NO offense but why the ear and not the jaw to me the jaw is much more solid and more control

Every natural catch dog I ever went to the woods with went for the ear first, So I have never questioned the bull dogs reasoning, it would seem to me a quicker more sure catch than the jaw but thats JMO

Most of the consistant jaw catching dogs i've seen were missing most of their teeth and always cut inside the mouth and under the jaw... see many tongues hanging out with their mouths closed.
I like an ear catch with the dog tucked in beside the hog's body.

you called that one Mike but the trade off being the loosing his footing by getting lifted over the head and getting cut in the vitals

Yep, Mike you got it right. Once that dog figures it out and puts his body parallel with the hog, he will just walk beside him so he cant get cut..and that goes for gritty cur dogs as well as catch dogs

For me all my dogs lock down solid I train the ear as a second choice but I do understand what you are saying and agree a dog that lays in against the body has good control I just watch vids and see the dogs getting pitched far more likely to come off

There are natural jowl dogs as well...ultimately, as long as they catch and stay hooked somewhere on the head it's good to me.

seems to me the ear is like a perfect handle the dog can get all his teeth on it and clamp the jaw just dont seem like it fits right or is harder to get as many teeth on, i see your point about dog getting flipped over top of hogs head where the hog can chew on him i had a good dog that would catch jaw and top of snout but they all get cut sooner or later

Before I had a big red nose male that would always grab the top of the nose and turn his head to the side and a bitch that would grab the throat they killed many big boars on there own that is what made me start training for the Jaw

Here's an example of why I don't like the ear...  They're detachable!  |

BigAina that is the result of a dog shaking and tearing.
You don't get that so bad if they just hold on like they are suppost to.

If the dog gets a deep lock on the ear right beside the head, that paralizes the hog. At that point the hog is unable to fight back. A few months ago one of my CDs started catching the jaw and soon after that he had knocked out all four canines. I always train them to catch the ear only.

Grab a hog by the head and see what you end up holding on to.  |

If the hog doesn't have ears there going to grab where the ear used to be no problem, still the best place to hold the hog.

Years ago a buddy of mine had a brindle cur that got cut up pretty bad ONCE. Duke was a smart dog and from then on he got them on the front leg between the joint and the shoulder. He would lay against the hog and I never seen him get cut again.
