Large catch dog 55+ lbs VS small catch dog 50 and below

I was given a pair of pups in late 2016 that are 1/2 pit, 1/4 AB, and 1/4 Staghound. They are 19 months old now. Both have become very nice catch dogs. The female is an athletic, 75lbs and looks like an athletic bulldog. The male is 95 lbs and looks like a greyhound on steroids. My catch rate has improved quite a bit with them. They get to bays fast and if a hog breaks, they will run them down. A hog has no chance to get away in open country. The thick brush slows them down just like any other dog. The size, wind, and athleticism comes in handy. They have brains and handle like a dream.

I have hunted with some top shelf dogos, AB’s, and pits. There are good dogs in all of them. A pair of 40lb pits are hard to beat in the brush. The good AB’s have a very nice, controlling catch style. Probably the best option if you use a solo catch dog. The good dogos are like athletic AB’s that can run hogs down regularly and work well as a lead ins.
