First time these dogs have seen a horse up close. The lack of reaction shows confidence in the situation. Our pack hunt multiple small farms, and learning tolerance and adaptability are important. 👍

Two pairs of littermates we placed in working homes, getting it done over 1,000 miles apart yesterday (Louisiana/California). By placing our pups in the best homes possible for a hunting lifestyle, we're doing what we can to help preserve the working aspects of this breed.

A few of our favorite pictures from 2023. At a certain point, it stops being about individual dogs and starts being about the program itself... There's some nice young talent on this yard right now, but the knowledge and desire to succeed that will benefit them, was gained through all the years prior to this.
Time marches on, and today we started year 7 of the Deguello Project, catching a young boar in the Elm Creek. There are still no major accolades or awards that we are chasing, only trying to preserve this breed in line with the vision of its creators. And although it is no longer about the individual dogs (Except Buzzsaw. 😍😍), it is the individual dogs and the one on one interactions with them that make all the hours we put into this worth it.

Great Hunt this evening. Took the twins (Bridget & Bronn del Vahalla Cordobesa), Birdie (8 month old Buzzsaw daughter), and Bronson (7 month old male from Rapid Hunters Team). This was Bronson's 1st time in the woods as a hunter. The 4 of them hit a track, went 250 yards, jumped up some pigs and caught a young sow. Birdie's progressing quickly.
Bronson's performance spoke volumes. A natural hunter who stayed caught for several minutes, On The 1st Hog he's been shown since coming to America as a pup.

3 of the Dogos on this hunt are on the yard because their breeders trusted us and wanted to see what their genetics were capable of producing. Enough so, that they arranged the transportation of these pups from the other side of the planet to put them in our hands...
We are grateful for their faith in us and do our best to give all of our dogs the opportunity to become the best hunters they can be.

The Deguello Project is simple. Hunt an all-Dogo pack, year-round with a goal of averaging one hog a week.
Tonight's two put us at 53 for the year...

This was supposed to be a 'Rebuilding year'. A yard full of young dogs, (some hadn't even been born yet), and an old-man Buzzy made up the team. But after some strong performances from the next generation, and Buzzsaw showing us he's still The Great One, this has been one of our best years of hunting, And we're not done yet....

Bring on 2024, The Killer B's are ready.

There's a pair of Buzzsaw x Brienne littermates out in Cali that are literally Killing it.... Billy the Kid and Jigsaw have been putting in the miles and putting down the hogs. Most of their catches, And Strikes, have been solo... .dogos does an excellent job with them, and we are grateful for the opportunity to see Buzzsaw sons catching monsters in the hills of Northern California.

Buzzsaw, a little over 24 hours apart.
The Baddest MFer on the Planet doesn't act wary, or cautious, or aggressive... He's confident and patient and kind.

Until it's time to be The Baddest MFer on the Planet....

Funny how things can be quiet for a season, then you have an Incredible week of hunting at the tail-end of the hottest summer on record.
Bridget and Bronn (The Montenegro 🇲🇪 Wonder Twins) both looking like the seasoned, athletes they are, but it's still Buzzsaw's planet. 5 of the 6 caught were his, with the last one being a solo catch on a young boar in the creek.

Yard full of prospects coming into the fall, including Bronson, our newest soldier coming all the way from Hungary. His breeders are Great Friends of ours and sent him to Texas to become the excellent hunter we know he will be. Also, our Bitter × Butch pups (Buzzsaw daughter crossed to Buzzsaw grandson), turned 7 weeks yesterday and got cropped today.

Hundreds of miles and hours taken to get to this point. Praying there will be hundreds more to come.

After spending some weeks running the B-team, we were finally able to get our Allstars out together on a hunt. They did not dissapoint.

We love our Deguello Dogo family. Today seemed like the perfect day to let you all know how much we appreciate you. We feel blessed and grateful for our Dogos to be living with such exceptional owners. Our journey wouldn’t be the same without you.💞🐾👏

Santa lost his hat to The Saw tonight. 🎅 Merry Christmas from Deguello Dogos! 🎁🎄🌟

Was a great weekend of cool weather and being outside! No hogs but managed to put some miles on everyone. Thankful to still have a few spots to turn out on during deer season...
Our Instagram page hit 40K followers this week! We really enjoy the interaction and responses from hunters and working dog enthusiasts from all over the world. Look up on Instagram if you hadn't already. And while on Insta, look up .Dogos. Karr has them white dogs putting in work out in California.

Woke up early and did a round-trip to Louisiana to pick up our newest recruit, a Buzzsaw son from a great working female (We are smitten 😍)...
The drive seemed much shorter after Buzzy's performance yesterday. October has always been a big month for us. These photos are all from this day in the last 4 years.

Hadn't been getting out as much as we'd like the last few weeks. Recently have been looking back on the past years and thinking "Wow, Buzzy's 2020 was Epic."...

He managed a pig this morning, nothing special, but a good experience for the foreign exchange students and exactly what we needed from him. He's not as young or as fast, but Buzzy's 2022 ain't too shabby either....

Something important we look for in a young dog is Progression of Aggression. In the last three turnouts, Bridget has shown alot of Progression of Aggression. With each hog put in front of her, she is getting more and more comfortable and developing a style. Tracking/trailing, finding hogs all can come later, but 1st the dog must possess the drive to catch their quarry... Her brother Bronn and Bitter found this sow eating at a creep feeder right after turning out. Good hunt with a great friend. HOT and HUMID!

Buzzsaw and Bronn took a feeder track 300 yards and caught him in his bed. Felt great to get Bitter out and watch her work again. Best performance by Bronn, so far...
Extremely Thankful to still have places to kick dogs out in the heart of what has been a brutal summer.
