dogo/pit cross

[ArtHenrey]

I ended up with a pretty nice young dogo pit cross I plan on working with to replace my old catch dog. He's around 1-1/2 just about solid white. I'm in the process of gettin some groceries in him. He's caught one hog that I know of. Built really good. What's yalls opinion on the cross. Never had any dogo blood in my kennels. Always had a full blood pit, or pit cur cross.

Love mine he can run with rough curs all day or with loose dogs lead him in i started mine kinda early around 8 months but he took it like a champ n has been solid for me ever sinse

go beat your pit then go beat your dogo and tell me what happens

You will get thrown in jail for two counts of animal cruelty lol

[Black Streak]

Lol, that's a big negative!

hahahaha sounds about right. 

Art I have heard of people using them. Read that Amerigo BWD thread in the hog dog section that is about a group of people who have been breeding Dogo x American bulldog crosses for more than a few generations now and they love them. Good luck either way.

[TheRednose]

they like the american bulldog part.  anything mixed with dogo is half a dog

hahahaha Man you have some real disdain for Dogos. Not poking fun at you but may I ask why you dislike them so much? Did you have a few that didn't work out? I have never had a Dogo though they do interest me. I think people just try to make them more than they are. But I have thought about getting one before but back then the prices were so high that I never did.

My friend has a few he says there good. But for me I like a straight pit for my heavy jaw dog

if your going to get a dogo go through cali catchers.  I have seen numerous dogos that either bay wont catch and the ones that do try to catch rebite instead of lock.  they're soft.  If you beat a bulldog they will be right back in 2 minutes you beat a dogo they'll be back in 2 days when they trust again.  there is something in the breed that makes them not handle a good butt kicking.  dogos are expensive to get shipped here.  the culls that should have been culled are breeding due to the expense.  2 out of 10 dogos in the states do what theyre advertised to do.  with that it costs $2500 to get a dogo here most people will not spend $25000 to get two good dogos so the culls get bred.  Why do you think theyre getting crossed with bulldog? Now if you can get a true dogo that is the real deal you have the best RCD there is but are you willing to pay $10,000 to $20,000 to get a good one?  shoot with that amount I can get 200 pits and everyone of them will do the job.

No I have lost interest in Dogos since then. it was a while back I was looking around. But I do really like his dogs and live pretty close to him. I really like his Patterdales and some of his other dogs. Seems he really has a good thing going over there with his dogs. I like his standards for breeding. I was thinking of calling him and seeing what he has available. I have never met him but his dogs look good!

Isn't it illegal in CA to hunt hogs with dogs?

You're pretty spot on here. It's a bit ridiculous here in the states with what the Dogo has become. A dog that once started out as the epitome of hog hunting overseas has been reduced to a pampered, pretty, sensitive washed out breed. But with that said, there are people who still breed and use working class Dogo. If you know the right people you can find them. I think I'm a little more concerned with the older lines of the Dogo. I've been in contact with some breeders overseas that have very stringent breeding programs, and they are being reasonable. When I do decide to bring back in a little Dogo to our crosses it will be from an outside source.

I will have to defend our crosses a little bit though 44mag, I have more than a handful of these Amerigo that I've hunted behind, and they ain't no punks! My PJ girl isn't phased by much... So to say our dogs are half a dog cause they have roots that originate from half Dogo and half AB is pretty much wrong. We have gotten all he way down to the 6gen on that bloodline, and everything seems to be going as planned.

Sorry someone or some dog burnt you out on the breed... I can't comment on owning a full Dogo because none of my white dogs are full Dogo. But I do like our Amerigo very much. Good luck, and happy hunting.

Well actually we can use trackers just not GPS based ones. Radio trackers are allowed as far as I know. Regardless probably the dumbest of all of the dog hunting rules we have here. I think part of hunting your dogs responsibly is being able to track your dogs to make sure they are where they are suppose to be for their safety and the safety of others. But why do what makes sense!!!

I would like to see a pic of your dogo/pit cross too Art if you have one.

I like where the folks with the BWD's are going with there's. If they keep breeding for only function they are going to have some jam up dogs, I mean I am sure they already do but they will keep producing more and probably at higher percentages. Keep up the good work.

As a dogo owner I've had two and only hunted being two. One was mine. Not shure what kind of dogos you been around but I think the ones I've been around were good. Here a lot of hatters... and the ones that hate put ALL Dogos in the same pot.. Never seen or even heard of a dogo cost more that 2500.00.hell I didn't pay that from mine and he'd from top shelf stock

The next dogo I get is getting shipped in from across the pond. Don't like American breeders or Argentina.  But you still are talking about a catch dog not a RCD. Then you are comparing what dog take a better beating?? Haha that's kind of a joke on your part.. Dogos are breed to be sensitive. The person who sold you a dogo should have told you that.....honestly from all your complaints it looks like YOU got sold a cull... now instead of taking responsibility you are throwing all dogo under the bus..  I agree with a lot of people on their reasons.. I personally think that at 100 lbs there just a tad too big for some places I hunt. but I have had some good times and met cool people because of my dog.. and that is worth defending him.. The people and places  .. right its what's having a good time is all about
