Raider I fugured you would agree being as the same
sorta thing happened to you recently.
I am with all the folks on the "cull" side,a true
catch dogs job is to catch the hog peroid, not get smart and wait for you or what ever,catch and catch till you need him to let go. I also agree if this type of thing happened to the dog or like raiders dog it could happen again at the wrong time and get someone or dogs hurt. If I wanted dogs to wait on me and catch on command I would go back to some old rough azz cur dogs but I enjoy my bulldogs and like them but will cull a quitter.....just my oppinion tho,if a dog suits a man and he is feeding it it all comes down to what the mans own perception of good is and his expectation levels.
It's those ones that won't "hang on till their dead" that you ought to be concerned with. I don't need a "smart" bulldog. It's nice to speculate that the dog wouldn't quit on you in your moment of need...but if they quit once...they'll quit again.
If you're talking bulldogs...lack of self preservation is their defining quality.
X2...
my thing is the next time he does it you may be running in to leg the hog and just as you get there he gets hit wrong and quits on you. then you are looking a pissed off hog that has not dogs on you. now you are up a tree and you can't "slap the sense back into them". there is a reason they call hogs the poors man's grizzly..lol. if i ever get any culls boarninja i'll send them your way...lol...if you have any culls give me a buzz as well...lol
Pretty much what I was typing while you were....if you ever ran into a bay and a CD has decided to quit for what ever reason it ain't a good feeling
a cut down inable to continue is different than one who quits and the decides to go ahead back in there.
