" hog fat cures hemoroids"
True story: A buddy and myself were skinning out a hog to be mounted at a Taxadermy and a guy from Mexico come up to us and wanted all the fat we could get off the hog for his roids.......

[T-Bob Parker]

You won't catch any hogs around here with loose baying dogs!
You won't catch any hogs around here with rough dogs

There's a hog over in blank-n-blank pasture that'll kill every dog you got!
That's the one I want to set out on, I know he'll bay! Lol



I've said a few that some folks probably thought were the dumbest things they'd ever heard till they saw it happen,
When bayed in a tank, "don't turn the bulldog loose, let me tell the dogs to bring him over here"
When hearing a sporadic bay "thats a sounder, just pick a stump and wait till they're settled"

Of course I've got the experience and wisdom at this point to not even believe my own BS half the time! Lol

There are some things posted on this thread that I've found true...

1. If a gyp gets cut the males will think she's in heat, this is true, I had a gyp get cut in her female part and I sewed her up and took her back to the truck and continued hunting, when we got back to the truck the very same younger males that was hunting with her earlier in the night and not paying her no mind were going crazy trying to get to her and tried riding her.

2. Cutting a dogs ear off because of heatstroke, you don't cut the ear off, you cut the very tip of it off and it might just be my experience but I've seen this done on more than one occasion and the dogs survived.

3. Training a dog not to cross rivers, with today's modern technology such as the alpha it is very easily to do, I know several deer and coon doggers who have trained their dogs to not cross rivers or black top roads because of property lines or from of safety aspect.


To get back on topic...

1. Fellow once told me that a dog absorbs water through their pads, so swimming a dog during a keep or conditioning program would cause the dogs problems during the match or hunt.

2. There's no such thing as good catahoulas, I just laugh to myself and then ask if they want to go put a dog on the ground to see for sure.

3. The best one I've heard ever since I've been messing with dogs I just heard a few weeks or so ago and I read it on here, and that is if your not hunting one persons style then your not doing it right and if you have to use more than one dog to catch a hog (ex. Baydog and catch dog) then you have half a hog dog. That is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. I guess any cowhand who has to use a rope and a saddle ain't a cowboy or a fisherman who has to use a hook, line, and sinker ain't a fisherman.

I know a guy that had a field trial bird dog that kept getting disqualified because he would start fights with the dog he was braced with. AND he had laid the leather on him so much for that he would drop on point with the handler walked up to him.

Sooooooooooooooo, he and some buddies started their own field trial club and changed the rules a little. If a dog dropped on point it was not a disqualification because the dog was trying to hide from the birds and it showed supreme intelligence.

I still have the hand book because nobody would believe me when I told them about the BS rules.

Lol...

x2 on that...I used to say catch dogs were a dime a dozen...but that was in the 1980s...not that far removed from the dog fighting era...now it is not that easy to find a good catch dog...has been that way for years...

[redriverslim]

1992 Pontiac Grand Ams are a dime a dozen too . . . but that don't mean I want to drive one.     

[Semmes]

Here we go again with the dimwhitted statements...

Since when was being a breeder of a working breed or dog a bad thing?

Every working breed owes its lineage to a breeders or group of breeders..

If you don't believe in buying dogs just keep finding yours on Craigslist because im pretty, that by the road you are traveling on here, no 'breeder' of workin dogs is gonna offer you one for free as they do quite often to thinking folks

[Semmes]

...prob about to the point that a real 'breeder', not a peddler, would even sell ya one...

[Semmes]

That's not 'breeders', that's peddlers....

Here's  thought...

Step in out there and try breeding and culling your own over generations for whatever venue you gripe about... Then check back

[Semmes]

If you were successful and proved it...you may be able to name a price. But I can almost guarantee you still won't break even...

Only sold two dogs in my life 13yrs ago... Guy

44MAG, It seems you're on a personal mission to discredit anyone who breeds bulldogs.  There are lots of guys on this board who are dedicated to breeding quality bulldogs.  Just because they don't get their catch dogs off Craigslist, it doesn't mean they are out to screw over "young guys", nor does it mean that they are trying to make money off their dogs.  And just because they ENJOY breeding bulldogs and trying to produce something of quality, that doesn't give you the right to belittle them/us.  It seems you have a personal problem with folks who ENJOY breeding, raising, training their bulldogs.  Everyone knows that a catch dog can be found on Craigslist or at the pound, but just because that's so, it doesn't mean that any and all other bulldogs that someone purchases are by default "overpriced".  The dogs on Craigslist were created by "breeders" too.  Somebody had to breed them, so if not for these "breeders" that you seem to despise, you wouldn't be able to get dogs off Craigslist.  It really only matters to the person who buys the dog.  I'm sure lots of folks think Tony Romo is overpaid, but it's Jerry Jones' money, and as long as he thinks his money is well spent, then it really doesn't matter what the rest of us think.  

As for myself, yes I have a very expensive bulldog with a fancy pedigree that I paid a lot of money for.  But I didn't buy the dog to catch hogs with.  I stud the dog out to other breeders of high-end bulldogs.  And yes, I get a lot of money for the stud fee, and yes, I sometimes sell puppies and some of those puppies bring as much as $1,500.  But what you don't understand is that the people who pay that stud fee and buy those puppies know EXACTLY what they are buying and nobody is taking advantage of anybody.  The definition of a fair price is when two parties agree to a price and both parties are satisfied.  In other words, somebody has to want the puppy more than they want their $1,500.  Nobody is twisting anybody's arm and nobody is having to tell lies to sell the pups.  I studded my male out 7 times in the last 6 months for a total of $9,000.  And most likely NOT A SINGLE ONE of those puppies will ever even see a hog.  Now at the same time, I will breed that same male to a proven catch dog female, either AB or un-papered pit, and will give the puppies away to hog hunters.  So you're argument that "breeders" are taking advantage of young guys . . . doesn't hold water.  I think you're missing the point here . . . just because someone is a breeder, that doesn't make them a con artist.  I had a fellow bring a good catch dog gyp to my male recently because he wanted some gamier type pups.  I didn't charge him a dime for the stud fee.

You make broad generalizations and try to categorize people who want to breed better bulldogs as somehow being snake-oil salesman.  And I will 100% agree with you that a good catch dog can be cheap or free and gotten from the pound.  But just because someone has a lot of time, money, dedication and years of commitment to breeding good bulldogs, you want to somehow belittle them by calling them "breeders taking advantage of kids".  You try to categorize me as a "breeder", as if the term "breeder" is supposed to be automatically perceived as some negative character flaw.  I am happy with the dogs I have, I pay for their feed, so as long as they please me and the people who W-A-N-T to buy them, that is all that matters.
