Centex, how are you dogs doing I've talked to you a few times about them but it's been awhile
Theyre all doin good the bully Danes are coming on well just this past weekend we picked a spot to drop in the crops and as soon as the two hit the ground they went 900 and cought a little boar. Took these rookies for the ride but that was the only pig of the night so we'll have to get em on some on the next trip

Bullydanes-Turk and Barron

The rookies-McGreggor crosses

Thanks guys those all look like solid vests that fit well. Centex, as you have had all three, do you have a preference? Is the pigga frigga mostly seatbelt webbing or is it a cordura type material?

Here is my dog Wolf by the way.


Also, has anyone ever clipped a long haired stag down?

All three are seatbelt only, of the three I like the JS Ent. and Hairy holder because it can be got local. Ive heard of clipping and thought about it myself depending how each dog handles the heat

Rob in a Hairyholder

Wolfgang in a JS Enterprise

McGreggor in a Pigga Frigga

And McGreggor stopping for some pics with his fans lol

All the dogs I run are expected to find and catch so they all wear a vest. They type I use are designed to be on a runnin dog. Theyre all ozzie vests. My suggestion for a stag vest is when your looking at one make sure the leg holes are long from front of shoulder/leg back to wear the leg can make full range of motion at the ribs. If it stops the dogs legs from making that full range motion when they pull theyre elbow back at wide open run youll be killing theyre speed. Which is the stag/hairy dogs advantage.

Nice score Man. Cant beat that one

I have one available. You can see them on (pimp your puppies) post page 6. You can PM me questions

Future Hairy dog OneOuts

having some problems with the new photobucket format

Daughter on top, sire on bottom
Hes a pure stag that regularly caught 200+lb boars in the pitch dark one out.

I run and breed one out type dogs. You can review most old post to see what kind of dogs I work with. I have a female pup available if your interested pm me and we can go over the particulars of her breeding.

check out Boardogs.com clasifieds. Youll see some serious pig rigs there

HELLUVAJOB Eric!! I would have left the diamond plate raw for heat dissipation but all in all outstanding!

That's an obvious confidence issue. Put him on more hogs with that other dog for a few months and he should get over it

I have hunted with several of both and if your comparing same size dogs, Holding power is about the same. The difference comes in whether you want your RCD to hunt or find its own, or wait for another dog to take it to the pig. A stag willll hunt but it depends on breeding and maturity. A stag must be given time to mature to reach its best potential. And Im talking 3yrs. So it takes some comitment and patients to have stag pups in your yard. So for you guys that dump a dog after a couple hunts. Your gona send on what might be a sledge Hammer on a big boar given another 6mos to a year. But thats the trade off to have speed, hardness and no doubt about the result.

Now I bet y'all could have figured this one out. The Danes are similar with the maturity deal but not quite as long 1 1/2 yrs is a better measure for the switches to flip.
The marked difference is a Dane will run a track. A Dane is also a pig winding SOB. They hunt like no other dog typically used. So it's very hard to picture. But a Dane will get intence put its nose and head very high and straight and float right to the pig and then without much pause or excitement grab a hold.
With time It would be very hard to use a Dane as a dog that only fallows other dogs to the pigs. I don't pretend to be some expert but I've invested all my time into these breeds of dog and done the research as well as use them.
I enjoy both. They're both fast, both strong, and both big depending on breeding. But for me since Im not gona run a strike only type dog with them my money would go to A Dane as an alrounder. Unless the Stag was bred from nose hunting stags then its a wash.

In my yard I may have Catdo or an English pointer that's highly trained, great at finding hogs and gets out to thousand yards. But if that dog backs up and bays for me it's a cull.

What? I can understand a Catdo, but a pointer really? ew thats gross, almost as bad as a walker.....

Lol
Yeah I have one right now, and he's a great dog but not hard enough. 
I run a combination of Aussie gear and a similar American version my buddy makes called a hairy holder. The Aussie stuff is Duncan's, Pigga Frigga, and JS Enterprises. The Holders are just as we'll crafted and local with a few customizations( or upgrades) the Aussies take a real minimalist view on cut gear so he's added a few things like jaw flaps and wider girth straps. They're made primarily out of seatbelt. They take alot of hits and very seldom even get a poke thru. If the dog holds clean there's not much to worry about.

It was a one time deal. I dont know anybody making this cross.

Hey Chad I have two pups from my Bully/Dane litter last year. I'll post pics when I get a chance but if your interested in a pit/DaneXpit/Dane breeding give me a holler.
 I was wondering who you got your stag from. Looks like a dog I hunted with.

~Krystale~
The word cull is pretty broad anyway. It kind of needs defining on an individual basis. Expl. A Whitetail high fence cull may be a 150 class buck, but on my wall it looks pretty good to me. In my yard I may have Catdo or an English pointer that's highly trained, great at finding hogs and gets out to thousand yards. But if that dog backs up and bays for me it's a cull. However that's a damn good strike dog to somebody else. A turd is turd. And you can't polish one. That kind of dog never leaves. I apologize if I'm beating this to death, just trying to clarify.

Lol

Mrs. Louisiana
That's exactly what Im saying. I put a lot of time and patients into my dogs. Sometimes years trying to bring out the dogs potential that I see in it. There comes a time when decisions must be made and time has proved the obvious, that the dog in question is not cut out for the job being asked of it. In this case Striking and Catching come hell or high water, stand in his or her guts hardness and still hold so I can get there to kill the hog and save the dog. Some of the dogs I try just don't have it when it comes right down to it. I'm trying to create a line of dogs with hunt drive, intelligence, and stand in the guts hardness. Bottom line when they don't meet those criteria I send them down the road and someone gets a pretty darn good dog.

Blah, Blah, Blah.... Too many variables to argue over RCD's.

1st you have to agree on a solid definition of a Running Catch Dog, that unanimously everybody can agree on to even start this arguement. Since everyones definition is different then you will never have a solid answer. ... Now why is everyones opinion different you ask?

We hunt different terrains and different hogs.

South Ga, a RCD is any Breed of dog that will hunt his/her own hogs, will not let out a single bark, and will catch. Period. What works good, different terrain requires different dogs. It all boils down to what produces best for you.

So, L3 by YOUR stated def of RCD's, I have 1

These days we don't even call em RCDs anymore. There's too much confusion with exactly what kind of dog we're talking about. It's hard enough getting ppl to except the fact that our dogs do what we say they do. We just call em Finder/holders or OneOuts . A dog only gets called a OneOut in our yard if it can be expected to hold any pig it may come accross. Usually I sell a dog cause its not fitting the bill, not meeting expectations, or not suitable for breeding, I tell the buyer what they're getting they try to talk me down on price in disbelief. So to get the dog gone and in a hunting home I might take a little less. About a week or two later I get a call stateing exactly what I said the dog would do and do I want sell some more of my dogs. Mine and L3s dogs find and catch pigs and live to do it every hunt. Plain and simple. Your dog has to have big b.lls and so does the man handling them to trust they're not gona die. If a dog in my pack bays it get culled. Meaning it gets sent down the road to someone else that can use it.
