To get it back on topic some, does superior gameness mean it's a great catch dog? Not really. As was said, dead game means the dog lost. I have been around plenty pits that were awesome catch dogs and plenty that weren't but we're super game. I've also been around big American bulldogs, dogos, and the big finder holder types that were way superior as catch dogs to game pits. I think everyone agrees that know one on here likes a big, slow, bad breathing, sloppy dog.
Good point and I agree, I don't think gamebred dogs overall make the best catch dogs, in fact depending on what you are calling a gamebred dog I don't think they are suited to be catch dogs. I would say the best catch dogs I have seen have all been quite a few generations removed from the pit. This is just my opinion.
I agree a lot with this statement, the biggest problem I’ve seen with using dogs from the box to hunt with that they shake bad once they have a bite, trying to disable their opponent instead of worrying about control, and I’ve seen it to many times they get so worked up that when they go into a bay they usually bounce off the hog and miss, this not always the case though, my best catchdogs were never my straight game bred dogs when I had them, I always found the most success with half to a quarter hot blood crossed over some cooler milder stock...
