Australian Bandog

Brendan all the dogs you've posted are nice. Honestly I'm probably more fond of the 2 males especially the dark brindle male. EVERYBODY has their own idea of what perfect type is. There are so many different styles of hunting in the states that what works for one might not work for another. Example, JudgePeel runs a shorter range rough set of dogs. If they are baying it's gonna be a sounder of hogs or a big nasty rascal, otherwise they catch out without a catch dog. He doesn't like the bigger style dogs personally. All he needs is something that will go get ahold of big nasty and the rest are going to join in. Myself, I like a 75-95# athlete. I want something that is big enough to handle whatever I point him at l by himself. I hunt deeper ranging dogs that will pull hair but by no means rough. I am also subject to load one strike dog and one catch dog and hunt that way. Again the dog is going to have to be able to handle whatever I point him at because he isn't going to have much help if any. I also have places where I get the opportunity to catch in the open field. For that the dog obviously needs some wheels and to be able to get up over and out of the grass and weeds. Equally important to me though is brains and disposition. I want me catch dog to be thinking on his feet a d making any necessary adjustments. After he is caught I want him to have the ability to hit the off switche and chill out while I finish getting the hog tied. Sit back, relax and listen for the next bay. You can catch hogs all day everyday with that style be ause he recovers so quickly. If you get deep in the brush and happen to get a dog hurt bad and have to pack it out, that 75-95# dog is heavy, but that 120# dog is gonna test you lol. I've gotten in that bind with small, medium, and large dogs and the biggest difference was I had to bury the smaller dog and the large 100+ like to have killed me getting it out. But looks wise, the darker male is my ideal look. Hope this helps you out.
