who breeds true rcds

[Florida Curdog]

All my Dogos hunt off lead, I expect them to use their noses--- with the Garmin it’s MUCH easier now to KNOW where they are.

 I have a friend over in Pasco County who has been hunting his bulldogs (pits) off lead ---WITH AWESOME success---

 Bulldogs are PLENTY capable of doing the finding IF allowed matter fact I bet SOME can and will out strike Cur dogs IF ALLOWED---

 I have the up-most respect for the American Pit bull and honestly believe they been UNDER-USED.

 Their resumes TALK of extreme potential and AWESOME abilities and working ethics, I also believe that by JUST using them as catch dogs the wind as been breed out of them--- these are animals that where breed for many generations to LAST hours in extreme fighting conditions, endurance to the core.

 Folks---- these are just THEORIES of mine and I share them with the most respect.   NOT at all talking down on folks who use them as just catch dogs---

 I  HONESTLY believe and am VERY convinced that the American pit bull terrier IS PLENTY CAPABLE of MORE than just catching.

I agree. I've hunted many nights with just a bulldog on the ground & produced a lot of swine. They would wind, trail & catch their own hogs better then a lot of curs I have seen people use.

I understand what yall  are saying but the words you use are jacked.  Strike, Bay, RCD, and Catch.  Finder, Holder?   You Texas boys are spoiled with that dry land and huge fourwheeling properties.  Yeah we have those down here but the magority of us don't hunt them unless we get some special invite.  Fl curs have changed.  Used to be a "do it all" dog now guys are ruining the lines cause all the newbies.  No experience, accidental breeding, dog peddl'n.  Used to be you could have good dogs given to you.   Now the market is flooded with newbies offering up biig bucks for the wrong dogs.  Plenty of capable dogs are ruined due to lazy dogmen.  They expect the dog to just do it.  It takes training.  Trial and error, experience and learning from mentors.  I have my own forum for educational purposes and trying to keep the young guys on the right track but this whole entitlement generation don't want to work for it.  For a dog to reach it's potential, you must have a plan.  You got to want it!  Cull hard and don't sell your chiteaters!  New to this site.  Don't want to sound pessimistic but it don't take a perfect dog to produce hogs.  Many breeds will do it.  Certain dogs will serve you best on different terrain.  I have had plenty of young buck come out with their "finished dogs at 1 year old.  Couldn't catch a hobbled hog.  But they know everything and never shut the heck up.  Texting while their hunting and showing off pictures of hogs they didn't catch.  Once you find you a pack that works for where you hunt, you have to step back and think to yourself........self......I need to protect these dogs so I can have a decent line.   No.... everyone wants Now Now Now.  If you don't want your dogs to get beat up don't hunt hogs with dogs.  It happens!  Get you some bay dogs that will run you across the county with your atv and shoot.  If you want to have HOGDOGS.  One month ago I lost my bad a** catch dog, got my lead dog stitched, lost a puppy to severed achilles and my RCD got 150 stitches.  All in a matter of minutes.  The Boar hog beat me and my pack.  The challenge is to get back ASAP an d figure that badboy out.   For months before that we had nothing but minor flesh wounds here and there.  It takes time and experience.  You know where to get the best dogs.  Florida!  Man my fingers are tired and I'm up way too late!  All Do respect to everybody who don't fall into my criticism
