See this is what I am talking about almost everything yall have mentioned are rough curs.  I know of a couple cats that are what I am speaking of but they aint for sale. Jay hutto has one and kbar on here has the other.  If they are barking they aint a running catch dog but a rough cur dog.  A lot of guys say they like these types of dogs but no one is hardly breeding for them that I can find.  the type of dog I speak of is aussie style finder holder NOT a rough cur dog.

Purebreed,
   
      I had a pit RCD, and have been around others. Ran loose with the curs, caught when they bayed. Would come back and tattle if they were trashing. He was 100% trashbroke, and hunted loose horseback.   Also had a cur dog that did the same thing, no bark, just straight catch. He didn't care to find his own hog, just caught the ones other dogs found for him.

You mention aussie style finder holder... I take that to mean the dog is supposed to find it AND catch it.... that's not what I think of when someone mentions a RCD, an RCD to me is a 100% catch dog that is run loose with the pack.

[Purebreedcolt]

See sc your the type I'm looking for you bred for the catch and hunt. Not what 90 percent of so called rcd are is accadents pit bred my strike dog deals.

Landon, my hunting buddy has a mighty fine stag, if he finds the right pit, dogo, or ab bitch to breed, they would be mighty fine rcds. I believe you have a good female dogo, right?

[skunkhounds]

i thought thats what a dogo was a rcd

[T-Bob Parker]

Not all the time, plus hairy dogs are cooler 

[skunkhounds]

ya i kinda like the ugly dog myself lol

I have been crossing a Dogo and Catahoula for 13 years and have a few out that are doing a great job.

Called Catdo's


Have three now, one is 7 year old, one 5 years old and one three.
When I go by myself I let one run on ground and one on leash for back up.

[bluecrazy123]

i use to call him a RCD now he is my main strike dog.....anything under 200 is caught right off the bat if it is over that he will bay as long as it doesnt move......if it tries to run sit down or gives him the opportunity its over with he will latch and your gonna have hell gettin him off

[Purebreedcolt]

Yes Mr Mason I had a memory lapse you are another and probally one of the few to make a dogo work crossed with a generally bay dog with any type of numbers.  Circle c guess to me a rcd is a little of it all close range don't just hang at your feet but don't go a mile hunting hit the hog and hold it till I get there rather I have other dogs on the ground or not.  Tbob yeah I have a 5/8 dogo 3/8 ab that is proven on staged hunts and has more nose than my sposed to be find dogs I think lol but she aint proven yet I don't think

[Txmason]

Here is how I go when I hunt by myself,
One bay dog, one Catdo running on the ground, and one Catdo on lease.


Lex, Catdo, Bob find and bay B/M, Rock, Catdo, brother too Sojo in east Texas.

I expect at least a little bit of range from any catch dog.  Pits generally have a good nose and can hunt hard in scent.  I've seen a few that could trail.  Lots of folks, don't let them hunt "off leash" so they are never given the chance to prove any other ability than catching.  Pits seem to trash break themselves, and mine tattle on the Jagds too.
Good pits are hard to find, but there are lot of cheap and free candidates out there.

i geuss i was wrong to say  just rough cur dogs . thats what i called em . they are straight catahoula;s [nalc]reg. that hunt for hogs hard . but they will catch and hold what they can and back off and bay what they can't but it ain't going no where when they find it with out dogs hanging onto whatever till it stops runnin again  wich ain't very far . but they do take a beating. my old male cat. he's gone now but all my dogs have his blood in them. he'd be beat down and baying oon a 300# hog but that hog was allways missing a right ear. i killed alot of hogs with that ol'' man hog didn't get him he got some kind of illness at 7 years old and vet couldn't fix it .  they all worked medium to close style wich we didn't have to go far to fibd hogs and i was allways right there close [on foot] to rope a leg and help em out, we tied up and pulled out as many as we stuck , i say we but just my dogs and me.

ya mine will wind and trail some too, but how long will a pit last runnin before hes wore out? thats the problem

landon iv got some yellow dogs that have hardly any bark. they just run in and catch on the ear. ask yellow black mask he has seen these dogs catch, and his friend said they catch hard. i dont call them rcd, they strike hogs to , iv got a litter on the way

[TColt]

I just bred my soco dog (dogo) to Missy's catdo that is out of Pauls line of catdos. The catdo is out of AJ, one of pauls best strike dogs (catahoula). My soco dog is a hell of a strike dog himself, I can't hunt him alone as a one out, even strikes pigs in dry @ss Lubbock in hot weather. Should be some jam up dogs however you want to use them, not sure if any will be available though.

Soon as I get some more room, I'm gonna start working on a line of rcd/ finder holders to stop all these runners. I will probably be working on this in conjunction with some other good dog men as well who are already working for this.

As many of you may already know, I ain't much for leading in a cd, especially when bays ain't holding well.

[tmatt]

Noble, it.depends on the dog. I have dogs that can run all day and be ready to catch when they need to. A guy got a male from me and when he was conditioning him he was using the truck to exercise him. He would do 8 miles in the morning with him and between 5 and 8 miles at night. The night work varied in the beginning depending on heart rate and recovery but at the end of 30 days he was doing 8 miles both morning and night with every other day off. He would do springpole and bite work with him on the days off.

A pit will last as long as it can.  The crazy pits with alot of muscle bulk are likely to give out sooner, than the calm or more athletic ones.  They normally hunt closer and check in more often, so it's not like they are expected to match curs and Jagds step for step.

The advantage is if you see a hog rooting in a field, or have a real small piece of property to hunt the pits catch the instant they find a hog or miss and get out run.  When I hunt close to houses, and highways, they are my go to dogs.  Used that way it's all or nothing, but rarely a long drawn out race. 

My point was there are free and cheap adult pits everywhere you look.  They can make a "finder / holder" dog.  You will have to try a few to find the right one, but they can do the job.

Blade will bark when he first gets there and then he's caught. Back in the Spring he started and bayed a shoat about 75 lbs by himself.He barked a few times and quit. I knew he was caught. With the exception of a good boar. He'll bark and as soon as the CD comes in hes on it.

Diesel, Zachs Cat, is pretty catchy too, but he'll bark some. He is only a year old tho.

But I wouldnt consider either a RCD. My impression was a RCD will run and catch running. My dogs usually catch when the hog bays. Unless its pigs , then its just run and gun, leaving carnage in their wake.
