Hey lil buddy most of these dudes are giving you good advice and I'm glad to see you exited but I would say you need to hook up with some guys that will show you the ropes and be prepared to do all the grunt work. I had no places to go and nobody to hunt with when I was 18 and I bought good dogs and basically ruined them, so my advice is find you some good humans first and the dogs will come in a few years. Oh and spca pits.

I think it has more to do with the training that the dogs gets. Most all dogos, pits, and ABs can catch a hog thats what they are bred to do, but not all have been trained to catch correctly.
I run Dogos because they do everything I need them to do, hunting or otherwise.
What do you call catching "correctly" ?

just keep an eye on craigslist. get a 100% pure bred pit. let it get fired up watching other dogs bark at a pig, maybe let it watch another dog catch the ear, then cut him loose. be sure to tie the hogs back legs to a tree so the dog will always be taking the hog head on. also, dont let him see a dog catch it anywhere but the ear. then let him catch the hog in a big pen un hobbled, then lead him into a bay until he sees the hog. and BOOM! you have a catch dog.... something to start with anyways. use that dog for a while then you can better decide what you want in a cd. just start with the basics, curs and pits, you're not going to get super dogs when you first start.

a CD should hold a boar by his ear and not fight it.

I know this guy that has the best guaranteed catch dogs you have ever seen. There is not a hog that one of this guys dogs can't catch and hold for hours. They never get cut. He breeds them to have skin like elephant hide. You can hunt them in 110 degree heat with 100% humidity, and they never get hot. He sells them finished for less than 100 bucks.
You ought to call him. 512-359-9679 Tell him that BigL gave you his number.
Do you really want to open that can up?

doggerdude14....It is good to ask questions and be open minded....but judging from your posts and comments I would recommend not buying a catch dog and gaining more experience and knowledge from lots of time in the woods.
Some of the the things you are requesting in a catch dog are not realistic. If you are looking for a dog to go find a hog and hold it for the strike dogs (then you are looking for a rough bay dog or running catch dog)...either way....that dog will end up getting cut or killed.
In my opinion you need to hunt with experienced, knowledgeable people and gain more experience and time in the woods. Then it would be a good time to start with a bay dog and not necessarily a pit or dogo.
Good luck!
