Hello,

I just bought a new pup for Boar hunting next year. His father is 140 pound muscle dog. I was wondering if anyone has hunted wild boar with a Cane Corso? I as told this is the best breed.
Tell me what you think. The father is here on the homepage...The mother is also a hunting dog you can see them on this site Cane Corso Puppies For Sale http://sanroccocanecorso.com

if anyone has this breed please share photos.

Dogo Argentino

Cane corso's are great dogs. However from what I have seen every one seems to breed for aesthetic purposes NOT for hunting. I'm sure if you do your part you can turn him into a good catch dog just make sure you do your research on maturity because my Dogo is seven months old and she still thinks everything is a game. My girls game pit/Bull terrier /GSP is three months old and that little guy is like a Alligator with drive and focus for days!

Congrats on your pup! I don't know much about them, but one of our brethren here on the forum has one and loves it!

Lets see some pics of the little hogger!

the guys i know that use dogs,...use "bull dogs"....aka pitbull's

It's all personal preference when it comes to hog dogs. Some use Catahoulas American bulldogs, "GAME" bred pit bulls, Alaphala bulldogs, Patterdales, Jagd Terriers, Dogos and the list goes on..... just depends on how many dogs you run and if you want Bay dogs, catch dogs, or trailing dogs.

Now lets see the little (Huge) junk yard puppy!

A guy that I ran across a few years ago was using Rhodesian Ridgebacks as a chase/pursuit dog. If I were to use dogs to hunt wild pigs, I want something that can handle an attack.

Agreed Sumo. I really like the Ridge Backs too for their stubbornness to back down.

That guy has some great dogs in his kennels. Check them out. Warning graphic hunting images.
