Title: Catch dogs
Post by: Cajun on October 30, 2020, 05:56:57 pm
This has been on here several times but I do enjoy looking at other people’s catchdogs. Post some pics of yours. Here is a young brindle male I raised. He is 13 months and weighs about 60#. I broke a Teflon break stick breaking him off his first hog at 8 months. I just thought it was a fluke but the same thing happened when we put him on another hog at 10 months. He broke Larry’s break stick. The yellow female I picked up from a guy that was getting out. He only had her a week and never did anything with her. She slammed the first hog she saw right on the ear. She is about 70# built right and about a year and a half old. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201030/10dcdd08851297ea8cdad7d2bbab90ad.jpg)

Cajun that gyp comes in and y’all looking for a good stud, my partner Drue has a one dog wrecking crew in his old catch dog Chevy, he’s got your size you like and takes his time and picks his shot he’s never flown in like a rocket, we’ve got him retired right now until we get some pups off him, he’s getting old but still just as fresh as his first season, we’ve got a niece of his AI’ed to him and Mr. Ronnie Joe has loaned us his old foundation b!tch that the dogs he’s catching with today are down off of, we’re taking her to Dr. Greene’s as soon as she shows any sign of heat to have her surgically bred, to much potentially at stake to do the AI myself,  pm your number anyways if you don’t mind I’ve lost every number I had....


Hey Ben if you see this response you do the same or text me....

What I’m currently running:

3/4 bulldog 1/4 stag lead in or use out of drop box in fields.

1/2 stag 1/2 American sisters. Run naked in fields or vest up and lead in. You have to pry them off. Excellent prey drive and stock broke.

Honey

3/4 pit 1/4 dog. Not too big about 60#s.  She has a head full of sense. I haul her with anydog. She walks to a bay with no leash and wont go until told. She breaks easy without a break stick. Once your hands are on the hog she sits back loose without tying. The only time I tie her back is when turning a hog loose. I hope one day to have another like her.

I bred her last heat to a Dogo male. I hope she took but it does not look like it unfornuatly.

This is Hoss I got him from RyanTBH and he is an Amerigo/Big White Dog.

He weighs just under 90 lbs and is more Ambull than Dogo from a recent backcross so I forget the split.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201031/440c065cbb06e9778de807485cf49125.jpg)


As a green Hog Dogger and a first time puppy raiser I couldn’t have asked for a better prospect.

I recently used him as a running catchdog with a pack of Texas Terriers and he worked like a champ just didn’t get a chance to catch but I already know that’s not an issue.

Nice looking dogs everybody. I never get tired of looking and listening about other peoples dogs.
 Cajunl that honey dog is exactly my style. Those type will ruin you. Her type were what I got pretty consistently out of the old line of catch dogs I let run out.
Cajun I do like the look of the yella gyp. I like leg undermy dogs.
I'm using a pure American male named Loki. He's got to see 3 or 4 in the woods but all have been good hogs and he's done real good. Gonna be a dog I can hunt off leash and send on command. My brindle male named Blade is American/pit and still pretty green too. I'm already hunting him off leash. Both are big dogs and athletic. Blade was 90# on the scales and Loki was 80#. Both are athletic but I don't know which I like better. I think Loki but both have a lot of potential.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201031/1dd93ec3fdb7bab33f4e341b8c95e38d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201031/7334ac0ebfa2e9eb1db206734098d92e.jpg)

I said I wasn’t going to raise another bulldog pup, BUT they are getting rare so I figured if I wanted something decent I’d have to raise one. She’s off some game blood and some catch dogs with a touch of bully I’m pretty sure. I just need her to be an ear dog!

Lot of nice looking dogs here

Bred these two today 10-31-20
All the way around as good of catch dogs as I know of
I been waiting to do this for good while
My gyp Tyra (AB) bred to good friend of mine (Pitt)
I could go on about these two for awhile but maybe another time
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201031/8a973670c6a95a0cb4fc25d85df573f2.jpg)


Me and cracker are in together on a bulldog program that we discussed on here some months back
We got it started but still ways to go
We’re excited about it except raising pup part lol
Here is current catchdogs and future stock - or least what is at my place Cracker has the other half -
All dogs have or will be tried and true to be in program!
We like red dogs but if them black ones turn out like they should we may throw one in the mix lol
Maybe cracker will chime in with pics to-
We have dogs  some closely related and are trying to breed back to a main older dog that was a good a catch dog on anyone’s yard!

