Good post red river. People always think adding pit will answer there dreams of having a rough dog ya its a easy fix but your just taking away from each breed. Imo

I agree 100%. I've made the bulldog/baydog cross several times over the years and raised the pups, and spent all that time getting them going and all that work, etc. It jut seems to never pay off. The results are just too inconsistent in the pups, and if you just reach in the puppy pen and decide to keep the "2 best ones" (lol) and sell the rest or whatever, you just don't know if you're picking the right ones. You waste a lot of time and get disappointed when they turn out to be straight catch dogs "or" straight bay dogs. So you really need to keep the whole litter to see this project through until the end. For me, it just costs too much and its too inconsistent. Now I can breed my two best bulldogs together, and I can almost guarantee that they are gonna catch . . . every one of them. The same can be said for breeding you two best find/bay dogs together. You know what you're gonna get, or at least have a pretty good idea because your breeding similar traits. When you cross two totally different breeds with two totally separate functions . . . it just seem to "cross-fire" as I like to call it. I call it buying "scratch off" tickets.
It's so much easier to let the other fellow do the experimenting and then just go buy the end result from him. All you're really doing at the end of the day is buying the other man's hard work. You ALWAYS come out cheaper.
