I expect at least a little bit of range from any catch dog.  Pits generally have a good nose and can hunt hard in scent.  I've seen a few that could trail.  Lots of folks, don't let them hunt "off leash" so they are never given the chance to prove any other ability than catching.  Pits seem to trash break themselves, and mine tattle on the Jagds too.
Good pits are hard to find, but there are lot of cheap and free candidates out there.