Sassy.....3/4 bulldog, 1/4 stag. Littermate to the first dog in JSH’s post. Niece to the 1/2 stag 1/2 AB’s in the same post. 4 year old who has been there and done that. Used as a lead in, walk hunted , road hunted, & rigged 1 out, road hunted & horse back with 1 other rough dog. Best handle & brains on a catch dog I have ever had. She’s caught several 230 - 240 lb rank boars solo. JSH bred a nice litter of dogs. Pics don’t do her justice. She’s an athletic specimen. 75 to 76lbs in the summer. 80 to 81 in the winter.

Dozer is my only catchdog at the moment he is incredibly athletic, fast and hasn't missed one yet.He has zero dog aggression and is super friendly. His downfalls are he is wound extremely tight and is a handful.His Daddy and Momma were as laid back as you could ask for and so are all his brothers and sisters that are still alive. It's ashamed his Daddy ain't around no more because he seemed to produce some goodens.We recently Bred Dozer to Muddy's Female hopefully they produce some nice dogs he posted a picture of the pups.I am also considering doing a Brother Sister breeding with him and my buddies gyp Xena she's a really nice catchdog who's as cool as ice zero fussing and could be used off lead for sure She's from the same exact breeding as Dozer just the next litter.Im hoping to be able to get something like her and their Daddy from it.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201102/69f42506c63f05b2fc9aa2da9f5ac000.jpg)

This is Bubba he's another one I Bred who my son in law owns he's Dozer's brother and has that cool as ice demeanor just like his sister Xena and that his Momma and Daddy had he's probably the better option to do a brother sister breeding to try and bring out that behavior totally calm after hogs Caught and listens extremely well.He's 75lbs and extremely athletic straight ear and a very hard mouth he doesn't have the experience Dozer has but is definitely a natural.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201111/7a6d82542ad215446579342712e16eae.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201111/6d33f0a37ea1944e58e3a40790905eca.jpg)

Title: Re: Catch dogs
Post by: t-dog on November 12, 2020, 08:00:43 am
Man I won't lie, I love them. Neither have many hunts on them. The brindle half breed has the most at almost a dozen and didn't get to catch on all those hunts but he got handled. He's already doing good with being hunted off leash. I question his hardness more than anything. He hasn't done anything it's just something in my belly that says maybe there's something there. His mom was AB and she was hard and several siblings out of other litters have proven to be hard but were out of different males. He's a tad bit quirky too. He won't work the same for everyone else like he does me. The white male is all AB and a super nice dog. I think he's tough as nails, he's super athletic. I weighed them the other day he was just over 80# and the brindle male was 90#. The white dog is really lite on his feet. He can load with no trouble without dropping the tailgait and you don't even hardly notice the shake of the vehicle when he lands. He's going to be able to be hunted off leash too, we've already started some. Both are really smart but I believe the white dog is smartest. I sent him to a sow the other day that came out of some high weeds and at first he didn't realize what she was but he was going to her at about 3/4 speed. Man when he smelled and identified what she was that dude was moving. His agility was impressive too. There was a mesquite between him and the sow when he started getting close and instead of running through it or around it he jumped smooth over it. I guess it impressed me because I could tell he was thinking and not just in that adrenaline rage where he couldn't think or adapt.  Those are the kinds of things that separate dogs that catch and good catch dogs.

I was given the pure AB so I’m not sure about how he is bred. I just contacted the guy the other day that gave him to me and he’s supposed to get all that info for me. I didn’t too much worry about it until I saw that I was going to like him. The AB blood in the brindle dog was his mother and she was a Scotts’s bred gyp. Again I don’t know the exact dogs  in her pedigree only that she caught well and was put together nicely. I recently let a friend take the brindle dog to use. He’s a nice dog but I’ve just gotten to where I think the pure AB is a better dog in every category except color.

Cool story about an old “country bulldog” named Watch out of Mississippi. I had a dog when I was a kid that went everywhere with me. We hunted anything that moved. Anyhow, I’m a sucker for Old Yeller & Where the Red Fern Grows. Stories are better when they are true, real life stories. Our world has changed so much that I think this kind of dog is a thing of the past. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201222/d4f83348789840ce67f12db6309ed976.jpg)

Shotgun that was a good story. Dogs like that are hard to find now. I don’t think it’s because they aren’t out there I think it’s because so much of the other types being bred that they are flooding the market so to speak. If these folks ever had the pleasure to hunt with these types most of them would see the difference and never be satisfied with the other type again. Some won’t ever see because no matter what they just can’t see.

