Only stating my opinions & a way i've learn to raise CD's to fit my style of hunting.. i'm about 4 yr. deep in this program .. got only 2 gen. of proven working stock but it's only getting better ..
started these two litter mates at 16weeks old , Hooch was sold to Cody L. in south La. on trial and Turner is my took his sire's place at CD .. Not the best CD's in the word , and i do start them young on hogs they can handle until i see they are ready to send to the bay .. Most people say it's a waste of time , when you can buy a $50.00 bulldog at 1-2yrs. old and catch hogs .. But the dogs i train don't drag you around the woods and are very well mannered .. I through Major , Hooche or Turner on the bike and don't have to snap or mind .. most spend all there free time training their strike and bay dogs , that they forget that the CD can be trained too ..
most of the time catch on the nose , lately they been catching on the ear .. i have seen Turner catch on the front leg , dew to the fact that the ears & nose where taking by the currs ..I broke him off and placed him on the ear a few time before tieing him up .. Just to leave on a positive note lol .. Now Hooch , i've seen him regrip on a shoalt .. First time in the woods i sent him behind a seasoned CD on the first bay , then sent him alone to the second one .. Both were 100lb sows and he caught the ear and held ..

The Brindle dog you see running around the hog in the video was given to me by a frend , he was an Alpha Blue Blood .. i Tried everything in the book to get him to catch ! even brought him in my house for a week , thought he might get protective over the family cause thats one of there strongest traits "So i was told." he was culled. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNBky8rLOzg&NR=1&feature=endscreen

This was a puppy hunt , and a meat hog .. for training perposes we let they chew on her a little .. Hooch is the Cow Patched dog ..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwyjtdL13mUPed.http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/public/printPedigree.php?dog_id=413756Hooked up with Lee Watkins out of Al. to make this breeding .. I been hearing about his gyp Bay Bay & how good of a CD she was .. So we line up a hunt to see them both work .. Lee usually let her run with the pack , she hunts her own also .. She is a well mannered dog , does not start with other dogs , but will finish it need be .. She is about 70-75 lbs. , good mouth with tons of stamina ..
Major is a well mannered , no agg., hard mouth dog with good stamina .. He is not the best . I've seen better catch , but as an all around dog you can't beat him .. Great handle , ride free in truck , lead in catch with out the lead .. Not a the style dog for everyone but has pulled his load on my yard ..
These pups will make great dogs for anything in the right hands , IMO .
