What is best in your opinion? Small or large. I like large because I feel like they won’t be as much of a “erring” for a big hog.
lot of good debate in this thread. and i could definately throw in my 2 cents too,lol. but back to the original question.... my personal opinion for the way ive hunted the last 20 some years is large. and in my case it was 60 to 90 pound american bulldogs. but for 20 years prior i rarely hunted with anyone who used a bulldog/ turn in catchdog. we just had dogs that typically would catch and hold once enough of em got there. i think the actions, size and ability of the other dogs will determine the size of catchdog you need. if you have dogs who will all grab and hold as soon as one dog is brave enough to grab the head then the size of the first dog to grab doesnt matter usually. when i first started using the american bulldogs , my partners pack consisted of mainly dogs that bayed and werent help on a good hog so basically the catchdog was the only dog holding. for that reason i prefered bigger bulldogs. currently my partner has rough/catchy dogs and in general bigger dogs also. with these dogs a small bulldog works just fine.
