I like a fast 50lb red nose APBT with a good handle. This is my Rocky dog he is 53lbs soaking wet. I bred him last year to a bigger APBT gyp (65lbs) that my friend owns to add a little more size. This is my top pick Bear all the pups are catching pigs and shoats at 4mo old. I have seen some gritty curs and ppl use 3-4 dogs to catch 1 hog that's not my preference. It seems you get more cut up dogs that way. I have also seen some really good 1/2 Cur 1/2 Bulldog with great handle and all the brains you could ask for but in a bad spot with a rank hog they would "Cur Out" I think that's a chance u stand when crossing them. Find a nice Dogo female to cross your male too. From my understanding everything u just described could be found in a good Dogo. JMO
