Just read this again, and found it interesting that the dogos barked and that signaled the hunters to close in. I wonder if they had originally had dogos that barked just before they caught. Also it said that they would nip at the rear, yet I have heard many hunters hate that behavior from a dogo? What are others thoughts on this?

---NIPPING at the ear and BARKING is definitely NOT an act of bravery--- like a man that threatens--- the BRAVE man just ACTS--- cowards BARK.

So do you think it was a misinterpretation on the authors part? Or do you think this was normal for Bilos dogos?

Well, few options here;
1. Young dogs that where being tried.
2. Use of crosses--- DOGO X Greys or faster type hounds.
MY THOUGHTS? From speaking with Gonzalo Bilo (Amadeo's youngest son) I KNOW that they tested VERY LITTLE in pens---they would take young dogs OUT to be worked with the more seasoned adults they BUILT them where it mattered most--- Amadeo also used curs/crosses dependent on WHERE he was hunting--- at times there was a need for FAST dogs that didn't posses the heart dogos had of course---HOW EVER every cross they did they infused Dogo blood to bring in HEART---so understanding these things I DOUBT Amadeo would tolerate a DOGO of pure blood to bark or nip much--- DIFFERENT perspectives seen from different angles.
I wish to say I am NOT 100% this is the answer BUT I will ask Gonzalo and see what DOn Amadeo has to say about this--- he will for sure clear it for us.
