Old man I sure hate that you lost ole Grip. He sounded like a really nice dog. Over the years I hunted with several pure Dogos and a few crosses. I can think of about three that were sure enough catch dogs. I’ve seen a few pure that were bonified bay dogs. The others caught ok but seemed to all have the habit of chewing. They would flat have an ear destroyed in no time. We all know that’s fine if you are right there to leg the hog before it’s one eared or if your eating it. If you are barring or selling them though, it makes it challenging. If it takes a while to get there you may have a bunch of dogs cut up because the ears are gone. To me that was I didn’t like about them. Now the those good ones I spoke of are much the same way you described Grip. Your pups nature sounds like my Apollo dog with the being high strung. He is too around the house or when I go out to feed, but he handles well in the woods. I couldn’t ask him to learn any faster.

I’m glad to see you back on the board. I’ve been thinking I needed to pick up the phone and check on you and then life gives me another something to do. Hope you’ve been well!
