EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I got two pups and am wanting to see some pics,and hear some stories.

I had a good one that was my only catch dog for over 7 years, lost him to swine brucellosis a few years back.

Clifford...

Clifford was a bad azz….. the dogs behind him were all good, the bulldog side was some of the best bulldogs I've ever had or been around. His mom was one of the better dogs I've owned. Good luck with yours.

Best catchdog I've owned. One of the fastest dogs I've ever seen and hits like a tank. 1/2 Am. Bull 1/2 Cat.

This is my cat/pit she 6 months been out a few times in the woods. every time she'd range out by herself I don't really think its clicked in her head what shes doing but I can't wait till it does its gonna be on. Im gonna put her in pen with smaller hog to build her confidence, since she's only seen big pigs as a puppy. I got high hope's she turn out to be a strike dog.

Not to speak out of line, but Scott P had some accidental ones. Still they are off good stock on both sides in case anyone is into getting another Catahoula bull.

good lookin dogs folks.

One of my best RCD/Strike dogs was a cat x ab cross. If he was with another dog he was straight catch. By himself depending on the hog one or two barks and caught. With him and my cur x pit cross RCD/strike dogs very rarely did I need any other dogs to help and even more so had very long races. Finally lost him a few years back to a hog. Combination of old age(10 or 11) and bad hog. Did not get cut bad, but think shock got him due to his age. Who knows. If I ever find the right cat gyp I plan on breeding my old bulldog to her. I prefer crosses of this nature for RCD/strike.

Some years back, wasnt there a fella registering through ARF CATAHOULA CURS? It was like he was starting a line that had several generations behind them,, maybe 70's, late 60's or so?

I meant to post," catahoula bulldogs', not catahoula curs,    Sorry,, brain drain,,,,

Believe it was Howard Carnathan...

bill hines used to sell registered catahoula bulls. he ran and ad for em in either feathered warrior or grit and steele. a friend of mine had a ab and cat from an accidental breeding and the result was a big brindle bulldog lookin dog that most times was straight turn in bulldog but at times he would remember who his mama was and just go to straight bayin.

lol

Scott you hunted behind the swiss cheeses and Patch the dogs I am talking about.

Scott and I have a Hines video with those advertised on it. It was the copy he made for Rayburn.

thats cool on the video from hines, i know sam prater/prader had em from hines but dont think he kept em at half and half later on.

Yep, they were rough as a cobb. I just thought the way Gary worded his response was funny.

hi scott, it sure wasnt funny the night he decided to act like his mama,lol.we bayed up in a vineyard and turned loose gunny / the ab cat (who was about 85 lbs) and my jack dog who was only about 53 lbs.  of course when the bulldogs hit we could tell it was a good one so  pat and i took off in a hurry. pat go there first and then yelled oh hell and then help. he had got there and they had a big boy caught and as pat went to leg him gunny let go and went to bayin and pat almost got hit in the belly as the hog started spinnin  circles with jack just danglin in the air off a ear.soon as he slowed down pat and i rushed  in and grabbed both hind legs and got it all under cotrol. with gunny it was either straight up catch or straight up bay from that night on.

Oh wow... I couldn't run behind anything that's wishy washy like that.  Or at least bring another bigger dog that will stay caught every time. You guys took some chances...lol

james, you have to remember that not everyone hunts bulldogs,lol.for many yrs we caught and stuck almost everything  we struck but did have to shoot some. and we never had a turn in catchdog/ bulldog. and also that dog had never done that till that time. even as clumsy as i am i have hand caught hogs when they werent caught good by the dogs but basically fighting. so once gunny started that stuff he just became a dog that we would cut loose once the dogs acted piggy. basically what these guys today call a runnin catchdog.

Here's Shiloh

LOL...I know people pretty much try whatever for catchdogs. You know me Gary, I understand things through "structure". The dog was there to be a catchdog, you only had a jagd otherwise right? He didn't catch/stay caught. Now to be used as an RCD wouldn't that be worse? It takes longer to get to the dogs so if he is not stayin caught how does that stop the hog from cuttin up the other dogs and/or walkin on them?

rats not jaags,lol. but we had other dogs too at that time that most werent ruff all depended on what dogs we had.  actually runnin gunny loose didnt get as may dogs hurt as it does if we are runnin ruff dogs that will fight a hog and at times try to catch. from all ive seen , dogs that bay and bulldogs get cut up a ton less than ruff dogs that will fight a hog. and gunny belonged to pat so he wasnt a set part of deans pack. but pat did pretty well on his own when he hunted  his rat fritz, gunny and then turned in his pure ab to them two

I never owned one, but my buddy in south Georgia told me that back when he owned catch dogs (he only has Plotts now) all he used as bulldog/catahoula crosses. I think there is some registry that actually registers them as a breed now and calls them Catahoula Bulldogs. Years ago, Howard Carnathan started fooling around with that mix but I think he eventually went back to BMCs. For some reason, he did advertise his BMC foundation dog, Bruno, as a Catahoula Bulldog one time. I saw the ad.
