I've seen plenty of bulldogs that have and can find a hog, but I don't go calling them striking catch dogs. To me, you have dogs and bulldogs...plain and simple. Dogs find hogs, bay hogs and may catch hogs. Bulldogs catch hog.
1 + 1 = 2

bulldogs aren't the only dogs that catch.
i have had airdales, curs, stag crosses, and have seen bird dogs, and hound crosses that will all range out, hunt for, and strike a hog and have never ever bayed. if a dog consistantly strikes hogs, you can call him a strike dog, wether or not he bays or catches. just because a dog is a strike dog, doesn't mean he is a bay dog.

X2 my ridgeback pit will hunt 300 to 400 yards and finds his own hogs. He runs step for step with my hound crosses and does not bay. If he is finding hogs he is a strike dog. My other dogs can find a hog also so he doesn't start every hog. I would call him my top dog tho. |

let me rephrase-- a catch dog is a catchdog...stag, poodle, whatever got that works. You can dress up a lot of things and make them look different, but call them what they are. My opinion is still hunting dogs and catchdogs. Would someone that has one of these strike dogs that wont bay please expand on how this dog is used and what is the purpose? Does anyone have a strike dog that is a cur dog that wont bay?

i've got two...
the case is a little different. i use them on cattle. i expect them to hunt, find, and catch just like i expect my bay dogs to hunt, find, and bay.

Jon I think there are quite a few curs out there that can strike but they will try and catch before they bark.
Some I would consider true CD's....most...bay busters.

I have a friend that has A couple of dogs that he casts, usually one at a time. He has other dogs thathe turns in to them when they locate. Because of the way he has hunted these dogs on a regular basis, they have pretty much learned their rolls. He calls them strike dog or bay dog. What they are called by him is all in accordance to what his primary use for them is. His strike dog will bay but his first and main job is to find. Same with the bay dogs, they mainly there to bay. It don't mean they couldn't find a hog, but that's not the job he has them there for. Not the way most of us like to hunt but it must work for him. That's what I see as the difference in "bay dog" or "strike dog".
