Deputy Dawg picked myself, Slayde, and his buddy Daniel this morning. We cast dogs and they worked an area in the first set of woods and ended up getting bayed about 650 from us. They were in and out several times but finally got bayed. On the way to them a boar broke across the pasture and we sent both catch dogs. They did a great job of running him down and a terrible job of holding him. He was 150ish and got away from the two of them and ended up in the river. We got him dead and headed to the bay. Sent both dogs again and they caught a spotted boar about the same size. He didn’t get away. The bay dogs were there to help and had him by the elbows and the brake pedal. The dogs relayed and got bayed again in a BAD briar patch, they were thick and hung like curtains. We sent both catch dogs and they hit, it broke about 20 feet and they had it caught. Again though, the bay dogs were on the brake pedal and had this little boar sitting. They relayed again and went north. It wasn’t long and we hear the brush moving. Ole Outlaw is coming through and in a hurry. He was staying flat with only the slightest head movement to maneuver through the brush at a VERY fast pace. The wind was blowing right into his face and in just a minute he had another one but we couldn’t keep him from getting across the river. We got Ranger, Rooster, and Outlaw and headed home. If we had let them cross the River it would’ve taken us a good while to get around and into them. It’s too hot for all that. It was a decent hunt I just can’t figure out how these catch dogs can be so sorry!

That's sad cause those catchdogs are going backwards in their education.

Been there done that man,,, it kinds of reminds me of one of the greatest movies of all times in my book....
Smokey and the Bandit ,, when Ole Buffard T Justice tells his boy,, " There aint no way you could come from my loins"...
How can a man raise the same line of dogs and a brother or sister in the same litter be any different than one another.. Somes got it and some aint.. I feel your pain because that is the same boat my son is sitting in with this last DOGO,, Im afraid hes got too high of a bar to try and keep held high ,, figure he is gonna have a lot of head scratchin for us in the future to try and replace that caliber..

Oh man Highwater, you have people looking at me crazy for laughing out loud!
That high bar got there from experiencing what is possible for a dog to achieve. He didn’t dream it up or set it there out of ignorance. He knows it can be done because he’s seen it done and more than once. That’s exactly the conversation Deputy Dawg and I had going to the bay. He asked if we were being unrealistic. I told him no. I asked how many years we had dogs that met the bar or surpassed it? We didn’t see one dog do it, we saw multiple dogs. A vast majority of them were related but the last couple I pictured on the other thread weren’t and they met the bar as well. So it’s absolutely possible. The question is, will we lower our standards or continue to weed through them until we finally find the needle in the haystack? Myself I’m looking for the needle in the haystack.

Hate to hear it about your bulldogs but you know yourself, the good ones very seldom miss or if they make contact, it is a caught hog. The problem is you cant cull it until you have something better to replace it with. On the bright side those bay dogs are cranking.
