I will be getting my first working dog for treeing squirrels and hog hunting. I am trying to choose between 2 dog breeds. A black mouth cur or a dogo Argentino. The breeder of the BMC says there dogs are versatile to tree squirrels and bay hogs. The Dogo sire and bitch are peronal protection dogs but the breeder says they could also catch hogs. I figured the dogo wouldn’t be treeing any squirrels would be able to catch hogs. Any advice on which dog to go with? Thanks

You know you're going to need more than one dog to catch and hold a hog. Try one of each. Also, I'd go with the Kemmer too.
