Not familiar with a dogo. A Black Mouth Cur is a hound. Black around the mouth and eyes and the body is tan. It is a farm/ranch dog. You can find them on the internet and some look like our Cate, some don't. My husband raises rodeo bulls and Cate was supposed to be his ranch and truck companion but she gets car sick and gets hysterical when you put her into the truck. Now I have a 60 pound lap dog to go with the Jack Russels.

I am not in favor of banning breeds because I know the morons who want a tough fighting dog will just move to something else, bigger and tougher poodles. I want stiffer penalties for dog owners of aggressive dogs of any breed, especially the big breeds. I want one time and you're out for aggressive dogs before they kill someone not after. Big fines and jail time if your big aggressive dog gets out of the fence, no excuses like "someone left the gate open and I am sorry he killed your grandma". I want people to realize that dogs that have been bred for specific purposes will do what they have been bred to do in spite of the training.

I know what a Cur is. Hunters use curs and dogos interchangably when hunting.

I still don't think you understand that a pit bull was never a breed. A pit bull was what the dog was called that went into the pit. The AKC's naming a breed, American Pit Bull Terrier, doesn't change that. Dog fighting was around way before the AKC.

The legal definition that homeowners insurance and local laws are using for banning recognize the pit bull type. That is why the legal definition encompasses so many breeds AND mutts. It is the legal definition that is following the lead of the Dangerous Dogs Act. The Dangerous Dogs Act's definition is any dog of the type known as pit bull terrier. That is NOT exclusive to American Pit Bull Terrier. The American Pit Bull Terrier is only ONE type of pit bull.
