Whats special about a Dogo?

[NLAhoghounds]

This topic is for me to gain some needed knowlegde about Dogo's, not to get anyones skirt blow up. I have been really considering getting one but i have no experience with the breed at all. My hunting buddies have strongly advised me to stay away from them. They say nothing is special about them and i have even heard one call them Nogo's. From what i have read about them they are sopose to be a very intelligent do it all dog but dont most people use them for just catch dogs? And the price of them as just pups can get you a almost finished or finished strike dog in some instances...So are they really worth all the money or they just a brainy catch dog? i would appreciate any feedback from the people who have had alot of time with dogos and how they compare against other dogs in this sport

I will say to do your home work on breeders that stand behind what they produce I have only been around the breed for five or so years  and all of my dogos work great for me but it all depends on your style of hunting IMO

You learn to use a .22 and a shovel when raising them  lol I really don't know but I've done more reading than most and everything you read about them leads you to believe they're just like any other breed but with more health problems and according to this website more culls.

I think there's a handfull of Dogo owners on here, I'm sure some will chime in and maybe give you their insight with their experience with the breed.

I have a dogo pitbull cross that gets the job done... The dogo is no different than a bull dog... Everyone that likes bull dogs hate dogo's and the same goes for dogo owners.... The dogo will have more bottom than a bull dog also with a better nose... But there are some great bulldogs out there that can also run a hot track..... You will get the same thing if you talk about cats and yellow dogs... Man it really boiles down to what you want to hunt with.... Good luck

Most won't bother...   too many ignorant internet hoghunters that make it not worth posting.

"just a bunch of F'n haters" thats all it is!
Dogos are just the same way as it is with other dogs.  Theres good ones and bad ones just like humans as well.  And just cause yal have experienced one that didnt work out yal wana bash the breed. Well if thats the ef'n case, id like to hear about yals 100% turn out ratings yal have with curs and cats and other breeds as well. Seems to me like everyone gets butthurt cause one dogo doesnt turn on when In the other hand you got more than half a litter of bay dogs that dont fully meet your expectaions. Which pretty much speaks for all the dogs on the dog trade classifieds.

I have a dogo. When I started out I just had to have one. Did alittle research found a litter and bought one. A year and a half later I have him for sale. Has nothing to do with his catchin ability he catches good and holds and due to his size he can hold just about anything I'd guess. His size is the main reason I have him for sale. Where we hunt is briars thickets and bee brush a dog of his size can't get through nearly as easy as a 55 pound pit bull.  Next reason is still size. He weighs in at 100 pounds try throwing him over or gettin him through cross fences 55 pound pitbull wins again.  I will say as of now I haven't seen a dog with as much character as he has.  He's very well mannered leads like a champ.
I don't know if this will help you but that's my experience with Dogos.

[sanantoniodogger]

iv seen lots of them that get barley hit and fall over like their balance is messed up .i always wonder why but iv seen alot of good crossed ones.

I don't know....I don't think it's nessesarily that people "hate" on the breed. From things I have read, I gather that it's more of a "why pay such a large amount for one of these dogs, when it does basically the same thing a bulldog can do, with less feed on top of that" type deal. Maybe I'm wrong. I have nothing against them at all, I've never owned one. I have great bulldogs, and if I need a lil' extra size, I have a real dependable American Bulldog that has hellafied strength, size, and a great handle that gets the job done when need be. I personally just don't have the need to go spend bookoo bucks on a Dogo.

I feed my dogos the same amount of feed as I do my curs and I know a hand full of bull dog people and to buy a pup from them is the same price I payed for my white dogs and I payed what I payed because of the way the dogs where bred but even that does not ensure that the dog will work but what does ensure that the dog will work is the people I get my dogs from they stand behind there dogs and will make it right with you of some thing does not work out

I have owned several dogos. The one thing they are good for is to make a cross to a pit or American bulldog. The pure ones I have had never satisfied me but cross them and they can out run your bay dogs and shut down a hog quick. Crossed is what I like just my 2 cents. I have a dogo female bred to my American male as of last week. Crossing them also takes away the deafness that they have. Gives you a level headed catch dog with more lung.

I completely understand, me personally id like to pack a 44mag(dogo) with me in the woods rather than packing a .22 caliber with shorts in it. Lol.  Thats another reason people bash em is cause the price on them. Im just gona stop before i get baned.
