your opinions of why we cross the way we do...

i think i've heard of more bmc's that are rough than cats that are..understand i'm neither a cat nor a bmc guy..i'm just a hog dog guy..lol. i think your bmc's can add a lot of the same traits as a cat..just seems that people are more willing to put a cat over a catchdog than a bmc, just seems odd...

leonriver i think you make some really good points..i just think that bmc's are just as rough and add many of the same traits...scf i think being gritty is just more of a willingness to lay teeth, whereas rough is getting in there and latching on to an ear. i think it is safe to say that most of our bay dogs have a willingness to lay teeth to stop or spin a hog, but not a lot have that desire to get in there and latch on to an ear and go for a ride..lol...i know my pure bmc will lay teeth but she dang sure will not grab an ear, even after teh catchdog hits...now my bmc/dogo she will lay teeth AND she will latch on to an ear if the mood strikes her..lol..and she normally catches soon as the catchdog gets there...