I think maybe I’ve told this story before but I’m gonna tell it for those who haven’t read it. My dad and I had litter mate brothers that were a lot like ole Watch. Dad’s dog’s name was Gator. He was 95 pounds of brains and athlete. He lived to play ball and I don’t care what size or shape dog you let play ball with you, they couldn’t out run Gator to the ball and they couldn’t out last him. My dad had game chickens and homing pigeons and Gator stayed with them. If a rooster got loose Gator would get between him and whichever other rooster he was trying to fight and keep them separated. It might get to the point where the rooster would be soaking wet from Gator having to mouth him but wet is all he would be. He wouldn’t be hurt at all. He would not kill a chicken or a pigeon but killed two hawks and an owl. He had to tear into the pigeon pen through the wire to kill the owl but he got it lol. If it didn’t belong in the chicken yard it wouldn’t be there, or it was waiting for you when you came out. The first hog he ever saw he smashed like he had been doing it all his life. He understood every word you spoke and minded better than most kids. His brother Zeus was the exact same way. I could tell him sit, stay, lay, go get in the truck, get on the wheeler, get in the bath tub, go get on your blanket, etc. My favorite was going out in the pasture and the horses and cows being up at the gate. I would leave the gate open and you know horses and cows are going where the grass is greener as soon as you clear it. Well, I would just tell Zeus, you stay here and don’t let them out. They would come up and you’d hear that ole low deep growl and they’d turn back. He was a snake killing fool too. The point I’m trying to make is if you get dogs that have brains and the right disposition all that you gotta do is spend time with them.

Spending time with them is the key thing, if they spend enough time with you and with a little sense they’ll begin to pick up and learn what everything means and how to react and respond, I use to have a little short legged jug headed bulldog that couldn’t pop a grape but never missed a hog, he always ran loose and was around stock his entire life, I never once had any intent on trying to work cattle with him, but by just always being around and learning what my tones and commands and movements meant he eventually turned into a nice sorting pen hand, I never tired to gather cattle with him and he never offered he’d always follow me on horseback but just stayed by my horse, I never hog hunted him off horseback but scolded him one time for helping my cow dog catch a new calf I was tagging, after that he wouldn’t have anything to do with any cattle out in pasture, but in the sorting pen he’s do just as Tdog described and manned gaps, if I needed to send one down the lane past him he eventually learned what “let’er by” meant, unfortunately he was killed one night by a neighbors big mastiff/apbt looking dog, he outweighed Stroker by every bit of 50 lbs and it was a really cold near freezing night when they tied up, found
 him dead the next morning between the house and sorting pens, and the neighbors dog was never seen again either...

Yea I like ol bulldog stories like that
Lotta people have good stories with good real bulldogs - would like to hear some

I got one - her name was Dixie and  this is bout 17-18 years ago
She was white and fawn spotted pit
Athletic from the start
I got her from a friend that got her from another guy that soon become our friend
I seen Dixie several times as a pup and the first time I saw her I asked if I could buy her and she wasn’t for sell- time passed seen her several times shortly after that and he finally said Luke give me 50 dollars and she is yours - I took ol Dixie home and the fun begins
She caught hogs right off the bat
No Lesh no collars - only my command
She would sit and tremble listening to the bay till I said skit em
She went everywhere with me
She was smart as a whip and I could tell her and make her do  just about anything
She climbed ladders behind me at work
Ran across rafters and would bring me just about what ever I told her to on a construction site -
I swear she was smarter than most  hired helpers -
Kept a towel tied to cooler so she could open lid to get a cold drink out the cooler for me

She would ride on the tool box of my lil hunting truck and sometimes on the roof if she seen something she liked - she would sit on top of the truck and never take her eye of me at a party
One early morning after a “ all night hog hunt “ with some friends and few ladies I come home - I was still  at my parents house and the time - my dad was cutting grass down the drive way and I stopped trying to cover the “hunt where dogs never left the truck type hunt “ and he asked me in a way I never seen him ask did I have a good time?? Knew the question was not a real question and very firm and he rode on. I thought how in the crap he find out bout this “hunt” and I look in the rear view mirror and there is Dixie on the tool box with a natural light beer can in her mouth- ol girl got me in trouble

I could go on and on bout her !
Hunting stories by the dozens -several hogs under her belt and  she needed no help!
She was apart of our team - everyone loved Dixie!
I could show up somewhere and they would ask where is Dixie lol

She got ran over one day by the worst person it could have been and it is completely my fault-
I ran over her racing out the drive because it was raining she had been hunting in the branch and nasty cause she ran the yard loose - I was going to town real quick and wanted her to stay but she weren’t having it  and she ran under the truck -that was her truck and she was supposed to be in it and I was hauling ass to out run her like I did several times but she turned wrong way that day
Young and dumb cost me a good line of bulldogs cause I had planned to bred her very soon

I just talked to the original owner of this dog the other day and we talked about Dixie- tht line got killed out eventually and still trying to get back to having one like this - only dog I remember really crying over

Good ones come and good ones go -till this day I have not owned a dog quite like that - but time spent with a smart dog makes them for sure!

