Catchdog Options other than Pit

[Bo Pugh]

Get you a pair of jag terriors and start them out on catching coons and cats at a young age and they will be straight catch just like a Pit but a lot smaller and them breed one of them to a pitt or ruff dog to get them a little size but you will probably want to start out with about 5 some of them probably won't make it to breeding age lol

Thanks for the help and advice, looks like I'm leaning towards an AB? 
Both of these, the male and the female, were fixed and had been for years. 

I should have known better, I am to blame, should have kept them apart in the truck, for sure, the buck stops with me and I told my kids this earlier.  Hard lesson learned and one that could have been easily avoided.  Been a rough day here, so my apologies on the earlier comment to the lady from Louisiana if my reply came across in the wrong way.  My intent by the comment was, there isn't anyone on this board that can kick me any harder that I already have and I certainly deserve it. 

You know, in this sport, we prepare ourselves for when we loose a dog to a hog and we all try to minimize the risk as much as we can, but sometimes it stillhappens and we deal it with it.  I was not prepared for it to happen in my truck by one of my dogs.

Kinda like that decorated Navy SEAL that came home from all of that combat intact, with all of his limbs.  He takes another veteran out to the range to help him and the veteran turns on him and kills him.  That ain't right, but in hindsight,  we can all say to ourselves over a beer, "what was he thinking, giving a loaded gun to a vetaran with severe PTSD?"

I know the sun will come up tomorrow, Lord willing, and I will eventually stop kicking myself, but I'm not giving up on running hogs with my Kemmers and I will continue to use a CD, so I have to begin the search for a replacement, not only for her, but for him as well. 

Hey, if we wanted an easy sport, guess we could take up golf?  Yeah, that ain't happenin'

AB and make sure it's a good one from proven stock.  Options are : Scott, Underdog(Bryant), Britt Garcia, Tico at Jam Up.  I am done with breeding for awhile or I would recommend myself lol.   

[DSmith]

I'll be calling Scott this afternoon, thanks.

Don't forget Mr. Juan

[Americanlegendz]

   Thanks josh.  I like to stay under the radar myself. lol   Really try to get the dogs with good folks like yourself and the other hunters I work with over the years.  Really Britt Garcia and Americanlegendz can be used interchangeably now with the hog catching line we are using.  I only work with Britt now when it comes to the hog catching hines line we have been working on for the last several years.  I recommend you check with the other dudes mention above.  All good lines and working there dogs to the fullest.  If I can help anyone out I'm always willilng to try my hardest to do my part.   

[aussie black mouth curs]

have a look at aussie pig dog sites....heaps of non-pit options....boxer crosses, english bull terriers, staghound crosses, wolfhound cross with EBT would be my pick of them

[hatchet10]

You never know about any type of bulldogs. That's pretty much all I have ever ran. Just because its a "good nature d" dog does not mean it won't cross any line. Dogs are animals just like any other animal. They have mouths instead of hands and they can't talk to us either. I have had american bulldogs, pits, old english bulldogs, and several different mixes. For one, any bulldog breed is bred to fight, period. When you research them, they'll say bred to hunt bear, bull baiting, dog fighting etc. Like it was earlier stated, bulldogs have a higher prey drive because of this. That's also why we use them as "catch dogs". I will say I've seen some really good catch dogs that were ridgeback and cur mixed. but far and few in between. I've been bit by my own dogs 3 times and my wife got bit once.  I got bit because they were tired, another time because one didn't want me to pull him off a hog, and another time I was sewing one up. My wife got bit because she tried to separate a bulldog that was mounting a gyp. Dumb move. If you read all these cases of mine, you can understand why I had this happen a few times, hell I'd bite someone too. Pits in my experience are worse, but that's just my experience. I have a american bulldog/old english bulldog that hasn't bit me yet. He's pretty nice.

The only thing I trust more than a bulldog when I'm going to put my hands on a hog is lead

[Cattracker549]

I didn't care how crazy the Pitts would get I just put a muzzle and led through the wood are he might snap me I have been hog hunting longer than than most but you can control these animals they must be chained and with heavy collar never mix with other dogs I never wanted one that wasn't crazy as a Bessy bug when and it will happen he will turn on you you need to let him no who the boss is and I stress the last words. I have been training hog dogs for thirty plus years .

[Purebreedcolt]

Got to look they are out there just got to look.  I like the ridgeback and the crosses.  Easy handling and I know a lot think they are dumb and maybe im lucky but they are smart.  I require a smart cd and will cull a dumb one just as fast as one that dont catch maybe faster.

If any of my bulldogs ever bit me simply because I was stopping him from mounting a female, that dog would be in the dirt.

[hatchet10]

Yeah cattracker that's the way I do it, only problem is I have 8 of them and only 1 lead. AND YES it is a dumb move for getting in between dogs while there doing their business like you're human birth control. Its kind of like pulling a dogs tale. If i went around pulling my bulldogs tale all day and then he bit me, I wouldn't feel right putting him in the dirt for it

[Black Smith]

sorry for your loos and good luck finding a replacement!!

[chads7376]
