EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I know they have crossed Pats w/ pits, wondering if anyone here has seen or done the jack/pit?? i have been a pit man my whole life but may end up crossing out w/ the freakin way the world is today having good ole bulldogs.

I saw one last yr at a public hunt, it was an old man's only dog... ugly little sucker but he'd hunt!  Obsessive compulsive pit with boundless energy ;D  If you can get one(like this one was) not to be straight catch, they can make good heavy cover dogs.

i always wanted to cross a dane or a staghound with a pitty

 I have a pit x grayhound  just over a year old . It has taken a bit of work to stock train him.    But is safe around  sheep , cattle and chocks now.  He is  very fast in the bush and is hunting  out all the time  looks like he will be a good hard dog  . He was in on the first pig he saw with other dogs , Has not court he's own pig yet !

I've got a jack russel/patterdale cross.  He's so freakin' evil I can't even get him around my other dogs.  If he's ever gonna get to hunt, he'll have to be fixed to hopefuly control some of his aggressiveness.  He'll pick a fight with any male dog he sees, and that'll get him killed with my crew.  The little twerp hates a pig though.   ;D

i know you texans wouldnt understand this but i think staghound X pitbull would be a top cross. i dont know about scenting ability but the staghound for height, speed and sight.the pitbull for agression, muscle and head size. it'd even out to a really well put together dog. got a good pictures of that greyhoundXpitbull kiwi bacon??

you are right, aussiedogger i hunted many years with pit x grey hounds. the dogs were fast and would catch hard. the best luck i had was with a 3/4 grayhound x 1/4 pit. had more since and would bay a bad hog.

i ran a straight gray hound a few times but, i had the best luck with a cross of some kind.

in my opinion this is what i would call a running catch dog. if a hog broke bay, it never got very far with the gray hounds cross on him. they would grab an ear and lay on the side of the hogs body. the 3/4 grayhounds never did get cut bad, how ever the 1/2 cross would get butchered. i always wanted the off spring to favor the gray hound with the pit head and body of a gray hound.
i would hunt them loose with  the strike dogs.

i had a gray hound x hound, she was good but took to the hound more than the gray hound. she was a little rough and got killed. she also barked to  much for me. the gray hound cross would yip on a hot track and would bay.

yeah i heard their a bit thin skinned..... im alway dreaming up all these different crosses  :D im still living with the parents at the moment but once i move out i'll put a few ideas into action  :P

Aussie,

My female staghound will be ready to breed soon....Looking at a large pitt as one of the sire possibilities.....also a 1/2 AB 1/2 Dogo.....haven't made up my mind yet......

id like to know how that urns out  ;)

a friend of mine had a jakrus-pitt cross,wasnt a hog dog but it was a house cat-killn SOB.  big jack w/ small rasor/gotti pitt  body like a whippet on roids with a full size pit head that dog was full throttle from start to finish.  i think it would have been a sufficient hog dog but unfortunetly it decided a while back to chase a school bus and caught it. theres my two centavos.
