Title: Maturity rate? Post by: HIGHWATER KENNELS on June 02, 2010, 10:06:27 pm For you fellers that have been doin it longer than me, I have a question. From all the different breeds of hog dogs from catahoulas, b/m,plotts,hounds,jags,mountain curs, dogos,pits, and AB/s, what breed seems to mature faster than others.. Or does it have anything to do with the breed, or maybe it is the dog itself or the line they come out of?
