Hello everyone,
I'm Jules, I'm 16 years old and I'm thinking of getting a dogo in a year or two.
There a some different breeds that I consider but the reasons for a dogo are:
-the size and look
-brave character, I don't want a dog that is easily scared, give me a enthousastic brave dog that will investigate everthing instead of standing behind me
-they guard
-they are used to hunt in a pack and since I have (my own, not my parent's dog) Jagd terriër x Fell terriër and another dachshund x labrador, it's important that the dog is social within the pack
-I hope my terrier turns out a little big for boar hunting, I'm not sure because I don't wanna wreck my dog but tit might be an option and a dogo would be perfect for assistance, the terriers annoys the boar and the dogo grabs and holds it.
But I have a few questions, I need to know where I can hunt with them, close to Belgium?
Do I need more than two dogs to hunt a boar?
Do they adapt to the city environment?
Are they good with children?
what types of game do they hunt except for boar?
Are they obedient? (my terrier is a little stuborn but trainable, but very very strong prey drive)
I'm also considering an american pitbull terrier or a staffordshire bull terrier, but they are very dog agressive and this wouldn't fit within my pack, and I need 'more dog' / more kilograms to stop a boar.
Greetings from Belgium,
Jules
