[hogdoggintexas]

i want to see what kind of catch dogs you run whst size and breed and if you have pics of them

[Circle C]

Both of our lead in catch dogs are AB, 

Here is a picture of Rosie, she is the larger of the two




Here is Meathead, last time he hit the scales he was 90#, and he has put on a little weight since then.

I lucked into my current catch dog about a month or so ago.  Some of you probably know him as Zorro, others as Zeus.  Dogo/AB cross.  Handles like a dream and catches like a freight train.  Funny thing about him is that I've caught eight hogs with him since I got him and six of the eight didn't squeal a bit.  I still haven't figured out if it's coincidence or perhaps the way he takes care of business, but it sure makes running in behind him interesting.

Jasper 1/2Dogo 1/2 AB 80lbs we think he is a brother to Zoro,hits hogs like a mack truck, and Little bulldog AB 40lbs , young agile catchdog.

Paul,

   Have you ever weighed Jasper, or is the 80# a guess. He sure looks a lot heavier than that in the pictures.

We usually run a #60-75 dog, usually has a little Pitt, most of the time released from the box.

The brush and grain fields during the summer can do a number on those bigger bulldogs. We try to keep them smaller and cool running.

Chris, I weighed him last year when I had him in summer running shape(thin) and he weighed 75lbs, he is probaly 80-85lbs now. I might put him on the scales again just to see...He is wearing an extra Lg. Vest in that pic. He is a big leggy finished catch dog that I can use as a R.C.Dog if I need to. I am lucky to have him, most people that see him catch just say WOW...I got him when he was young, and started him nice and easy. The bigest hog he has caught on his own weighed over 600lbs. I have been using him for the last 2 1/2 years and he has caught 200 plus pigs for me, I love him.

Paul,

Your dog looks a lot like mine.  Probably are brothers...I think both came from Krystal.  Mine also has a lot of wind to him.  I specifically wanted a dogo or dogo cross as the dogos were specifically bred as an endurance hound with the size necessary to get the job done.  Zorro/Zeus also REALLY likes to hunt, and will stay out a long time if let out to run with the other dogs.  (Actually found that out by accident!)

any 1 know where to get a dogo

[Circle C]

Paul,

  Nice pictures.  You and Bryant have some nice looking dogs, The more I am around the big white dogs the more I like them. The general opinion that I have formed is that I tend to like the dogo/bulldog cross more than the straight bulldog or straight dogo. It just happens that I have two ab's that work well for me, though I would love for them to have some more wind.

Guys, Jasper was the first "real" catchdog I ever got to see work.  When he says the dog makes an impression, he isn't kidding.  That sucker should wear a cape.  When Jasper gets to a bay, the game is over.  All you gotta do is walk in & do what you wanna do with the hog.  He is big, powerful, and just a pleasure to see work.  That dog loves to catch a hog.  He is truly a special animal.  It's hard for me to watch other catch dogs after seeing Jasper work.  If he were mine, he'd probably live in the house all the time, I'd ruin him I'm sure.

On the other hand, Paul's "little bulldog" (yes, that's his name) is no slouch either.  He's coming along nicely.  I got to see little bulldog on his first solo catch & the little rascal put the hammer on that hog.
