We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.
Not sure about that last one with the Dogo... Denna would do that in play if we let her (especially the sit-on-the-intruder bit), and his tail looks like it's wagging in play-mode, not protection-mode... I'm sure I would have a different opinion if we could hear his verbalizations...
I think the Dogo beats the Boerboel hands down for agility and endurance. The Boerboel people always say that the BB is the most agile of the mastiffs but I really think they forget about the Dogo. I always had a hard time calling the Dogo a mastiff as i always looked at them as hunting dogs like hounds.
As for the bite work I have seen Boerboel videos showing them very happy to be biting and attacking. When they are trained for nothing else it is what they live for.
To me setting dogs on a caged hog is blood sport and torture. I would like to see the humans get in that pen with the hogs.
Traditionally hound type dogs were used as hunting dogs. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is considered a Hound in many aspects even though it has lots of mastiff blood in it.

using a hound dog to hunt pigs/hogs is very common.

Hounds are also used for bear hunting.

The hog in the cage is the training part not a blood sport, i can post tons of hunting videos in the wild not in a cage but i wanted to show something else meaning that the Dogo is not a hound that tracks only like hounds do they are able to hold the prey until the hunter arrives hence it can do what the hound does and what catch dogs do all in one animal. Is the ultimate dog in all aspecs for hunting hogs there is no better breed in the world.
