Those are the kinds of posts I was lookin for. I had a older fellow tell me today that pits can't swim well and don't take the heat very well and tire quickly. I know better but said nothing out of respect. I don't have the luxury of large huntin properties where my dogs can run for hours trailing a hog. With the hogs gettin smarter and running more I figured that I would run some catching machine with the thought that why run a hog for miles when I can catch him before he has a chance to run.

Most of the guys around here run 1/2 pits or bulldogs for that reason. Some even run their bulldogs, and pits on the ground with the curs. Like I said in my post if I could afford to I would run an all DOGO pack for that reason. I want the hogs caught on sight, and any type of race avoided. I can not have hour long or more races. If the dogs can not stop it and hold it in a short distance then let that hog go. There are more right where they found him. |

 this is Obama He's a lead in CD, catches straight ear.. his only downfall is that he has too much hunt in him.. For intance if you're a 100 or 200 yardsout from the bay and you turn him loose, he's headed to the bay all business but if he happens to cross a fresh hog track along the way he'll peel off and try and find that hog.. A few times we've had to wait on him to make his way back to the bay before we could catch the hog! lots of times when he peels off though he has found and caught the hog until we get there |

this is my dog rose she can find her own hog and have hunted her solo and caught many hogs, i like to run her next to my 4 wheeler and jump hogs, she also runs with my bmc and finds just as many as the cur, she dose get winded faster but she will run all night, the only prob is when she out hunts the curs and finds a bad one and there is no dogs to hear, she hase come back after a few hours tore up, I really would like to use her as a lead in cd but i only have 1 bay dog now and she dont like to hunt alone wont stay with hog too long, but rose can do it all except bay w[  IMG]http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af345/chopper_2010/109_0079.jpg[/IMG]hen needed. |

Why is it that everybody always says runa vest? Vests are not the cure all for catchdogs. If a guy prefers NOT to run a vest that is his right. I don't and NEVER will run a vest on my bulldogs. I have seen too many over heat, and get hung up in brush to justify running one on them. I do run them on my DOGOs but they seem to handle the heat better and I have yet to see one hung up in brush. Now fences and bobwire are another story LOL.
I will get off my soapbox now LOL, but come on folks quit telling folks how to hunt their dogs. Just because you like and run vests does not mean others do.

So you vest up the Dogos b/c they cost more? I am confused. Pits get hung up in brush but not a dogo? I dont care what someone does with their dog, I am not the one feeding it. |

No I am not vesting the dogos because they cost more. As I stated they seem to handle the heat better with a vest on then most of the pits I have seen vested. Most of the dogs at that time that folks we hunted with had had to have the vest removed as soon as we killed the hog, and the dog cooled off as they were over heating. I do not know what it is but when we hunted with folks who vested their pits or bulldogs they were caught up by the brush but the DOGOs never seemed to be, BUT a bobwire fence would cause them hell. I will run my dogs as needed vest or no vest. On very humid hot nights the vests never leave the truck on a dog. Other then my curs bay vest, and I make damn sure it is wet/damp to help with the heat. As he is the only male left out of my old lines and very gritty. SO I am doing what I can to keep him alive long enough for me to get the pup(s) I want out of him. Even then he gets the vest pulled off some nights and I take the chance of getting him killed, BUT then again I run that chance no matter what when ever I drop my tailgate.
It is all personal preferance. I could care less what a person ran on their dog. If they ran a pink tootoo and it worked for them great. I just get tired of reading posts telling folks to "vest that dog" as if vests are the end all to problems.

No that is not dumb just a fact that you have seen. One that I have seen as well. I feel that a vest on some dogs hinder and hurt their hunting ability then helps/protects them. |
