Dogo vs pit

[hogtied07]

I have never owned a dogo or ever hunted with one most every one here in south Arkansas uses pits as their catch dogs. There are very few dogos around here that I know of and most of them aren't even being put to work. Im considering on getting one and wanting to know their pros and cons compared to apbt

I know a guy that raises them. I can't ever remember his name. Lol I know his face and have his card. Seems like he is from the other side of Camden west side. Or from up around lil rock. I haven't hunted with one either. Cole cross on here has one but when me and him get together we are jinxed. Lol.

From what I have gathered some love them some hate them. Price is higher for the most part than a bulldog. From what I have read they do ok as walk in but aren't as good of RCD as they were originally bred for.

Haha yea.  I dont get on here much. He only person I know with them think I'm gonna get me one

[Shotgun wg]

I have wanted one for a long time. I have read pages and pages to no end. I have seen post that swear by them and post that said they were worthless. One thing I have learned is there is no clear answer on the web. I think its one of those things were either its a good one or it's not.

I got an idea. U get 2 and if they are good I will get a pup from u. Lol

Won't  get Into this much because it'll turn Into an argument. I personally love dogos. In my opinion if you have to walk in a dogo it's a cull. Do your research before you buy from a breeder, do not take a breeders word. Talk to people who have bought from them.

I have had both pits & dogos. I love both breeds, but I do prefer a dogo.

You are welcome to pm me if you'd like more info.

Happy hunting.

Hog tied, I am one of the ney sayers of the dogo. I think they are a pretty animals and I like the build. I don't like white if it can be helped. I have hunted with numerous dogos and owned one. Ninety percent of them all had the same draw back, they were always reaching for a deeper bite. I can't stand that. If the hog was able to pressure them they held on but as soon as they had help and the hog couldn't put as much pressure, it was re-grip re-grip re-grip. If it takes you very long to fight through the briars getting into them, the hog is earless. Not a big deal if your not trying to bring it out alive. It might get a good dog cut up too. That being said, I know there are good ones and bad ones in every breed, I just got bad taste in my mouth over the years.

Always had pits,and always will,my dogo was slow to start,he has turned on,i cast him with my curs ,heck he finds bays,and catches wen i get to the bay,hard headed ,i like him,he will live his life at my house.i have a new pic of him,just dont know how to post pics.the best gaurd dog i ever seen.

[colecross]

My dogo dosent re grip,wen he catches he lays beside hog.if he re grips,then he would be a cull in my book.dont know alot bout the breed,other than reading on line,

They're nice dogs in my opinion just too big. One day we had a boar hog that was around 300lbs bayed up in a little thicket under a fallen tree, well if I had brought my pit that morning like I was thinking we would have had him caught right there but the man that came with us that morning had a dogo and he was so big he couldn't fit under that tree so he went to jump over it and as soon as he went over the hog come bustin out right up under where he had just jumped from, after that the race was back on and it took us about 2 more hours to catch him after that because he had missed a couple times after that

Once again as with all these vs. threads.....

You'll find good ones and you'll find sh*t ones, in both breeds. Are you wanting a running CD? From what I have heard, the majority are used as running CD as I believe they were originally used when created. Do you want a real big dog or a smaller dog....what terrain do you hunt...all of that would be factors when deciding whether you want one or not.

I do not knock what works for someone else, I've never hunted behind a dogo, but I do use bulldogs, EBT's,  and my American Bulldog on occasion if I want to run BIG. I'm happy with what I have. No real reason for me to seek anything new.

I have a dogo that I really like.   Before him I had a nutered pit that I really liked also.  Ive only seen a few other dogos besides mine so I cant comment on the breed.  Lot of great pits out there that are jaw locking- hang on to the end catchdogs.  But Ive also seen some terribly stupid pits.  If there is onething I cannot stand, it is a catchdog of any type that wont listen and acts crazy.

A while back a guy made a thread about a catchdog and how great he was and how he listened.  I think a lot of catchdog not matter what the breed can be great listeners- but it seems with the pits, they take a little more work (does not apply to all pits)- just some of the ones Ive seen and read about.

I dont know what my next catchdog will be- heck I have a 11 month old plott that has seen three hogs and caught everyone of them.  He may be my next catchdog!

If you are talking about the guy from little rock he doesn't hunt his dogs he just breeds to sell. They may be ok who knows

[Shotgun wg]

I can't remember where the guy is from. He hunts his. I just can't ever remember his name. Loco kennels keeps popping in my mind.

My thinkings exactly. The last pitbull I had get killed he and the hog was stepping on his guts and he never let go until I got him off. And he acted fine except he wasn't I have never been around a dogo but I want to know will they lay in there in this situation or are they so smart they are going to know this big sob is going to kill me if I don't let go. I wanna know from someone that has seen some get whacked up bad not from someone that just seen a flesh cut.

[hoghunter71409]

Bo _ I cant tell you what my dogo would do if the hog was ripping his guts out because its never happened.  I can tell you my dogo has caught several good boars and barrs close to the 300 lb mark and each time he was on the ear with not a lot of cuts.  I almost lost him once when a big barr threw him like a piece of pop corn popping, but he got right back and hit that barr again.  When he hit him the second time he pushed him off into a creek where he stayed caught.  When I pulled him off he had a major vein in his jaw cut.  Blood was pumping out of him.  All I could do was apply pressure and still blood was running through my fingers.  He also sustained two deep gashed under the should of his cut vest.  I can tell you he took a whopping, but once he was caught he never let go.  And if I we were not there to get him off, there is no doubt in my mind that he would have stayed until he bleed to death from the puncture to his jaw.  He lived and is still here and has caught many good boars and bars since then by himself.  I've never let him go to a bay and thought twice about him not catching.
