3/4 pit-1/4 greyhound.  1/2 and 1/2 just looks like a greyhound but 75/25 seems to be the best mix.  Get the best of both worlds, bottom and catch.  It is either that or go old school on em and tailgate about 10 rough cur dogs.  You better get there quick if you wanna tie it though.  Hahah A good set of rough cur dogs will shut down just about anything.

One of the fastest danes i ever owned, used him to chase yoties and couple pigs outta the fields, crazy catch dog too, never used a vest on him but he never could handle back woods. IMO dont get one unless you know you got ALOT of flat, clear land

^6 months^

Dont mind the kid lol

^10 months^

i have a great dane cross pit bull.  very fast, just as hard as any pit, and doesn't eat anymore then any other dog i own.  We are stopping runners now in places we couldn't before him.  I actually stopped hunting a place due to runners and i am now hitting it every chance i get and catching when he is on the ground.  I run that blue duncan vest on him now and he can run all night long with the curs.  He has had a few cuts by some bigger boars but is getting smarter with every catch.  I have yet to have trouble with him olding pigs in the upper 200 lbs range by himself.  I think he is around 13 to 14 months old now.

Thanks Krystal, that means a lot to me coming from you.  Not sure about the dogo part though.  Grin
He is a very strong dog.  During a tourny hunt a few weeks ago he made my buddies and I laugh.  he was carrying about 100 lbs sow through a wheat field.  I had to chase him down to get her.  It sounds like bull number #2 i know but it's the God honest truth.  i couldn't even run i was laughing so hard.

Dont mean to steel this thread but Matt I didnt know you had Slick now....he is looking real good!!!

I would like the chance one day to try a great dane/pit  or  great dane/dogo, but im not sure about a pure great dane though, I would have to see one catch in person.

yes cristina i have had him for about 6 months now.  he has been on about 70 pigs now.  Far from finished but on the way.  He is my favorite dog and probably the best i have ever owned. 

Ok sorry for going of topic on post.  i agree with most, if your looking for speed i can see you crossing with other dogs, but me personally wouldn't want a full blood dane.  I like the size of my slick dog. The legs help him a lot which i assume came from the dane.  He is not too big and not too small in my eyes.  He goes through fences like any other cur dog.  A dane may be hard and use there nose well, but for me not crossing fences is a problem.

only bad thing ive learned is that the great danes we know now have the aggresion bred out of them

the only ones that hunt are the ones that have been trained that way

You can get something much smaller to do the job and not have to feed it 50 dollers a week in food...

well i dont know anything about great danes ,    BUT  after watching hogs gone wild  Wink    ....    i'd say if you

1 have a good spotlight

2 keep him from getting overheated

3 keep him away from barbwire

4 cut his tongue off so he dont trip over it

5 spend ENOUGH TIME TRAINING HIM TO DO WHAT OTHER DOGS ARE BORN KNOWING TO DO

    then you mighjt have yourself one truly amazing boarhound !
