Dogo Argentino

Is it true that dogos are capable of being track dogs and catch dogs?

[dub]

That is what I heard. That is why I have a Dogo puppy. He has a lot of hunt already. The ones I have seen don't find them as well as cur dogs but I have seen them wind a pig and go get it. I plan to run a cur dog with two Dogos. That way the cur can find them and I have a dog barking to find them. They are not pits and have to be treated different. But I really like most of the Dogos I have met.

i was wondering how the nose of the dogo compares to to a cat or bmc just doesnt seem it would be very effectice in tracking but ive been wrong before. Im also interested in getting a pair of dogos to run with a cur.. can you point me in the right direction for a couple dogos? it would be apprectiated.

It took me a year and half to get my puppy. Do not get in a hurry or you will not like what you get. With the price comes people that just want money. So be careful.

Kinda funny when I started mine she is 5/8 dogo 3/8 ab the first simulated bay I took her on she trailed the pig to the bay then caught she has a decent nose this trail was 15 mins old or so.  I was impressed now I know a lot of curs can do that but was impressed with her being a cd lol

How so?

 It is a matter of expectations and what you want. If you want a Ford you buy a Ford not a Chevy. I have a hard time describing the difference with out sounding like I am bashing Pits and I like Pits too. I would say as a puppy the Dogo looks like a Pit cull. But I think they are just developing technique or confidence. You can ruin a Dogo by pushing them. I am sure that I am not making much sense. I hope someone smarter than me can explain it. I have only seen other people's Dogos develop so it is only my observation. One of the best Dogos I have seen hunt I would have culled as a puppy because I had seen pits. My puppy seems much better than any Dogo I saw as a puppy so I bet he will be a rock star. I will think and try to come up with better words unless someone can say it better than me.

Dub,

Just curious whose Dogos you've hunted behind?

[Purebreedcolt]

To me cull at 10 months old if not catching or showing the will a dogo don't cull till 2 years old they mature and some start a lot later.  A pit to me can be about as good as he can be at a year old dogo might not be there till 3 or so.  They take patience.  Most of this is coming second hand from people that have them.  I talked to several people that do when I was looking for the dog I have now and this is the conclusions I came to on the dogo now on the pit side that is just how I see them and the experience I have had with them

Ive got one that does it all, I have also owned several that were culls. Seems to me there are alot of trashy dogos around so get one out of hunting stock! There seem to be a few solid guys on this forum to get dogos from. My gyp is only 75 lbs and is athletic and hard. I got her from the ppc folks on here, I think most of their stock is a bit larger than that though...Hard none the less. My AB is giving her a run for her money, he's not quite as good in the endurance department but hunts better than my cur pups

That little pup I got from Marvin works a field real good at three months old. He works like a bird dog pup just not as fast as a bird dog. I have real high hopes for him.
