I guess Im lucky because the first cd I got at 4 months ran threw the little square in the cattle panel at the bay pen and caught , I bought a registered old family red nose [ game bred ] at 20 months , never seen a hog before I got and is one of the best , no aggression , follows a mule , walks beside me, ect. , I bred the two and kept 2 males and at 5 months they both will catch and working on handle at this time , theres a lot of people that dont have to much faith in red noses but thats all Ive owned and I havent seen a better all around CD with the kinda handle , and skills as my male red nose, skills as in walking threw a herd of cows and calfs on mule and staying 2 steps behind my mule never leaving until a bay, not being dog aggresive , the only thing someone could teach me is how to get them off without a break stick , I havent been able to get that one down yet , there aint no letting go
I had a fifty pound solid red red nosed pit that was an awesome catch dog...caught solid on the ear the first time he saw a pig...he was of the better known pitbull lines.
