In my opinion you don't need to up intensity for a catch dog, the best catch dogs go from catching to laidback as soon as they are off the hog. I always thought 100# dog was too big till I saw a good one. I would be looking at something tighter lipped cause he will chew those lips up on a busy hog catching day. Sight hound may be good if you are hunting more open country but their way of catching is quite different than bulldog types so it may be inconsistent in the litter.
Ha. Those lips def get caught in bitework from time to time.
And you do have a point about catch style variation. I haven’t seen enough first generation crosses (bull lurchers) on hogs
But would think a 3/4 bull x Sighthound would keep that bite style consistent
I have a young male stag I’m growin up atm. Parents are coyote and hog dogs. Think I might have to use him later down the line
