My friend has a huge leggy airdale that’s a rcd. He doesn’t want to sell it so I think I got him talked intoletting me build my own lol. Does anyone have any experience crossing one over with a small pit or dogo. Both are lead in cd. Thought I wanted small catchdogs until mine got walked off with and couldn’t control the hog. I’ve always found them hairy dogs from Australia interesting. What one would add more into it than take away

I currently use 3 Airedales and a Staghound for hogs. It took me a very long time to find good hard Airedales. My male is my main dog. He finds hogs and catches solid. I use them for coon/vermin hunting as well. Hell one time we were out quail hunting and he caught and killed a javelina on his own! I wouldn’t call Airedales the best hunting dogs because how could they be? No one is really breeding specifically for hunting at this point. Even then, they are very good versatile dogs and a good one makes a damn good hog dog. Mine (Vango) is about 27ish inches at the shoulder and is usually around 80-85lbs in shape, tall & leggy. Full Airedale too I have his full AKC papers, he’s got some Mooreland blood far back. My females are around 60-65lbs and catch like bulldogs, one in particular is near suicidal on boars. Lots of stamina. Shaving them down takes a couple hours but you only have to do it a few times a year. Is your friend still using that Airedale? I just had my first two litters this year, and in august, I’m always on the lookout for other good hunting dales to cross into the ones I have
