How do you know you have a good catch dog?

Short answer is if you catch most of the hogs you bay. But things happen. Now I was once informed by some people on this board yrs ago that manner don’t make a bull dog and I would say it’s 90% of it cuz if they won’t catch there not going to work no matter what. A dog that holds no matter what is a check mark. If he gets there fast but not stupid that’s a check mark. If he can hold without help that’s a check mark. I have alway taught mine to let go and chill out but a lot won’t but if they do it’s a check mark. Now I should be able to tie them beside the hog and not act stupid most won’t but if they do it’s a check mark. Being a good swimmer is a check mark. Knowing the left side of the truck vs the right side is a check mark. Knowing the green truck from the black truck is a check mark. Loading up with zero contact is a check mark. Your buddy saying hey bring so and so is a check mark. One thing that will send them on is re grip your gone. Bite another dog your gone. Hard to handle your gone. If he lets go on his own he gone. If it ever shows any aggression to anyone in the family gone.
