EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

 Does anyone have a pit/dane or a pit/mastiff they use to hunt or as a cd? If so, I would like to see pics.

This one made a great catchdog. He caught like a freighttrain and was a pleasure to lead through the woods. He is by a pit out of a bullmastiff.

Good Lookin dog Jimmy.  Tht collar is pretty bad a$$

 
 We were told by our vet that this one was a pit/dane. We lost him about a month or two ago and I want another one like him. He was awesome on a big hog.

 Our dog looked very similar in build to yours.

That's one good looking dog!!! I wouldn't mind one like him too!!

 Thank you Fonzie. Im still grieving over him. I don't think that Ill ever get past it. But I do want another one like him. You couldn't beat him on a hog that was 200+.

Ya I have to look for another one my catch dog petey is becoming a family dog my daughters love him they call him princess :/ and he's real good with them not to mention all great cd too I'd hate to have to explain anything if something happened to him...

DJ, Voodoo was quite the specimen. He had "the" look about him. I would love to come across one built just like him.

dj i have a dane that i kept but hes at a friends house till i get a good area for him to run, and food to feed him, would love to have bred him to a pit

 It would be great if the breeding produces what I had. But Im doing some research because the other pit/danes that I have come across (which are few) aren't quite as bulky built as VooDoo was. Thats why Im also researching the pit/mastiff crosses also. I want to be sure and get it right. Im looking to get as close a carbon copy as I can.

I think his head def. Says Dane to me. Maybe Dane/Mastiff? He does have some bulk about him.

or Ab/dane if i can find the pic a buddy used to have one as a junkyard dog

Its hard to tell by pictures but here is a better head shot.

i still see some bulldog in him, maybe thats just me

As in American Bulldog? I don't have any experience with an american bulldog but I do know that he had the thick jaws of a pit. Do american bulldogs have those same thick muscled jaws?

some do

mine was alittle on the bulky mouth side, great bite, just slow in the body but very powerful

Idk I def think Dane is part of the equation here. Maybe try getting on one of the Aussie sites. They could help you out a little more maybe when it comes to crossbred danes.

Dane, definately...   what is it you liked about the dog, and I bet there's some people on this site that might breed for it...  ;)

Noah, I loved everything about him.....except that his hatred of hogs was so bad that he didn't have a very good handle on him. But other than that he was house broke, he loved everybody, he flat out didn't have any dog aggression, but the best thing was that he could handle a big nasty boar. Not just catch it and hang on, but HANDLE it. He was also a great companion dog. He liked to cuddle on the couch and watch some tv.  :)

 Oh, and I forgot to mention that one time the bay broke right before he got there and he passed the curs up and ran out 65 yards and caught the hog. LOVED IT!  ;D

 The thing is, I want to be sure on his breeding so that I can try to duplicate it. I know that it will be a different dog but I want to get close.

i say dane and AB still its done got me bothered so im lookin up pics of dane/ab crosses  :P

 Hahaha, I looked at some when you first mentioned it.  ;D.... and dane/mastiff, pit/dane/, pit/mastiff,
 ab/mastiff.... you name it, I have looked at it. Right now Im leaning towards either pit/dane or pit/mastiff. He could have been ab/dane, I couldn't find any pics that looked right though.

Whatever he was, he was a fine specimen. I would love to know myself.

Thanks Tom  :)

fine dog and im sure he went doin what he loved

 No, I wish thats how he went. He broke his snap and went after a deer or hog (we saw something cross in front of us) and jumped out of the truck between the truck and trailer while going down the road right in a curve.

 Heck, he was on some bad hogs and I think I can only remember him getting cut once.

dang dinah thats a tough thought to process

He's about 75lbs easy to be around danexpit pic(http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff414/hughduncan/c98e0909.jpg)

Thank you for that pic Middleton. I think thats a pretty good representation of that breed. That is what VooDoo looked like except that he had cropped ears and was a little thicker. But as we know, every dog is different in that department depending on who there parents are. I guess my vet was right.  :)

Huey(middleton) has probably the best dog to come out of that cross i have ever seen. Has founds plenty of his own and has produced huge boar after another.

 Ours was very gamey also. Im assuming they get their gameyness from the pit side. We used him as a lead in catch dog because if we turned him loose it was hard to get him back unless he was on a hog and we didn't want to chance him going onto someone elses property.

I have had two pit/danes. The first was Buddy who sounds like he was very much like Voodoo. We loved that dog as a hunting dog and as a friend. I didn't go anywhere without him. He got run over in front of the house last spring. The one I have now is Betty. She has caught 5 hogs so far and is more intense and hard catching every time. She doesn't have the hunt that Buddy had at this point. She will come back after a while if the bay breaks. Buddy was in the race for good if the bay broke, and I also caught hogs with just him running loose. I would love to get a pup if someone makes this cross. I have considered getting a dane female and doing it myself. I don't know though whether it would be better to breed a female pit to a dane stud???? They are fast, which is nice in open country. Watching one chase down and catch a hog in an open field is pretty cool. I would post pics but don't have internet on the computer any more and haven't been able to figure it out from the phone yet.

I would think female pit with a male dane. I want which ever one makes the thicker built dog.

If you want them to be tall then cross the male pit on a female dane, if you cross over a female pit you will get the height of the pit, at least that is how it works with lurchers when they are crossing pits over greyhounds. I have seen some "bully bred" pits that looked very simialar to your dog before the fad for the short thick can't breath ones came in. They obviosly had something else crossed in them somewhere. I would cross a good game bred pit male on a thick dane or mastiff if I was looking to do the cross. Oh and sorry to hear about your dog that is a terrible way to lose a good one.

If u want u huge male pit I know a guy who has one.....I can get pics of him but idk how to post them in here...

 PM sent.


 Thank you Trey

middletons dog is a litter mate to mine mine  is bigger then  his  hight wise   i would love to  find a female pit dane to breed my dog to

This female is 1/4 Great Dane- 1/4 Pit and 1/2 Jack Russel. She is the best yard dog ever. We want to cross a good cur with her, she is a little too small to hog hunt. Thats obviously a blue tick on the left. A boxer accidently bred that blue tick and the pups she threw love a hog.

DJ I have seen a dog that look very similar to that but it was a pit x American bulldog

it had the head shaped just like that one and the body was all muscle like the one in your picture but it was big and tall

Dj i have an american bully as a house pet!! He is not a american bulldog its a totally different breed an he is nothin but muscle and head! And i happen to think if mixed with a dane would make a big muscle bound dog.. (http://tapatalk.com/mu/a6cd0e27-0db1-0c34.jpg)

That is the last pic i have on my phone of him he was 10 months there he is a 1 1/2 now

 Good looking dog! I wish the pic was closer but still he is a thick, good looking dog.  :)
