I have hunted with both. From what i have seen the Dogo did just fine but when you lead in i could tell that the pit we have was way more aggressive. The Dogo almost seemed timid and thought about how he was going to go about catching the pig. The pit put the smack on the pig end of story. I have heard and read that they are bread to hunt in pack as running catch dogs, but i have come accross quite a few pigs that i wouldent want a bunch of dogs hanging on to for a while. I just like the aggression of the pit, but have seen the Dogo do ok as a help dog.

Dogos have plenty of lung. My dogos stay on the ground with all the other dogs. My dogos are never timid when they get to catching a hog.

The only thing I would like to know is why are they so expensive? I am going to get one sooner or later bc I have a friend that is breeding his and it's not costing me anything. I have hunted with them and the only thing to me is there size but there are some leggy pits and abs out there. I guess it's just a personal preference but I think if you compared a great dogo to a great pit and a great ab there would be nothing different a real deal catch dog can be all kind of different breeds. It just easier for me to go with a pit or ab due to the price.

I think the price deters alot of folks too. Kinda like my Bull Terriers. When folks see me using mine for catching, the first thing they tend to say is 'Why you using such an expensive dog for that?!'

I think it had a lot to do with not a lot of people have dogos. There's way to many people that breed pits, so the price is lower. There's not an abundance of dogo breeders, that's why I think were able to ask so much for them.

We have some bulldogs here now that go for the price of a Dogo.....we have some old blood here that is almost no longer in existance, but yeah, you are correct, there are indeed alot of folks breeding scatterbred 'pit bulls' nowadays.....every dang shelter you go to is full of 'em, it's quite sad. Bull Terriers have also managed to hold their high price tag as well. Not too many of them around either, ESPECIALLY not many being worked. How's them new pups of yours doin? You ever get any pics up of 'em? I may have missed 'em.... |

The price is set that way because the market is not yet flooded with them like other breeds, and breeders will want to keep it that way. Thats why guys that get 2500 a pup will turn around and give one to a friend, its not necessarily the money, its control of the market. they are a relatively new breed. As for how good they are, I have only hunted with a few, but they were damn good! I have two dogo crosses that are awsome strike dogs, and a half dogo lead in. No coincidence to me that they have extremely desirable temperment and ability. I was not a believer till I got these three

The pups from our last litter are all doing good getting big. I'll have to post some updated pics of them & my pup I had shopped from Argentina. Bambino is looking real good. Growing like a weed. Ears are all healed up.

i have a dogo and love the way he hunts and catches , but ill be the first to say that there is nothing "SPECIAL" about him ...... has a good nose and lots of lung , other than that hes just another dog . he does the same job that my pit used to do just with less stiches ! if you get a crappy dog then you'll hate it , get a good one and you'll love it ! you can say that about any breed of dog !

best thing to do is get a dogo and cross it with a bmc , then cross the pup with another bmc , then another ...... then another ..... then another , until the ears get longer , body gets shorter , and the white coat turns yella ! lol

Dogos are a bull dog, but I treat mine like a cur dog that is strait catch. If you get a good one they can be very versatile dogs. Sometimes I hunt mine alone, sometimes they run with the curs, sometimes they get sent from the truck, sometimes they are lead in cd.
The only reason the price of dogos is so high is because with dogos, all people see a big pretty white dog and then nothing but dollar signs. There are some good breeders out there that won't charge an arm and a leg for a good hunting dogo pup, but they are few and far between.
Another problem is, breeders don't prove their stock. Its all about the "investment" and protecting the "investment". So someone gets a pup for however much, they either don't prove it or it turns out to be a cull, but they breed it anyway to get a return on their "investment", and all they do is produce sub par dogs with sub par dogs. In my opinion, if the dog aint proven or it is a cull, then the "great big white investment" might as well be a great big white roll of toilet paper.
Now what has happened, is these people with sub par dogs that are their "breeders", are putting sub par dogs in other peoples hands (for a substantial amount of money), the dog doesn't turn out, and those people bad mouth the dogo. Do I blame them for bad mouthing the dogo? Heck no, I would too if I was in that position. Am I saying that breeding proven dogs to proven dogs is fool proof? No, there is culls in every breed in every breeding (usually). Look at game dogs, people have been trying to consistently breed "game" into their dogs for hundreds of years without 100% turn out. True gameness is rare in any breed, but breeding for a return on an "investment" damn sure doesn't help the cause.
