Dogo crosses?

[Dino1]

Has anyone crossed a Dogo with anything and gotten something good? I have seen ads for dogo/pit crosses and once in a while dogo/american bulldog crosses. Anyone seen any of these in action? If you go back far enough, the dogo has some Cordoba Fighting Dog blood in them. I have seen two photos of these Cordoba dogs and to some degree, they resemble American Bulldogs.

Mr. Douglas Mason crosses them with Catahoulas to get his Catdos, someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe they run pretty good for him

My catdo is a more a house dog, but the last couple times iv took her hunting, she will roll out with the more experienced dogs. In the pen, she is more of a loose baying dog than catch

I have had purebred Dogo's and crosses with pits. I prefer the crosses. I use strictly lead in cd.
I prefer the 1/2 and 1/2 cross the best. But now I have 3/4 pit and 1/4 dogo.

The cordoba fighting dog had bull dog mixed up in it. That's why some had a bull dog look. I've thought about crossing our dogos to a sight hound just to add some more speed. But I've decided not to because I believe our dogos are pretty damn fast as it is.  I don't see the need to cross a dogo to anything any more.

His old catch dog is a catdo. Seen him catch,  impressive,  but mr.Mason is the man and hunts daily.

Fixitlouie you are right on that and if I had half the knowledge he does I would be happy

I've been emailing mr mason a bit, he says in 16 years of crossing cats and dogos he's never had one that didn't catch. I put my name in the hat for a cross, figure if a mans been doing it that long successfully there's no sense in trying to recreate the wheel. I think if you're crossing a dogo with another BD (pit, American, or whatever) you're just breeding down. If you want a smaller cd than a dogo I'd just rescue a pit from the pound.

I've hunted with a few dogo crosses. The guy I started hog hunting with when I was just starting out had a half dogo half plott hound, he was a big, heavy boned sucker that was straight catch. Just seemed like he was always cut down though, didn't know how to get side by side and hold. He would take fresh tracks and was an awesome dog in grain fields, he liked to stick his nose up and work the wind. A friend of mine still has a Catdo he bought as a pup over 13 years ago. He's caught hundreds of hogs and still is able to go strike a hog and shut it down. Will bay if he's alone and its a big pig but have seen him catch some good boars by himself or with one or two help dogs. Excellent looking dog. I've got a half dogo 1/4 cat, 1/4 running walker that I've raised from a pup. Turned into more of a pet/guardian for my fiance but Thursday night he went over a mile from the house with my retired female and they jumped a group and ran for 4 hours catching pigs. Before I stopped hunting him he was striking hogs over cur dogs that were over twice his age. ON THE OTHER HAND I've seen ALOT of dogo crosses that were culls. Seen some that had Major health problems and lots that were structural wrecks. Just like anything else, Gotta use Sound breeding and common sense.

I agree with you 100% on the breeding down thing!

I've got a 1/2 dogo 1/2 AB that will be 11 yrs old this year and is still catching.  He was the pick of the litter from Ugly Dog Ranch's first cross.
Years ago when I was naive about bulldogs I used to think the dogo was what made him so good.  I've since learned that perhaps she bred for the dogo size but crossed the AB so the pups would actually be good for something.   

I've learned through time that there are quality straight AB's out there that have all the qualities I like...just have to look for them.

...and before I get labeled a "Dogo Hater", I did actually raise two.  One was an import (from supposed working lines) that had a folder of papers two inches thick.  Both were some of the sorriest dogs I've ever thrown feed to.  I do realize there are a few folks raising some quality Dogos's, but those are scarce as hens teeth.

It really isn't breeding down, I love our dogos but all of our crosses to pits have turned out, most turn out about 80 pounds but we had one half pit half dogo that weighted 132 pounds he was built like a dogo just wider I think anything with dogo in it makes it better lol
But I do prefer a full blood dogo as a cd

i think pert near everybody ought to be hunting dogos and dogo crosses!! it sure would make catching hogs easier.

[t.wilbanks]

Crazy how you can take the dogos who have a 3% turn out rate, breed it to something as sorry as a catahoula with a 12%, and get a 100% turn out rate....   

Let the good times roll!!!! 

[t.wilbanks]

Disclaimer: I am in no way putting down mr. Mason or his dogs, it's just too hard to pass up a good jab at either breeds... 

I've seen some nice ab/dogo and pit/dogos that were catchdogs, and I've seen some good looking dogos that were...... Well dogos..

[cantexduck]

  If you have to train a dog to catch......... I am out.

    I think people added pit and or bulldog to them for the catching aspect and had the dogo blood just for size. I have had a dogo and a catdo. I run 2 pits and an american now.

[williamsld]

I've never had a problem getting a dogo to catch never had to train them to catch, I've had less problems outta my dogos than my pits or American bulldogs when it comes to catching something besides the ear, most of my dogos will pass out still caught when you try to choke them off you have to have a break stick

Im not trying to bash other dogs im just saying I've had better luck with dogos, having said that right now my main cd is a finished pit gyp that's about 30 pounds soaking wet, and she's as good as any dogo I've had

Could you post some pics and info on your full blood dogos?

  Like I said in my post I have only had one Dogo and one cross. How many have you had ? I have been around a hand full more and have seen alot of re gripping.
