Years ago in Georgia crossing American Bulldog (White English in those days) to bird dog or pointer produced some good bulldogs (sometimes called "long nosed bulldogs"). Anyone has any experience with this cross? Redbone hound was sometimes used instead of the bird dog.

I got a good one, and seen a few more. I like the birdbulls, mines a 50/50 hes a real good running catch dog and got some decent hunt to him. If i could figure out how to post pics id put him up here but technology is kickin my butt at the moment.

Decker: They resembled brindle black mouth curs without the blackmouth. Mine were mostly dark brindle, some were red with white. weighed about 70 pounds. They would catch and could run. When I move back to Florida I am going to cross an American Bulldog with a redbone, see what I get.

 The white dog is my bull/bird cross rcd, Bullet. He doesn't cover the ground my catahoulas do, but he hunts between 100-300 yds. He's silent and I've never had any issues with him getting winded or overheating and I do run a vest on him. He was a rescue so I couldn't tell you anything about his bloodlines. He'll trash on a armadillo every once in a while, but even then all he does is crunch one and bring it to me without the other dogs even knowing about it. |

I see, a guy I hunt with every now and then wants to breed one of his plotts to my cd, I was just curious on what type of dogs would come out of the cross. I've never seen or heard of anyone doing it, I wasn't wanting to do it, and still probably wont, I was just wondering on what the dogs might be, sorry for stealing the post. Thanks

I have heard of people crossing pits and plotts and they say they get good catch dogs. They are called PLITTS. Never owned one so I can't tell you much but I heard good things. The few I have seen were dark brindle.

Some of my best dogs were bulldog/cur, bulldog/cat, and even had a damn good mastif/redbone. All were one out type dogs that could find and catch their own. |

I love a hounds hunt, bottom and nose, but don't like the mouth on trail, if I were to try it, and cross back to the same plott, or one of my curs, wonder what the outcome would be?, this is one of those get out of the country dogs that's pretty tight lipped, and consistently finds hogs, with a good athletic bulldog that would hunt if I let her, I don't want to put a lot of time and money in this with nothing to show for it, I pretty much want a silent, rougher plott, haha, it sounds good atleast.

I've only seen english pointer in this cross, and heard of GSP crosses. I'm guessing because of the short coat. Has anyone heard of using english setters or drahthaars?

I believe the Campbell cur out of Georgia is bulldog and bird dog cross...he has bred this type of dog for many years...

I've only heard of one person adding in Setter years ago. Don't know why it's not done more. Campbell curs are mostly bird/bull with other breeds in the cross. I know several of these that'll run a track for a mile and a half and still have what it takes to either catch or bay a hog. Had a fella that's been breeding dog forever tell me he liked a bird/bull with some cur or hound in it. I'm assuming to help out with bottom. The more I'm around bird/bulls the more I like them.
