Your ideal catch dog... specifics please...

well I struck out with my last 2 apbt's and they were as good looking as could be found...both about 80 pounds and they were basiclly culls...but I used to run gritty mtn curs that didn't need a catch dog...

For me...I would like to keep 2 dogs in my back yard with 1/4 to 1/8 nigerino and the rest mtn cur...and built more like a hard bodied and leggy mtn cur about 23 or 24 inches at the shoulder...the appearance more like that of an old time mtn cur but with a hint of bulldog in the jaw...I want to see speed, agility, heart, and plenty of natural muscle and power...yet have that refined look. chest not wide, but the loin and the hindquaters are built solid and muscular... but these are strike dogs first and stop dogs second...no need for straight catch dogs...
