EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Is their anyone out there that uses Rott catch does I got one and kinda curious if they are any good?

Not saying there aren't any, but if Rots were as consistently as good as your pits, americans & (cough cough) dogos, then everybody would be using them. I would just stick to those 3 breeds if I were you.

I kno someone who tried a couple of them. Didnt work out. He said they had poor heat tolerance and tended to fight the hogs. The last time out with them the hog smacked one of the dogs.. the dog ran away, but kept looking behind to make sure the hog wasnt chasin him.

my very first catch dog was a rotty /ab cross gyp . she was a hell of a dog would rigg a hog from the truck to boot .

A friend of mine told me a rott pit cross was illegal I didn't believe it have yall ever heard tht

no breed is illegal in texas , or cross breed dog lol

Hunted behind one caught good but was a nut dog

I worked Rotts as guard dogs and know they could catch a hog. But I would never use one. Something in the personallity of the dog says there is only one person that can touch their collar. That is a real problem when getting the dog off a pig. It is in the genes so much that Germans that used them when taking cattle to market would put the money on the dogs' collars so they could get drunk and nobody could steal the money. There was no way anyone could hold one of my Rotts without me standing there saying it was ok.

my buddy has a full german rott an that sucker will catch any hog you show him ... we also have used him as a blood dog for trackin down deer he is a big baby on top of that a 130lbs baby lol try it out ... let me know if you find a good vest big enough lol

i have seen one wasnt exclusivly used as a pig but woud hold a pig and yes it was a mut dont go out of your way

Hey miller lite I am gonna still try him out and I got a best it's custom made by Larry parish I got his number if you want it!

thanks but we dont hunt him to hard he is a $700 show dog we just got bored with sometimes ... but dont let people say it wont work lol an good luck with him ... try an get a video for everyone to see ... i always thought one crossed with a AB would be one hell of a dog

We are thinking of crossing him with a ab or a pit that would be a hell of a dog

ya but I still wouldn't lead it lol i'd like to watch someone though

I owned a half rott and half ab. she was a good cd. sold her to someone on this forum, she died catching for him and he said she was a great cd. I wouldnt use a pure bred rott, Ive seen Muleman make too many turn belly up and cur out....a hog could do the same in my opinion. Be it a German shepard or rottweiler guard dog there is a reason we use bulldogs.

  I dont think a rott would add too much to the pit or ab, maybe size but I think he would take away more of the desirable traits.  Probabaly end up with some mediocre dogs at best.

Screwed the previous post up, I was referring to this comment.
