Got me a year old bulldog. Owned both parents. Daddy was the best catch dog ive ever owned.. He on the other hand WILL not catch on the head at all.. nuts and legs.. Now my dilema is he will stay with the strike dog step for step.. and will sit a runner down. but!!! I bred em to be a catch dog. . Debating on fixin em and keepn em since he will stop a runnin hog . Orrr culling because he doesnt do the job he was BRED to do.. not sure if he is a diamond or a turd. Lol.

Depends on what your wanting. Sounds like one that will shut a runner down. If he can do all that I would say keep him and get another dog for catch. Why fix him either if you do he may turn out to be a dog you want pups out of in the future. Heck I know some guys, myself included, who like that type of dog. As long as he doesn't bust a bay then why cull him? Nothing like hearing a big boar huff with a good dog locked onto his nuts LOL.

Has he ever taken a beating by a hog or cut down? I had a dogo gyp that was the same as him. Would not catch an ear but you knew when she was there on a big boar. She even hunted her own up if left on the ground. Never got cut and never received a beating from a hog either. She would circle until she saw a shot at the nuts or ass and it looked funny seeing a 100 pound dog sat on by a hog LOL. If you think about it though your dog an my gyp did/do "catch" just not what your wanting or expecting, but have their uses. Now standing there not doing anything if the hogs not moving is another thing. Almost sounds like he thinks of it as a big game still and if he ever takes a beating or cutting might trip the switch to full on not half LOL. Good luck. OH an some buddies of mine had a red nose pit that would out strike most dogs and they won some bayings with her. Cull yes, good dog? Depending on how you looked at it yes. Would I or most have fed her? Probably not. They did bred her to a big YBMC and those pups all turned out to be jam up RCD/Strike dogs. |

My thoughts on it is if you bred him to be a catch dog he's a cull. Even worse if you NEED him to be a catch dog he's a cull. On the bright side is he can be a useful cull if you have another catch dog to do what he should've done. I like a good gritty dog that'll grab a mouth full of nuts to sit a runner down. But if he stays caught on the nuts that would aggravate me having to break him off of the nuts or trying to flip a hog with him in the way. Only you will know if he's gonna work out for you and your particular style of hunting.
