One of the best bulldogs I ever had was a chocolate bulldog about 55lbs kind of a tall dog. Some friends of mine owned him at first. When we would hunt together I would haul him for some reason when I did it seemed like we usually caught a good boar because I like to have got him killed several times and then they started putting a vest on him and he would miss just about every hog and eventually run it down. They was going to cull him so I got him as i knew what he would do I've caught a pile of big hogs with him. I don't run vest on bulldogs so when I started back hunting him he was on. I don't know if it was the vest or not but it sure seemed to be. He wasn't a wide open dog he would just pace all the way and ear everytime. He didn't bark or pull he was laid back until unsnapped. I personally think if a bulldog try's to start catching the nose it's going to miss a good bit more. That may be the case with yours I do not know that but could be
And I had one named Mac he was a red bulldog about 70lbs he was slow but noting but ear. I was hunting in a baypen one time and bayed a earless hog and turned him loose we was sitting there waiting for the catch he never caught so we sent in another bulldog we get to the hog Mac was running circles around it looking for a ear he didn't know what to do without a ear there. He was the hardest locking bulldog I've ever been around his eyes would roll back in his head and it didn't matter what you did it was going to be job getting him off I didn't mind crawling in any thicket behind him. We caught a lot of hogs with him and he wasn't ever cut bad I got to retire him to old age and lack of teeth. That's about the best two I ever had or been around. The ones I got now will catch but I'm always ready to climb a tree lol I think a lot of the old bulldogs are being bred out now trying to get a certain look because I haven't seen many good ones in a couple years
