well, good thing I’m not talking about a husky... lol

I’m also not talking about a 1 on 1 cage fight to death.

I’m talking about feeling pretty decent about going for a stroll down a trail with Dogo Argentino. I feel confident enough that this particular dog would make most Pumas second guess a full on attack. It be a big enough deterrent. A Puma would not want to risk serious injury just for a quick meal. They would likely pass onto an easier catch.

Dogos Argentinos have actually been able to fend off and kill mountain lions.

These aren’t your neighborhood pitbulls, German Shepard’s, rotties, or Huskies, bro.

Dogo Argentino is in a whole other league, skill and tenacity wise. It’s a NASTY dog. It also has a much stronger bite than that of a mountain lion.





You are so wrong. That’s not always the case.



On a cage fight to the death, I’d side with your statement. But if we are talking about out on the wild, where the cat gets to choose whether he goes full retard or passes for a better meal, I’d say that the Dogo Argentino and Kangal would be enough of a fight for the puma to make it decide to fight to the death.

A puma does not want to fight to the death or risk serious injury. They want an easy to moderate score... So that they can live and move on to the next.

My pig guy has dogos. They are essentially a cross between a great dane and a pitbull. We lost one to a pig when it took a tusk to the neck. Honestly I would take a pit over one, at least for pigs. They seem to be better at fighting because they are lower to the ground.

Trust me a mountain lion would make mincemeat out of one or even two. I suspect the lion would avoid the fight but if cornered it would not pretty. A mountain lion is much stronger and has claws. It is not even close.

Saw this yesterday. It is very close to where I live. I wouldn't go anywhere in the woods without my handgun.
I don't either. We have a miles long walking path behind our house. I always carry because there are black bears and coyotes in the area. And....a mountain lion was caught on video about a mile and a half from our house. :eek:

You are silly to take a pit over a Dogo. Not in the same league, man. Dogo is much bigger, heavier, stronger, faster. The same drive/fearlessness/tolerance to pain, if not more. TWICE the bite force.

Dogos have been DOCUMENTED killing mountain lion / wolf. They take down boats, bulls, etc. on the regular.

That’s not to say that pits are not formidable dogs, they are. But you are talking Pacquiao (Pit) vs. Tyson (Dogo) in their prime. Lol

Here is a small glimpse at what these dogs were bred to do (if you got sensitive eyes, do not view):

In the Animal Kingdom size wins. The paw on that cougar is the size of the dogs head.

Yep I don't think people know the power and size of these. Even a bobcat that is much smaller than a mountain lion could easily take out most dogs.

It would flee. They are sneak predators. They are also incredibly strong and can carry their prey, deer, etc, up trees to feed.

LOL I have experience hunting with dogs, numbnuts. I do not need to pull up a youtube video to form an opinion.

PS I am going back to TX to bait pigs next month, I will get some pics for you.

lmao. I know you have kiddo. Your innercity ass beats the chest about that any chance you get. I don’t need you to do it for me once again.

Your silly opinion is that of a chump that just happened to get invited or paid to do it.

Don’t try to act like you do that shit for a living now. Lmao.

Probably don’t even own a Dog. Here is my dog bro. Where is yours at?

Sadly a mountain lion ate mine. :( He went for a walk in the hills thinking he was invincible and never came back.

I remember reading about a mountain biker who was found mutilated by a mountain lion. They're not sure if he had a heart attack, or was jumped by the lion. You see, the lion ate his heart. :eek:

All that said, you're probably more likely to die at the hands of a Clinton than a mountain lion.

Fun story. Three weeks ago my buddy saw a large adult lion about a hundred yards from my house. No biggie, we know they're in the area. The next day I heard a loud gunshot. Turns out my neighbor was working on his house, nailing up some boards. The cat just sat and watched him. He went in and got his gun and fired a shot to scare it away. Kitty no scared. :rolleyes:

Here's a cool website that shows tracked/tagged lions in the Santa Cruz Mtns. Looks like the males 5M, 70M, and 82M and female 24F, roamed in my area just west of Morgan Hill. Puma Tracker | Santa Cruz Puma Project

BOOOMER!

SOONER!!!

And we'll try any food. Once. lol

Back to the topic, I think the only reason that cat attacked our dogs is because they cornered it. I would absolutely agree that UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES a mountain lion would run from a barking dog. This encounter is also not a normal circumstance. The adult was protecting her cubs. So the dog would do nothing more than delay her and let you get away. #RIP doggie.
