Well...the fact you know so many folks who cheat and cut off the cutters or break them off the hogs they test their dogs on doesn't show much of anything good to me about the type folks you associate with but does show me why you assume others do it.
There aer actually a lot of people the don't use cut gear when they hunt....I've never hunted with anyone who put cut vests on their dogs so I wouldn't say most hunters do but I guess the people you know all use cut vests. Do they put cut vests on their dogs when they pen test them against those cutterless hogs? 
LOL!
I appreciate your kind words about the dogo but......the point was obvious and you are intentionally avoiding it. You can't tell if other dogs were there from the initial photo, just like you can't tell there were other dogs on the hunt in the second photo I posted without me posting the photo and saying they were there.
I looked at that initial photo again and no way you can say that boars cutters were cut off.....you are just dead wrong on the bottom ones. It's just a small, young boar with small teeth is all IMO from what I can see. That dog in the photo shouldn't have any problem handling that size hog ALONE...doesn't matter if it's a Dogo, a bulldog or a CAS.
CAS isn't your typical hunting dog but certainly doesn't mean it couldn't do just that. I don't see sides of a pen or enclosure in that photo.
At any rate...the fact the dog has the boar by the ear tells me it has some balls. You don't believe the dog can hunt because it's a CAS? You're entitled to your opinion as I am mine. I once saw a 15 pound jack russel terrier bay up a 350 pound boar and make it sit on its ass....since then I won't go by what a dog can or can't do by dog breed alone. You think the photo was staged? I guess with the company you keep where that it apparently common it makes sense that you would think that way.
For me.....I liked the picture. Whether or not the dog tracked that hog down or ran into it (which no way in hell you can tell by that photo), that dog had enough balls to grab it and hold it.
