at heart, and you will find the puppy mills too.

It just happens that the Dogo has been the discussion of the week...

Cant we all just get along lol

Boar Ninja, I'm not a hill billy but I didn't care about the "BROKE ASS HILLBILLY " remark....

Back in the 1980's I tried to breed airedales for the all around hog dog and finally through in the towel. My conclusion was that they hunted but not as good as a  mtn cur and they caught but not as good as a pit. The 2 things going against me were that there were no airedale breeders that bred for hog hunting that could help my program out and the long coat was an over heating problem in the summer.

IMO, part of the Dogo problem is that it is a young breed and a lot of different breeds went in to make the DOGO. So, because it is a young breed some traits will pop up that are from this breed and at other times from another breed. That is why so many different hunters are saying different things about them. Some catch others are rough.

If I ever buy one it will be for catching and I will wait until the breeder has proven consistantly that he has a line of catching DOGOs. I'm not saying that there aren't any now but I want as many variables on my side to up my chances of getting what I want. I do not want to feed a pup for a year just to have to cull it....


When the public (back yard breeders)gets a hold of the Dogo the price will come down and I think that these dogs are so big that after a while the public in general will not want to feed a dog of this size. They will be labeled a bulldog breed....

So, you're saying the Dogo as a breed doesn't have holes

That first post....give me a break very littleof any of that crap was true.

You hunt with that guy?

It would seem from your posts that you've had exposure to a limited number of dogos, and they have been impressive. I have seen some real good ones myself, but I've seen way more culls.

By the way, I'm definitely not a "hater", I hunted with dogos exclusively as catchdogs from 2002-2006.

[ETHHunters]

Paul Im not going to touch the dogo debate as I have very limited expierence with the breed. I see where you say you have culled several pitts because of fighting and your dogos are big loving dogs. Its not really fair to compare the pitts that yall are hunting at full grown dogs to your dogos that were raised with your family and around your dogs.

[Tomball Dogos]

Look guys and gals Dogos are just like any other breed you can have good ones and bad ones you might have  a yard full of hog dogs what ever breed you might have but how many are just top self strike dogs out of all the dogs and pups you have ever had and what you call top self might be junk to some one else I like the old saying one mans junk is another man treasure since I have been on ethd there has alot of bad press on the dogo and dogo vs pit all I can say find a breeder that has the proof to back up his blood line and that will stand behind his blood line even then some things are out of our control there are alot of breeds of dogs out there I dont care for but who am I truth be told I love me some yella dogs but that is me I have said this before it is hard to beat a good pit but I would not trade my dogo for anything and I paided good money for her and she was worth every pennie because there is nothing I cant do with her but I did my home work when I was lookin for her and found someone that could show me where she came from and that was all I needed and she is all that and a bag of chips lol 

[BarrNinja]

well yall i am going out back and turn my loud mouth plott louse and run some river hogs hope he can find one and my little bull can git him caught ninja i will post pix of what i get later 

Lookin forward to them! Good luck!
