Strait Catch Yellow Black Mouths. (Who is interested)?

[YELLOWBLACKMASK]

Gonna start this lil thread due to a huge amount of Pm's from folks asking questions.

Our crew was brainstorming awhile back due to frustrations on dealing with pits around the house.
Couple of us just decided to go back to doing what we did years ago and scrub the bulldog aspect and find some nail biting Yeller dogs to use as RCD and lead in. 

We put together a group of dogs from several different areas and have been exceptionally pleased.
Question being.......how many more folks are interested in this concept of taking it back a hair from the modern norm?

Would like some feedback on what your questions an interest if we decide to start up breeding a few of these dogs.

I will say up front...they do catch and lock...you do have to use a break stick...and they DO NOT HUNT worth a flip.
Only serve one purpose in my opinion.

This is not bash a bulldog thread so please refrain. 

Thanks.

I'd love to hear about how you came across these dogs and seeing some pictures too. I love out black mouths a d I've been looking for an rcd type dog. You say they don't though? They hang out by your feet and honor bays?

[Jimt3]

Well heck... I meant to add hunt in there. I was asking you to repeat that part about them not hunting. Tell me what that looks like in the woods. Thanks fit the thread! I've read your posts before and wondered what you had going on down there!

I don't like pits at the house, just don't trust em. Been looking for a straight catch yella dog

[t.wilbanks]

I WANT ONE!!!!  Or three but I'm not greedy, so I'll just take 2...

Just wondering what the difference between a bulldog catch dog or a non hunting yellow dog is? Either way if you have a truly gritty catch dog no matter the bred or color you gunna have dog fights and what not. Maybe it's for the color only you would want this idk? Jmo I wouldn't feed a dog that won't hunt out, find its own and catch it by itself or with one other dog.

Unless you enjoy bay dogs I personally wouldn't waste the time, money and effort breeding and raising a litter of cur dogs that don't hunt....

Not trying to bash your thoughts I just replied because you wanted opinions.

[YELLOWBLACKMASK]

This is a few of what we currently have.



Pup in the middle



This picture is the day I picked this dog up. He has put on plenty more pounds since then and has filled out nicely. So dont think he still looks this skinny.  Lol



Dog on left is another one we have.

I would like to have a few that were like that.. it don't get better than a ol yella dog

[JUNIOR SEFFERN]

They sure are good looking dogs! I just don't have a pile of money laying around every month to foot a feed bill for a bunch of cur dogs that won't hunt.

If anything y'all will have a bunch of pretty dogs with ya in the woods

You are correct........ But most everyone feeds Bulldogs that only serve one purpose as well.

Not looking at these dogs for any other purpose but to replace the bulldog aspect for those that do not want to deal with them for various reasons.

Even another class of dogs we refer to as (Poacher style dogs)  short range and gritty as hell. Serve multiple functions but typically require more than one to catch a sure nuff hog.  We are not looking for the Yellers that get beat up and back up on this project.  Drop....lock...or die on the ear is my opinion of what we are shooting for.

Haha. Believe me....Perty dont get you far round here.  The creek is full of just perty dogs.
They will serve a specific purpose or will be culled along with the rest.

Just curious ....but what do you use for a catchdog or do you shoot?

Thanks for your input.

Yellowblackmask, please let me know when you have a litter, i'd like 2 males i'll send you $ whenever. I was just talking about finding a straight catch currdog last night for the same reasons you are looking into breeding them. With a little girl that LOVES our dogs I always have it in the back of my mind that as much as I like the bulldogs i've had they still have that notorious track record that I can't help but aknowledge esp. with my little one running around.

Evidently you have never had a good one then....Pitbulls who know what to catch and what not to that aren't aggressive in any kind of way do exist...

[wine6978]

Can't stand the unpredictability and stupidness of a pit. Been looking for a yella catch dog and can't find one I trust 100%. I didn't comment on this post either to get into a "right bulldog" argument. I take a bulldog hunting and usually wont turn him loose because my curs will catch pretty much everything, but would much rather take another cur over any bulldog/pit. Would love a catching cur thats young enough to teach em to hunt horseback!!!

[JUNIOR SEFFERN]

I don't own a bulldog or just a catch dog. We run gritty florida curs ( oops I forgot we weren't allowed to call them that anymore).... I run old school hog dogs that have been raised in Florida by generations of cow men that hunt out, find their own and catch their own. We can hunt one dog or two dogs at a time and produce pork. I have 4 grown cur dogs. Two that are completely silent and two that are a little open when one breaks. I can pair them up two dog teams and go catch hogs. They have a lot of bottom and are sure nuff ruff as a cob. Absolutely no need for a catch dog!

This is my liking of a dog and may not be for others but that is only why I gave my opinion.

And we don't take guns when we dog hunt, be lucky to even catch us with a knife. Just hobbles, flashlight and some cold beer with a buddy or two and we having a good time

[W,Reid]

Yellow I use to have a dog just like you are describing . I would love to have a another one !

[ridgerrunner06]

i have two males that are built to catch an if i run them with certain dogs all they do is catch but if i run them alone they will strike their own pigs have several times.

I gotcha.  Those are like the poacher style dogs of East Texas. I to enjoy those style dogs especially on the smaller land track areas.  Problem we are attempting to remedy with this lil project is our long range dogs that step on out a couple miles cannot be cobb rough or they wont be around for a second season. Most use pits or crosses as lead in and has worked exceptionally well but some.....including myself want breed options for this type of dog....only one dimensional ....and dependable in and out of the field. I have cows, horses and kids and have never been comfortable in keeping certain breeds in the off season.

The way your hunting...I agree these probably would not benefit your style and would be more of a burden than help.  

[weller44]

I have one and i love him just wish i had a couple more just like him. He does hunt though sometimes a little to far out for me!



So does anybody have a female that is sure enough straight catch?

[JUNIOR SEFFERN]

Don't be fooled, these dogs will range a mile or two from us and we do nothing but walk hunting. So when they catch it takes us that long to get to them. I have a male dog that is 9 yeas old and has been hogg'n since he was a pup. He is a very ruff ruff dog and my others are pretty ruff too. Long range lot of bottom type dogs can be ruff as a cob and still live. Just a different bred I guess. I know of several dogs in my area of Florida that are old hog dogs and will still do it and get ruff on a rank boar.

[Mike]

The problem is... will the offspring catch also?

They are cur dogs...
