Thank you have wanted to ask this for a while but didnt want to start a fight. How honest are the contests know some guts are but have heard storys about the winners hogs ears not torn at all heck we get to them quick and ears sometimes are still riped some. Just asking because this is a big reason I wont enter contests.
My bulldogs will stay caught for a while with little or no damage done to the ears if I have a bulldog tearing ears off I will cull because if your bulldog tears a ear off every time you can only catch a hog twice before he has no ears
I think you might be getting confused on what they are talking about , if a dog catches hog you can see he had been caught even if it does not tear the ear up , you can see the hog had had his ear caught or bit ,
There been a few hogs at tourneys that had no such sign of this , mayb there catch dogs caught somewhere eles who knows ,