I read on another forum once where years ago if I recall correctly it was the Miller Brothers School of Hound Training, they had a curious attraction to the stories of these extremely smart hounds and wanted to know what made these dogs so smart, every account they heard of one of these brilliant hounds they would load up and drive wherever this hound was to study it and see it trying to piece together what made these hounds stand apart from the others, they looked at a pile of dogs over time of various breeds and crosses and used for various game, the only common denominator was all these hounds were raised in the house and most ran loose at home, but every single dog they studied had been raised in or around the house as a member of a family...

Goose,

That makes perfect sense to me. I feel like I’m always trying to learn and change what I’m doing with dogs, trying to find the magic sauce. I’ve had some that I had sleeping inside, and others that I never fooled with in hopes of them having more range. Well my old bulldog Thorn was the first dog I had that was MY dog and not technically my parents. Growing up we always had 1-2 dogs but my parents would never let me get my own dog. I graduated Basic Training and went to AIT, and my uncle called me about that bulldog. He always had real nice pits when I was growing up and I went over to his house to fool with dogs a lot. There was an old man named Jimmy Ray that he had known for years and years, and they would pass dogs back and forth. He said there was a litter on the ground and that if I wanted one he would keep it until I got back. So he kept the most dominant puppy, which turned out to be a great pet/yard dog that would catch anything you directed him at. I got the second most dominant, a nice red puppy. He had him in a pen for about 6 months until I was home, and then I took him with me. I didn’t start hog hunting until he was somewhere around 2 years old. That first part of his life he ran loose often, was in the house sleeping next to my bed, and rode all over the place with me. I’d take him hiking a lot too. He turned out to be a great RCD. He had his quirks, he got to where he absolutely did not want to be in a dog box. At the end of the hunt he would lay down in the woods about 40 yards from the truck and I’d have to go get him. Lord knows he pissed me off a lot, but he was a smart dog and always knew what you were saying. He was a real sweet well mannered dog too. Towards the end of his life my dad had been bugging me about wanting to have him, and I kept telling him that he was crazy, that dog wasn’t going anywhere. Now I wish I would’ve given him to him. He ended up getting out of a pen, and locking up with my lead dog through the hog panel. My lead dog had his head stuck out through it and couldn’t do anything, I’m presuming what killed him was his neck being broken. I have security cameras all around my house, I went back and watched the footage later because I had to know what happened.

I think he got rabies. It had been awhile since I gave the dogs shots and something I never really thought about. On the cameras he came over and laid on the front deck of my little storage building by the kennel. After 30 minutes he randomly got up and attacked the side of the kennel. They were locked up for an hour and 3 minutes if my memory serves me right. He went back and laid down, then randomly would attack the dead body throughout the night. When I got there I thought it was a coyote, until I just happened to see Thorn laying curled up in a bale of wheat straw on the deck. I walked up to him and he never wagged his tail or anything. He looked up with the saddest eyes I’ve ever seen in a dog. You absolutely could see that he knew exactly what he had done and that he knew how awful it was. You see those dogs had been best friends for several years, sleeping together inside the house. He looked up for maybe 3-4 seconds and we just held eye contact, he laid his head back down as if he knew it was time. I went and grabbed my gun and when I came back he never even looked up again. My wife was crying and being loud begging me to take him to the vet to be put down and not to do it myself. Even with all that commotion he never looked up, it was if he knew. I lost two absolutely amazing dogs that day, and still have not recovered from it. I’ve been trying to rebuild the team since that day.

Thanks guys, tight reverse scissor predominantly, rarely do I get an under Shot bite. Those can still bite hard usually but their teeth dont last with much use.

I asked that question just was curious because I have a real nice AB that just turned 4 and already retired because she had under bite and last big boar before deer season came in she broke out the rest of her K9s
I bred her to a straight pit hoping for straight pups with her head sense and catching ability

He’s definitely at the top of the breed standard haha he actually was just checked by the vet and he’s at 118 lbs he’s a big ol puppy still squats to pee
so far I have no complaints on endurance but he’s GREEN only had him on a hog a few times I cut him loose about 100 yards this past weekend because it was his first bay and at night I knew it’d take him a second to get in there because of his size…he broke the bay trying to find the hog but he ran the hog down after about 75-100 yards and caught it solid bite no regriping or anything was probably caught about 5 minutes max because we left him caught while we tied it so we could watch him make sure he was staying caught solid
so it’ll be after deer season before I’ll have a better idea of his endurance but I’ll keep y’all updated
