Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I've been on here lurking before and reading all the threads but have never posted. My name is Brandon Zahn and I'm from Wharton, Texas. My partner and I have five finished baydogs and four finished bulldogs and about 9 started pups. We kinda just started from scratch. We didn't have anybody give us anything. Just went out and bought a bunch of pups..... Culled and culled some more and are where we are today. I call our baydogs finished but they are still young. Strike dogs range from 10 months to 18 months, but they work for us and get the job done. We've managed to catch 73 so far this year with a dozen or so over 250 with the biggest being 285. I just wanted to share this pic we snapped of two of our baydogs and two bulldogs working/catching a big boar yesterday. If there's any interest I can share more info about our dogs and ourselves but for now here's the pic hope you guys enjoy.

Ill post some pics of the dogs with a little more info tonight. We aren't real big on a specific purebred breed. All the dogs are crosses mostly catahoula. The pups we got our all old school cur dogs with some ear on them. Our dogs are medium ranged but rough as hell. Some prolly wont like them but they consistently catch us pigs and they work hard. They will bay if its under control but if it tried to run or they decided to catch they are fully committed to catching. They will catch solo or in a pack it doesn't matter. And they have tried every hog so far. For young dogs they have plenty of scars. Our catch dogs are Pitts and one is half cat half pitt.

Yeah the white dog is a strike dog but without the vest he'd be dead already. The video would show how those dogs work better than the pic.... It's just a snapshot of one particular moment in time. If I woulda posted a picture two seconds later 3 dogs woulda been on the ear and one on the nuts. The white dog had just got slung off like the bulldog and he'll usually bark a couple times then catch if hog tries to break.... He's not gonna catch just to catch.... Only of necessary to hold the hog from running. If that makes any sense?

We vest all our rough dogs because I don't have a ton of money and extra strike dogs laying around so I try to protect them as best as I can. We've got one but grabber that doesn't wear a vest but he's never required a vest. Just our way of doing things I guess.
