65kg Dogo Argentino catches 45 kg Boar. Mildy Graphic
My 14 month old Dogo argentino(Bruno) has grown much bigger than what is termed normal for his breed.
And he still has a lot of growing to do as he is still just a pup. He is 65 kg now
I breed him for hunting wild boar here in New Zealand and he so far has proven to have a strong prey drive,
good nose and a hold that is so strong that some time he breaks a large pigs neck before I even get a chance
to use the knife. His share size makes it hard on him getting through tight thick bush but in the open native he is fast to hit the pig. He still has a lot to learn about tracking and with in another year and 50 -60 more pigs
he will be more confident.
This latest pig only got 30 meters before Bruno's got his large mouth over the back of its neck. It was a very quick kill and no meat was damaged. The pig is 45kg and looks quite small next to the large dog.

Great job on the hunt, Bruno! He looks so happy and tired in these pictures. Looks like a good day.
Dogos are really beautyful dogs. At least the ones I've seen. Unfortunately they are illegal to own in Denmark. They've been deemed dangerous by the (stupid) danish government. They seem to think they can prevent attacks on humans by prohibiting any dogbreeds they feel are bad tempered. There's no justice in it at all. If we look at the number of bites, the labrador or german shepherd would range much higher than dogos, COs or pitbulls.
I've also heard the opinion that a dogo that bays is a cur. They should be too busy with a mouthful of boar to bay.
Maybe I'm just weird. My mother was totally desperate when I was little and wanted to see Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. Too much violence and blood for her taste, but I loooooooved it (still do BTW)!!
To answer shishiinu- The Dogo make a good all round dog for wild pig hunting. Best suited for mountainous and open terain. They sent and hold.
To answer ttddinh question. Yes- that is a GPS tracking collar fitted over Bruno rip collar. And yes the dogs in the truck get used together and singually. They are a mixed breed of Dogo crossed with grey houd and Irish wolf hound.
