Not to hijack the thread being discussed but a catch dog is just as important as a strike dog. They both go hand-n-hand. I am not saying to spend alot of money on either but both are vital to having success.
I agree that a CD is important but not near as important as a good strike dog, Folks can get it done without a CD but not without a strike dog but what Im getting at is you can find 50 good CD's in the time its take to breed, raise and try to use a bulldog in hog hunting. Its gonna be alot cheaper also. I for one dont have the time or patience to do this. Gator, red nose, blue, black, pink poke a dotted doesnt matter to me. I like the ole breeders that keep this world full of great potential CD's, the Ghettos and projects breeders and they are useally free.

Ben, Im going to have to agree with Randy on this one.
I know people can and do get it done without CDs, but if your style involves using CDs i also see them as being just as important as a strike dog.
Id rather put alittle money into a well breed, good tempermental dog that i can have around my other dogs and family and not worry about them fighting or trying to bite someone.
I dont know if Randy still raises pits, but i would much rather buy a dog from him, than to go to the ghetto and get one of Big Mo's fight breed "Gata Moufs"

JMO!!
Pits are just like Strike dogs, many of them get the job done, but few have ALL the traits a hog dogger wants.
