I understand why a man like your friend Lius has this outlook on the use of dogos. He is a man living on the hunt and each penny counts. He has therefore made this choice of dogs.One can only respect a hardworking man like him.
He is not a breeder of dogos, and for him it's the usability.
One can therefore suspect that the dogo originally might be for people with another financial position.
Could it be it is a dog made for the elite? I'm here thinking of the creation of the dogo. I don't know the financial circumstances around the creators, but they have had a lot of "experiments" going on before finally have created the dogo, and this certainly must -even then-have been costly.
Can one compare it with the use of hounds for the wealthy "part time" hunters and the lurchers for the "every day" hunter in the older days in UK?
The elite could keep the dog for their pleasures, because they could afford this costly dog or am I just speculating here?
I know I'm straying a bit away from my original question, but I have not before viewed this subject from this angle.
