Pure white and neutered dogo questions

How come some of the dogos got those black dots on them and some are more pure white, those one with the black dots are still purebred dogo and where are those dots come from?

A neutered dogo will affect big games hunting in the future?

The Argentine Dogo coat is glossy, thick, short and is soft in texture. They are constant shedders. We usually refer to spots as coloration on the coat that is not accepted in the Original Breed Standard of 1947. Pigmentation which is diffrent, is coloration of the skin. All Dogos have some pigmentation. Excessive pigmentation is not acceptable. In hot weather those spots become more visible for instance i am living in Brazil and now is summer, during this period Diego that is all white has black spots on his skin that are more visible since he is shedding more and also when i give him a bath all of his skin spots are visible but not when dry,

DHunter, we have maybe 2-4 Dogo owners but they do not frequent forum. fixitlouie has a dogo that he uses for pig hunting but he hasn't been on the forum for a while. :(
 
Its lonely at the top. Nuetered or not if he has game he will hunt. Good looking pup. Start clipping those nails now they grow a lot faster than other dogs. All the luck on your new partner. Once they grow into themselves they are truly awesome animals.
