i knew 2 guys who used a rott for hogs ,both females. one actually was a good strike dog and the other was a catch dog but kinda chewy, not like a bulldog.

 Not enough lung in a rot for me, too big, slow and eats too much to justify me owning one.

A buddy of mine does, he runs to the bay and man oh man all 130 pounds of dog slams into a hog its over. Honestly I prefer This. This by far in my opinion is the best thing a man could do.
1. Bulldog (word used in general of mollasar breeds used to hunt boar)
2. Gritty Cur
3. Girtty cur

There is a guy that has a hog hunting operation and hunting prserve 15-20 minutes outside of Greensboro Alabama, some of yall may know him.  He has had it since the 70's, it has a real nice place that overlooks a private lake on the property.  Anyway my buddy is friends with him and he took me over there when we had been on a hunting trip around 2003 and he did hog hunts and used mainly bulldogs as catchdogs but he kept telling me stories about what he said was his best ever catchdog and he said it was a big 100# plus dog that was a mix that looked to b Rotti and who knows what else.  He said he stopped using dogs because he was wating to much money when dogs got cut and now just took people on non dog hunts.  I had my Catchdog vest and showed him and he hadn't never even heard of one and said he wishes he knew baout those back then.  I had an AB with him and he and his wife kept saying they thought it was a twin of a female they had in late 70's.  The Parrish brothers down around Cleveland used to have a lab cur mix named Black Dog that I witness catch some real tough hogs, heck they even had a real good straight catch YBMC as well.

a friend of mine had a lab/rott mix and he was a good me too pack dog. He stopped lots of hogs and if it wasn't too big a boar he caught it. When I first saw the dog I thought it was a black pit.

I also new another guy who had a nice looking rott gyp that hunted good and caught with a little help.
