What's a great CD worth to you?

[Blake F]

Everything in my yard has a price and the finished bulldogs that I use 3 times a week will go for $500 each. At that price I have had no one interested though. People would rather pay $0-$200 and hope that something works out. It's fine, I will just keep catching hogs with my "too expensive" dogs.

Ya fellas I just don't get it. In most cases the only dog in your box that will do his job till his death with every bit of his being. Makes you wonder bout how we value things wish friends and family where like that

Yep...I have seen some awesome things that a 50 pound APBT could do...and 5 OR 6 other APBT's have been as impressive as well...that I will never forget...but not something to discuss on a forum but I do know that a good one needs to be treasured...

I can understand your sentiment...but, anytime you turn a dog loose in the woods there's a chance you won't be putting him back in a kennel when you're done. Could be just the way we hunt, but we have more injuries to the curs than the bulldogs.

My old gyp had a ruff first few months 8 yrs ago. Last 7 yrs only 3 cuts, they all got under vest on her shoulder.  Yes I could loose her next hunt.  I wonder how many bay dogs she has saved?   Priceless
I would expect to spend $1000-$2000 for a solid mannered dog.  It cost me the same money to feed her as it cost to feed less desirable dog.   A good bull dog finishes a good hunt, without them the entire hunt can be for nothing.   I'm not in it only for the catching hogs, but it fires me up when one gets away.

The idea of price is brought up on a regular basis. I say price is subjective to the thickness of ur wallet. I mean if a man makes $75 a day or $75 an hour can sharply change the level of a price. I know guys that don't mind spending 1k to 1500 on a dog. I know other guys that have a hard time coming up with 150 after the bills are paid. I think the value of a dog is closely related to the mans paycheck at the end of the week.

i wouldnt want to sell mine becuase i use them but i couldnt spend 1000$ on one either and yes its nice to have a good one but it would be hard to send a 1000$ bulldog in a thicket knowing its a matter of time until thats the last thicket he goes in. ive hunted with alot of sorry bulldogs and got by and its not fun at all and ive hunted with some good ones that was real good  and their usualy the ones that dont last to long. but as being more valuable than a bay dog that is a hog dog its no comparsion. a bulldog is much more easily to replace than a real hog dog is. i hope im not replacing any in the near future of the either . in my 14 years of hog hunting wiht dogs ive onle owned 1 bulldog that made it to retirment. but to answer your question the most i would pay is 300$max for a good one

  I have went home quiet a few times with only a dog collar, but its uslually bulldogs for us. the way i look at it is a bulldog has terrible odds from day one of hunting, they risk getting their jaw broke , teeth knocked out the list just goes on, and you can take a 200$ bullodg and catch hogs,  but your not going to catch to many hogs with a 200$ baydog.

X2 with us. I know after catchin a big hog the first thing I look at is the huntin dogs to see if everyone made it

[Judge peel]

Bo Pugh I have caught hundreds of hogs with a 200 dollar dog still do. I have caught a bunch of bigger hogs only lost one bulldog we never found him I assumed he died. What kinda hog y'all catch that kill so many dogs not being a blank just curios

[Judge peel]

Shotgun wg your right on that I am dirt poor if I had to replace my dogs with money I would not be able to do it I have to make my own dog

[Shotgun wg]

Lol I have 12 dogs. I payed for 2 of them. I have $375 purchase price in 12 dogs. I have worked very hard and had plenty of dry runs trying to let these dogs learn the ropes.

we dont have any type of hogs as i know of, it might just be how we have to hunt, we very seldom get to walk a bulldog in any closer to 100yards and can proably count on my hand how many times i have got to see one catch, it just happens like that, i try to get close as i can on my fourwheeler and when they catch make a road to them but if one bulldog gets hung up on the way in the other one takes a good beating until the other arrives. i have had pretty good luck with bulldogs this year but i have also been hunting three young bay dogs most of the summer without and older ones and the quantity of hogs has went down a little bit and havent had to use a bulldog as much . we usually average around 200 for a summer i dont know if thats alot or less than most people but most of the dogs we hunt are pretty loose and will either get back when we come in there or already be gone so they dont get cut to bad for the most part.

Bo Pugh I gotcha I let my cd go from much further out I would say 2 to 300 some times farther I have sent them from 600 my dogs a rough tho it send em to help not to catch a bayed hog now when I run loose dogs I try to get close as I can specially at the river seems to me that the catch dogs take a bigger beating with loose dogs

Rough or loose doesn't matter, a bulldog has too have brains. If it just bullies in there ya it's gonna get roughed up, if it positions himself In front of the hog while it's caught ya it's gonna get roughed up. Just like a smart bay dog won't take on nothing it can't handle alone. I've seen a couple bulldogs that have gone the longer way around a thicket too have a better angle rather then just go barreling in there and get whooped because of the positioning the hog has bayed up in.

The way I see it your only as good as your cd, someone said you can have a great hunt dogs bayed up, but what's it all worth if you can't have a dog too finish it out. JMO.

Your pack is like a football team. Every part of that team has a very important job. Be it the strike dog finding and baying the hog, to the catchdog, catching the hog!
The price of my bulldog increases dramatically when I really need him!! Lol.. Most times I do not need him because my dogs will catch what the can handle by themselves, and if I have 2 on the ground, they will catch 99 percent of the hogs! It's the 1 percent when you need that Kraken that you will relies a good bulldog is as valuable as your best strike dog!!

[Goose87]

It all depends on how much the owner likes him and how bad the buyer really wants him, IMO a good catch dog is just as valuable as the best strike dog, you can't have you ying  without your yang and vice versa

[cantexduck]

My 300 cur dog has found hundreds of hogs that my two 300 dollar catch dogs caught. You could not buy a bulldog from me or my cheap cur dog. A good bulldog is just as important to me as my bay dogs if not more. To be honest I think I would probably give my bulldog to a friend then sell him. A lot of dogs catch hogs , not many are catch dogs.

I agree...I have used that same analogy about the pack and football team...in my mind a good cur dog should be like the middle linebacker of the football team...not the fastest or strongest or quickest but respectably strong, fast and quick...

The catch dog is like the best defensive lineman on the football team...


Gritty to rough dogs may act like great catch dogs some of the time but in some situations they will back up and bay...
