Appreciate it gentlemen. I have no plans to throw her on hogs atm. She’s being groomed to become my high level bitework/ sport competition dog.

So far I’m EXTREMELY pleased with how she’s turning out.

In the meantime - I’m looking to compliment this Bandogs strengths/mitigate his weaknesses (excessive size/weight) and am actively seeking feedback.

I have a few dogs here in my stable - and would love to make an all around running catch dog. Ultimately one capable of working hogs/coyote with some defense drive/man aggression.

This dog is pretty close to my ideal “running catchdog type” - and is in the UK. He’s a neoXPresa x Grey

 

Looks to have good leg - likely decent wind.
A “light coursing Mastiff” of sorts.

Would this be something avid hog hunters would appreciate? Is this dog too light in type? And what are the experiences hunting with Sighthound/staghound blood.

Someone was kind enough to mention how the bite style changed? Does heavy Sighthound blood make them “head and neck dogs” as opposed to dogs who catch on the ear?

Brendan, isnt this dog a neo x presaxalaunt? Excellent confirmation

I feel like the gameness is restricted in the bigger dogs due to the amount of oxygen they use in the begging of the engagement. Once there energy is depleted they slowly give up. The bulldog is genetically maxed out in its size for the right amount of each attributes. So the quit or cur in them doesn’t show up as much plus two hundred yrs of battle helps. This is why no dog can match them pound for pound. Just my two cents. Good luck in your ventures young man hope you can find what you want looks like your on a good start

It really depends on the physical size of the dogs heart, many of those large hunting breeds have not been bred for endurance for hundreds of years, sad story

What ideal weight do you look for in your style of dog?

I favor the pups that like a pig foot

Ive never seen that many nice boars killed in one year, let alone one hunt! Thats unreal!!

If i could hunt off wheels and had bigger properties id get me some loose baying dogs, glad to hear they're coming around

Oh what a thread to see tonight... I go  by myself pretty often. Especially lately cause my main buddy is on recovery from knee surgery. Went solo tonight Got on a sure enough bad one I've been after for a long time. Finally got a bulldog hooked and it just took to long to get there(turned him from 50 yards) he was gassed after being caught for about 10 minutes and this hog was just too much for him. Boar Almost got a piece of me as I got to ride on his back for a couple seconds.  Then he tossed catch dog for good and packed his bags and left the country. Kicking myself in the ass cause if I'd have had a hand I think I'd have been posting pics of him. It got sketchy but it's the most satisfying feeling to get one caught and killed solo!

I couldn't be happier with my two young dogs, out of the five hogs caught on this two day trip, they were on four hogs and popcorn was acting like a catch dog, socks was just baying, which is fine with me, ill try and add a pick of them tomorrow as I neglected to take one on the trip

Got a big one yesterday, we snuck up on a herd and let all the dogs loose, it was mayhem, hogs split up and dogs split up, there were ten to fifteen hogs in the group over 250 lbs, i had two young mtn curs Popcorn and socks, they caught two shoats, one i was able to let go alive, my buddys dogs got on the brute
