It depends on what you want the strike dog to do. A catahoula x pit will most likely grab a hog, a lot of people use those as catch dogs. If you want a strike dog that finds and bays a hog then I would suggest getting some type of cur that doesn't have any pit in it. Usually pit = grab. Thats just my oppinion...hope it helps.

yes a pit or pit cross will most likely be a gritty, catchy dog. try a plott, catahoula, black mouth cur, or airdale. you want a strike dog to bay and keep the hog contained untill ur catch dogs get there not try to solo catch and then possibly have a running hog and no bay dog. good luck. there are alot of good dogs on this board.  |

I also agree with Hogger.I like Cats and BMCs myself but will run a Yorkie if he will find me hogs.I like a dog with a little hound in them but almost everyone I have seen was wide open on a track,but then again that can happen with all the breeds.

bull has a point, hounds are mostly open mouth dogs and tend to bark on a fresh track. i had a ridgeback not to long ago that we turned out on hogs about 20 yards away in an oats field and she was barking from when she hit the ground till she had em bayed. and also if one dog trail barks more than likely most of the other dogs will too and you dont want that in most cases. but i dont know how u like to hunt.

I have a male Cat that will bay his @ss off and never catch, at least not yet, then I have a Cat gyp that will kill a 100 or less lb pig. I didn't teach them this, it's just in thier nature. I started and trained them together, breeding pair, the male is a real good strike dog while the gyp is more of a help dog. It seems from what I've seen the males of several breeds make a better strike dog but that is a bold statement and I'm sure someone will correct that opinion.  |
