Dogo breeders

[dub]

This is not a Pit vs Dogo discussion!

I would like to find out who breeds Dogos for hunting. I want to get a couple puppies. I am not in a hurry I just want to make sure I get good dog. With it taking about two years before I can really use them I really want to see the parents hunt. I also want them to be at the top of weight range. The Dogos I have seen hunt I really like. I also really like the personality. So I am trying to go see more hunt to figure out where I want to get a puppy. It is not who is the best. It is all opinion so really no arguing.

Dub,
 
   There are several members here who hunt and breed dogos.

The only one that I can recommend does not breed the dogos on the upper end of the size/weight range, so I don't think he would work for you.

 Marvin aka La Dogo hunts and breeds large dogos...I haven't ever hunted behind one, so I can comment on the personally.

Not True! I know a guy that hunts his as a pack! I just bred one of my females to one of his. If you are interested I can put you in touch with him or I will be having pups the 1st of Oct.

I usually keep one on leash / rhino , and one or two on the ground running with the curs.  The reason why most hunters that have dogos also have curs is because in my opinion is two reasons ,  

1. Nose,  Curs typically have a better nose than dogos just like a hound typically has a better nose than a cur.

2. Range, Curs typically will run a track farther / longer than most dogos.  Just as a marithon runner can run longer than a NFL linebacker .    

At least from my experiances anyway for whatever thats worth . .

My money says the yella dog to the back left in this pic is a cur dog.

I have hunted with US Hog and I have seen them hunt. That is why I want to get some. I am not sure they are better than a cur at finding. But having the catch dog at the bay is good. I just don't hear them bark. So run a cur or two so you can hear the bay. The hunting ability is more important than being the biggest. But put 100 lbs on each ear and a cur baying, life is good. It is just a lot of time and food to get them there. But after watching them hunt I think it will be worth it.

This is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth.


I would not want to run a Dogo(or any catch dog for that matter) with a cur that has any range or bottom, as I don't want to risk having the catch dogs caught for extended periods of time before I get there. A couple of examples I can think of, getting into multiple bay/ catch situations where you have to fight your way to one bay to kill the hog, before you can begin making it to the next bay. Or having them catch across a river/swamp that might take a while to get across.

So run a cur or two so you can hear the bay.

  I can't think of too many bay dogs that I have seen that continue to bark once the catch dog it caught. Most either help with the catch, or roll out looking for another hog.

   It works for plenty of people that run rough/ catchy cur dogs, and I would say that they get used to going through some dogs.  Is that something you are willing to risk after finding and raising the right dogo pups?


My thoughts may be overly simplistic, and have some faults, but the basics are this.

Long range or dog with lots of bottom needs to be loose baying. Problem with this, is it requires large properties, as the hog may travel some distance before baying.

Short range, minimal bottom, might as well have a rough dog, or dogo that will shut the hog down as soon as it's found. This style can sure help you stay on a smaller property without getting on the neighboring place.

Depending on where I hunt is how l use her l can leave her on the ground or lead her in it is nice to have the option

[DubbleRDawgs]

Chris i think that dog you are calling a cur is a champion ridgeback jmo .. i dont know where that breed falls in find or catch ?? just my .02

[dub]

I believe that is her Ridgeback. It is all about options.

[Circle C]

The red dog looks like a ridgeback, but is the yellow one a ridgeback too?

[Circle C]

This one?

[de_moon]

Looks like a cur dog to me

[dub]

I bet the person that took the pic knows what dogs were there. But that is exactly what I am talking about. I do think a cur is better at finding pigs. So getting them to work together you have a pig stopping team. It is just getting good dogs that can get'r done!
