I've only shot 3 dogs with it so far, but yes the caliber is much more fur-friendly.
I did blow a substantial hole in 1 dog, but I feel that shot-placement & distance were the cause.
I shot him @ 75 meters broad-side but high on the shoulder, and feel his spine/shoulder bones leaving his body produced the baseball-sized hole.
This unfortunately ruined the fur, as it was missing a large round section on the back...
I shoot Hornady 68gr HPBT pills @ 2900 FPS.
