I must be honest and say I added the vet bills into her total price but yeah 2,000 and I'm sure more emergency vet bills to.come. hogs are rank around here

It dont matter what you do for a living or make a year...spending that much on a cross like that brings two sayings to mind.

"A fool and his money shall soon part" and "Some people have more money than sense"  

[DixieDogs24]

I never said I what I make. I don't claim anything I can't back up my dogs are my hobby I spend my money how I choose. I like hunting I like hunting dogs not my fault I chose an occupation that ill never be broke or out of a job! I got a saying for you if you can't do it right the first time you won't have time to do it over. I am doing it right the first time! I don't own dogs that can't hold their own and I won't sell a dog I don't believe in. A good deal is a state of mind I paid what my  dog is worth I sell her pups for more than I paid I made a good deal!

[waylon-N.E. OK]

I use to be a member of the 798 and made good money then, now a lolely ol Jail Officer, don't you feel sorry for me. Hey I know what would make you feel better sending me a Dogo for Christmas, man ain't I a thoughtful  guy 

[DixieDogs24]

Lol I'm assuming you are talking union. I work for NASA. I got a litter coming in July a planned breeding on.my full and my dads stud I might think of trading a pup.for a few hunts don't settle for a dogo ill show you what an AB can do for you

[gary fuller]

dixie hows the ab bred? and to you other guys the world of hog hunters and the world of most registered dogs are so far apart it aint funny. and i know texas is different but try buying a good bred registered ab pup here in california for a couple hundred bucks is the same as my chance of flyin to the moon. i know this a hog hunting board and based out of texas but thats not  normal   for american bulldogs.  some of the higher priced abs  parents have never seen hogs much less beeen hunted hard and more emphasis is put on protection work and or conformation shows. many ab pups are sold for 750 or more just as pets with spay neuter agreements.  i think i payed 500 bucks for my first ab pup about 16 yrs ago. its just 2 different worlds guys. i just got a new pup a few weeks ago and was happy to pay 450 plus shippin. now i gotta see if he makes a woods dog for me,lol.

[waylon-N.E. OK]

No not settled on a Dogo, a good Ab would make me just as happy, just really like the looks of a good Dogo and have never seen a adult one in person. Really just want to try some thing other than a pit bull for a change. I see some Ab's around here for $500 to 750 that are real fine looking working dogs. oh and yea it was the Local 798 pipeliners union, it wasn't NASA, wow that's impressive to get to weld for them. I doubt I was ever that good, even on my best day

[gary fuller]

got all carried away about registered ab dogs and forgot  stuff lol. dixie hers my 2 cents on doin a ab cat breeding since you asked for input. when you do a cat to bulldog(ab or apbt) you may get dogs that act like a bulldog, or act like a catahoula or somewhere in the middle. the problem ive seen with some cat bulldogs is that they may act like a bulldog till one day its gets too ruff or whatever and they then remember they are half catahoula and let go and go to bayin. this can get both dogs and people hurt much less causin some lost hogs.

Thanks Waylon I am  proud of my welding I don't mean to showboat. I'm sure you are a good welder.  Dakota is a descendant of the margentina line on the top, with Texas ranger, loki von sanctuary, sanders combat, wrights rounder and  she has a lot of diff stock on the bottom woods breeding, crusher, sgt rock,  Bama best dozer, sand valley Sam,  Powerhouse iron axe head.

[gary fuller]

dixie thanks but how bout closer dogs and who bred her.

[DixieDogs24]

Her father is Rocks Mikey of AS her mother is OS Stella of AS. Her breeder was Alan Scott the founder of the Scott breed.

[gary fuller]

cool im friends with alan.

[DixieDogs24]

He is a good guy we started dealing with him last year been catching hogs ever since he is a legend around here and a hell of a nice guy.

[gary fuller]

if i recal right, bamas best dozer was cowboy/sand valley sam bred to jones whitiee and if so i owned his belly sister miss mabel.

[DixieDogs24]

I believe you are correct sand valley Sam to Jones white was Bama sire and dam. I cant pull up your website I tried . pm me your # is love to talk AB with you

[gary fuller]

not sure if i sent it but my number is 831-663-5767

if you gotta good catch dog and good huntin dog not much reason to mix the two... ive heard it makes a real good cross tho... as someone else said you probably have trouble giving them away much less sell them... catch dogs go for 100$ a head already catching solid around here... unless you wanted to breed some running catch dogs for yourself id probably breed the bulldog to a registered bulldog the pups would be far more valuable. poor ol catch dogs got the bad end of the deal, they are a dime a dozen lol i spend my heard earned dollars on one with a little longer life expectancy... im a pipeliner(6G and branch certified)>>>non union... I hit a pretty fair lick but i invest it wisely. If a feller works hard for his money he oughta do with it as he pleases especially as hot a job as weldin, your full blood bulldog pups would bring good money as they would be useful outside of the hog hunting... the cat/bull cross pretty much is for limited use. on the other hand bein her first litter you mite want to try the cross out... wont get rich but really not much to loose and you mite get something that suits you good and its hard to put a price tag on that. in the end it comes down to what you want... a litter to make money on, or find out for yourself if its a good cross and make money next go round... ive never mixed dog breeds much... but im looking at buying a dogo cat cross just to try it out

[SCHitemHard]

sure do like your AB and the idea sounds good, i say try it out but if it doesnt work and the dogs are culls hope they get fixed before you give em out

How much do you spend on a vet  per pup until all shots are given excluding the rabies?

I spend about 25 dollars a pup...

If I were to cross 2 different breeds like a bull dog and cur dog I would use a cur with lots of nose, hunt, and grit. Then I would cull through the whole litter and keep 3 or 4 of the best pups and then I would get the best of those and breed back to the cur. I would cull down to 2 dogs after a year or so unless I wanted to keep more of the pups.

In my mind when this cross is made it is to retain nose and hunt but to put more grit in the dog as well as more jaw strength. Also, a little more stopping power with shorter races and the dogs probably will need to be hunting with running vests.
