Dogo breeders

[make-em-squeel]

bignasty enlighten a texas boy as to what the heck you consider a dogo to be, if its not a bulldog...a hound? Out of the many dogs that make up the breed their are mostly bulldogs then mastiff/boxer/dane/pyrinese.... BUT to a TEXAS BOY the dog on the leash with a cut vest on is considered the bulldog.

dub i would look at silverton boar dogs, us hogs, ladogos, ppc dogos or folks like me that have a spin off of these hunters/breeders who have done all the hard work for us. I have actually been pleased with the male and female we got from ppc for size for endurance etc...my gyp is 75 lbs and the male is 90 in hunting shape. Generally i think their dogs are a little bigger than this but our 2 are built to run......

Dub- I know in your OP you say you would like to see the parents work but if you are willing to do business in Hawaii I will give you a number of a guy who runs a pack of Dogos as "Drop the tailgate" style dogs along with his house Jack Russel/Jagd! He brings out the bacon so I ain't one to judge his style!

Some say you can't run Dogos only

dub, you can come hunt with me any time. I have two females, and I can run them anyway you would want depending on the country. My good female Adore came from Marvin. She has a very good nose, a bunch of hunt, and is extreamly fast. If I were you I would listen to the folks here who hunt Dogos. Many of us hunt areas that are very well suited to running Dogo's and it really makes no difference if you run some curs with them or not.

I'm too new to talk intelligently about any of the hunting aspects of Joes Dogos but I can tell you every one of them has great temperaments & handle nice. I've watched them scenting & working tracks. I've never seen them trash & every one I've watched work is a catching machine. Mentally his dogs are great. Hunting - well the proof's in the pudding isn't it? Feral hog removal is his business, he's got plenty of clients and a good track record.

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

The red one is the champion ridgeback. I do have a yellow ridgeback too, but I left him at home. One catches, one bays so we kind of straddle the fence there.

[rdjustham]

look at the post on our first hog by machinesoldlady ,i didnt see any curs..

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

And id say upper right is a ridgeback.

I too am going to purchase 1 or more dogos in the future and was wondering the same, just didnt want to get in on all the arguin.

Might be a good thread if we can keep the highjacking down,haha

 paul i think  you got that right i enjoy the reading   but my  2 cents i think there are other breeds or cross that can do any thing  a dogo can     i had to stir  the pot lol that my highjacking

The best advice you can get regarding any dog/breed/bloodlines you are interested in is to go see the stock for yourself. Evaluate them in the woods, and not just once, or one breeder. Visit/hunt with several, that way you know exactly what you should get. Keep in mind, there are culls in every single litter...stack the deck in your favor by doing the research before you obtain the dog/pup.

a bulldog is a bulldog it came from bulldogs that came from bulldogs get it? a dogo is a dogo it came from 10 breeds,example-if you put mastiff with a bulldog you got a bandog not a bulldog anymore.the name is lost along with the bulldog heart.you want to call them bulldogs its ok, i dont

Paul i would love to read/watch and learn how you hunt yours. I am stuck on the traditional curs on the ground cd's on a lead until curs bay...mostly out of my fear of getting my dogo caught far off, even though mine doesnt fight a pig (holds clean) i am scared to let her stay caught for a long time, split bays/catches, etc etc. Heck she will get out 500yds in no time and that scares me, much less if she is with curs. And even a close range cur will head out a mile on a hot track and bay  then what..? I would love to 2 or 4 out some dogos but dont feel confident i wouldnt put them in a bad situation.....how do you do it

[/quote]

Give me a break, HEART! are you for real?..not sure the dogos you have seen catch but the ones i role are no different than an ab or pit when it comes to heart. I have seen a few pits (one game bred) get hit tuck tail and run but thats not how i generalize the breed. I have seen several and owned a few dogo culls, but come on thats not the brightest statement. And way to general. 

Point taken on not calling the dogo a bulldog, i personally keep it simple, its the dog in a vest i cut to the bay and it grabs the ear, so i call it a bulldog but i see why others dont and technically speaking your probably right.

A good pair can hold a big hog for quite some time. You just got to let them do it. Heat is a factor so when its real hot I get as close as I can and get there quick. When it cools off I usually wait for a hot track and send the white dogs asap. I will also send them to any bay they can hear. Trust the dog, trust the conditioning, trust the training. I also give mine as much work holding a hog as I can. When I get to a caught hog I never leg them, I see how things are going and if all is good I let them hold and I will slip in and stick the hog while it is standing up. I let them hold as long as they can and break them off just before the are exausted or to hot. This will help give you a good idea how long they can hold in differant conditions. My Adora female is also very long range, if I throw her down with the curs in open country she will hunt a mile deep. Yes that scares the crap out of me as well, but that is what they were designed to do, you just need to make sure they have some help, and are in very good condition. If you send a soft, fat Dogo a long ways you are in big trouble.

Grant you are always going to have haters bash what they dont have. Its not enough for  them to hunt what they want! they have to try and convince others they shouldnt own one either.  I dont get it, I guess some people are just miserible

[Peachcreek]

that is a neat video. makes me want to throw rocks at my mutts... 

i wonder how much of it is true. sounds like its a mutt to me

[aussiedogger]

id like a dogo the exact make of ladogo's ricardo. beautiful lookin dog. too bad their ilegal to own over here. i was thinkin you could get someone to send semen straws over here and say they were some other breed. bit far fetched though. haha

[warrent423]

hunt? nobody,most keep them on a leash even dogo breders who will claim they hunt have cur dogs ,wonder why?

Haters  I hunt mine like a bulldog should be hunted in texas on lead and sent to a bay 

thats not hunting thats catching and they are not a bulldog either,maybe its just a texas thing i will never understand.

Back home in Florida, we go to the woods to "catch" hogs not to hunt them. Those white dogs have been doing just that for centuries.
