Title: catch dog mix? Post by: Purebreedcolt on April 10, 2009, 10:38:41 pm Ok know I am going to get a couple of why dont you stick with what works but my parents and neighbors are strickly aganst pits. Ok well i bought a ridgeback. love the thaught but absoutly hate the puppy for 2 years. I want a little quicker maturing dog. Anyways to make a long story short what will I get if I cross my ridgeback with a 1/2 dogo 1/2 Amr bulldog. Plus I do not want to have to worry about if the dog did axidently get out of a pen or leash around cattle goats etc. I may be farting in the wind but in my pea brain and if i pick and choose right I might be able to get good traits of both the ridgeback and the bulldog?

I really like the ridgeback as a breed but HATE the puppy in them

I have seen pure blood catahoulas and yellow dogs catch as hard as any bulldog. With that said it takes a WHOLE LOT more searching to find one than it does to find bulldog that does it.

Post by: jdt on April 12, 2009, 12:58:23 am i know a guy in north miss. thats got a ridgeback that is a solid lockdown hold till the end catchdog . i have a bmc that will bay if he cant handle it but if he ever gets aholt i have to pry him of . hes on the ear if he s caught . its been said a million times, it depends on the perents and how the genes match up . im not fond of bulldogs either but that is the surest fastest cheapest and easiest way to go. if you have the resourses i say go for it you might hit the jackpot with trhat cross , if not it ll be fun and a good experiance. jmo
