Platz , Here up north over heating not a problem & the Dogos are kept on lead until we get to the bay. Athena , here are some boar hunting terms : Bay - when the boar stops running & makes a stand . Catch - when a dog bites hold of a boar & subdues it for the kill or to be caught & tied , for relocation. Anchor dog : your strongest dog ; a fight stopper. All my protective gear is made out of Kevlar , Nylon & Felt . As far as brutality , the Dogo was created for the hunt and by the hunt , without it there is nothing ......without the past there is no future....
