I just got a lab GSP mix he is very energetic and has a bigger head than most catch dog pups, has anyone ever used a lab to be a catch dog, I have heard some will make good strike dogs just not to sure about how good they will catch. Has anyone ever used a lab as a Catch dog?

I've seen labs catch with other dogs but I've never seen anyone with a lab catch dog. I guess they could be a catch dog. If you can teach lab bird dogs to force fetch maybe you can teach them to force catch lol.

Had a boar hog wander up to the house one day while I was outside feeding last year. My bull dog jumped the fence and caught. My lab that runs loose around my yard ran straight in like a catch dog and caught. No hesitation whatsoever. Shocked the hell out of me. If you look closely at the picture he's the yellow dog on the left side. Also had a walker lab cross that looked just like a black lab named Hoss. He was straight catch.  |

I've worked with clients labs. Smart dogs. I'd imagine one may catch if they wanted to, but my concern would be if they had to take a whoopin while they were supposed to be holding if they'd hang in there or not....

A Mediocre catch dog can get you hurt in a hurry. I think I'd stick with dogs that were bred for the job they are to be used for. |

I know a guy that runs a lab pit cross for catch dog. He does real good. My male lab (duck dog) caught a shoat once. Lol. I do believe if set to it he would do ok but not sure if I would want him as a cd.
