Catching on the ear ( or head in general ) is a tried and true old time tested method that the pioneers of this sport looked for in a dog WAY before any of us on here was born. I guess it's all just in your opinion and taste in dogs if you consider it acceptable . IMO the ones who are arguing the fact that it's acceptable are just trying to make excuses for their dogs, I could be wrong. I strongly believe that if it wasn't their dogs then the tables would be turned and they would be the ones saying it's unacceptable. I believe what it all boils down to is someone is just to stubborn to swallow their own pride and accept that they have leg catching dogs, but in the end who am I to judge another mans dogs when he is the one who has to feed, care for, and go in behind them. To each his own I guess.

I have a buddy who has a pit he's real proud of that hesitates before he catches then he almost always goes under hog and catches front armpit on opposite side (so long as the hog doesn't bust while he hesitates).it locks the hog down but as was already said the good strike dogs are left with an ear and get cut down.Its also alot harder to flip a big hog because dogs pull and weight are against it. I hunt on foot and am severely winded alot when i get to bay, so i don't have a lot of oomph left when i get there....this happens nearly every time we go and its got cutters, pit never gets cut. i had my dogs cut up bad this winter because of it. I've got my own bulldogs now so thats that but it's just a nice feeling to have a bull dog per ear when climbing into a brush pile or crawling in to thickets.I will use whats available but I too prefer ear.That head is where the danger is,it needs to be controlled. Im a little chicken on a boar but most times with a bulldog on each ear i dont even feel threatened at all.

My bull dog catches ear most the time if not the the jaw if no ears I would think that they could get hurt much worse on jaw than ear also

I agree with that too. I've seen a couple buldogs catch on the jaw just to watch the hog bite them on the jaw as well, in front of the eyes is not a good place to be on a pissed off hog! |

I've got a little bitch who catches nose more often than not and I keep sending her naked figuring shell learn or won't,  but so far she ain't learned and she now hates to wear so much as a cut collar!

I would think on a good toothy boar that's where a jaw catcher would get wrecked by the top teeth

He caught a good boar one night and his cutter went through the roof of the dogs mouth. He was stuck and couldn't let go if he wanted to. |

He was cut up pretty bad as well. |
