I've been fortunate with my catch dogs. I've done one breeding and I have a heck of a male size wize but he's a lil too wide. I prefer pits. I was into pits before I even started hunting hogs. I have a female that's a house dog that if I'd let her would catch everyone of my pigs. She's more on the lean side and not as wide but she don't have much of a head on her or jaw size. I'm thinking of crossing my big bulky 90 lb big headed pit back to my lean athletic leggy gyp.
The one I kept out of my last litter specifically for catching ain't nothin' but a black block headed catchin' machine. He's a year and a half and hasn't missed an ear and can get to a bay quick regarless of how thick it is and is stout enuff to hold for a long time and then still have some for another pig.
So I guess in general I like pits that are from 65-90 lbs with a big head and good wide front but then from there to the back with a lot of leg about knee high. I've really liked the looks of the "Old Family Reds" just don't have any true ones close to me and they are pretty pricey but if I had the money I'd ship one in.
