mixeduppup Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I know a lot of insurance companies won't cover your house if you own pitbulls in the USA (not sure of states or if it's nationwide) and I thought the dogo was on the list as well.

blakkjackal Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'd imagine that would depend entirely on the insurance provider and state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just wondering has anyone gone through the process of taking their dogs overseas? Is it a 6mnth stay in quarantine? Any help with that would be appreciated, as I have a 18mnth old Dane x Bull Arab who was a rescue who I don't think I could ever leave behind It's not the breed, it's the owner. I'd say both the owner, and the breeder. Some idiots breed dogs without stable temperament, and some breed for DA. The dog world could live without these folks. With respect to quarantine, I imported two Labs from Perth to SFO. Apart from some health tests, getting rabies shots, and a little paperwork, it's easy. No quarantine. If you're flying from the East Coast, you may even be able to fly on the same flight as your dogs if you play your cards right and don't have breeds that the airlines don't like. If you don't do the rabies vaccine stuff properly they impose a sort of house quarantine, but it's nothing like Australian quarantine. You might want to look at LA and surrounds or Texas. I think you'll find more places with dog-sized yards . . . and plenty of boxing. I can't see Dogos liking snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevX Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I have owned only large breeds. Mastiffs, Danes, bull Arabs, Rottweilers, pit bulls, American staffys, American bulldogs (as I do foster) & have been brought up my whole life around them, especially pig hunters. I am not new to this, the move is simply because I love them and can't believe we don't get the chance for non abusers like myself to own these beautiful animals. Insurance does not bother me, money is not a problem, I am doing this purely for my love of dogs. Thanks anyway. It's not the breed, it's the owner.

I'm glad i won't have to leave my boy behind, thought it was going to be much more difficult. But either way I'd try my best to get him their, just wasn't looking forward to a lengthy stay in quarantine. Eased my mind. It's not the breed, it's the owner.

TrevX Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Oh & sorry the "breeder owner" mark at the bottom is my 'signature' that pops up at the end of each comment. It's not the breed, it's the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 p.s. The government side is reasonable, but the AKC is a pain with respect to imports. Somewhere in the fine print they tell you that if you want to breed from an imported dog, you have to register its DNA with them before they will register the pups. Then when you go to get pedigrees printed up they give only the rego numbers, not the names, for the Australian ancestors. Looks really ugly on the pedigree papers. Like everything in the AKC, you can fix this if you pay them for some service or another. Cynic that I am, I think this has to do with protecting AKC affiliated puppy farms from imports.

Guest donatella Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Good luck, they're stunning looking but I don't know anything about them :) Make sure you post pictures if you get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Bait Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Stunning dogs - Maynard James Keenan (lead singer of TOOL and A Perfxet Circle) owns a Dogo Argentino and a Cane Corso. They help guard the winery :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandiandwe Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) There's a poster on a different, greyhound, forum who owns a pack which includes either a Dogo or a Corso (and she has fostered another). The pack also includes two or three greyhounds and a small French Bulldog and another bulldog of some sort. Loads of pics of them all racing through various swamps - a really happy and balanced pack.

keasarge Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 taking your dog will be easy, simple vet trip for injections (rabies mainly) lodge paperwork book his flight :) new York has some amazing dog parks to see where they are restricted in America your best bet would be to contact the dog argentine club of America, they can also hook you up with registered ethical breeders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevX Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Thanks everyone for the kind words, it's always hard finding positive opinions about these animals :) I would love a cane corso, I know of a breeder here in nsw but I don't have $5K to get a pup & to be honest I think I have enough animals to handle atm :) Thanks for the help w the flights, I am so glad it'll be a lot easier than I thought. Will definitely keep updated with pics :) will probably include the reptiles I will end up owning as well :p It's not the breed, it's the owner.

Kirislin Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 that puppy looks to have very splayed feet. I hope they improve with age. The ears always look like they've been hacked off with pinking shears to me. I rarely see a smooth neat job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 This puppy is from champion lineage and is considered 'heavy boned' so I think that puppy in the above picture is way too heavy and thick set, looks almost bulldog cross with that chest.

melzawelza Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Don't buy any pups that look like the one you posted - that is a really overdone, terribly bred puppy. Look at it's poor legs and feet Never met a Dogo, wanted to while I was in the States but didn't get the chance. Next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevX Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 I know mate, I made this thread for the love of dogo's not for people to get iffy about it. I DO NOT approve of cropped ears, often when I find pics of American "fighting" breeds or "banned" breeds, as in certain areas of America it is still legal to crop ears, it is hard to find a lot of pics without the cropped ears. I would NEVER crop my dogs ears. Wether it be legal or not. I can't even stand people who bob tail their Rottweilers etc. these animals were not made for us to make them look good. They looked great before we began these types of rituals. > I'm not just some newbie trying to get the "coolest" dog or byb, I love these animals & personally find myself a little crazy moving to America, but It's all love :) So please no neg. comments, I'm just sharing the love. It's not the breed, it's the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixeduppup Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The body of the puppy is terrible, never buy a pup that looks like that. Not a negative comment just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
