Catch and let go? That ain't a catch dog. But that ain't the breed. I have seen pits that I would not call a catch dog, not many but at least two. Lots of dogs will catch, and I do mean catch and hold until you tell them to release. I ain't calling any breed imitators. Because someone will sure nuff show you you are wrong. There are culls in every breed too. Don't judge a breed by the culls.
x2.....just becuase its a pit doesnt mean its the best catch dog ever....we hunted pit after pit and yeah they catch well....but they would get to hot and couldnt keep up with our dogs. so we had to find something that had a lil more heat resistance and have some leggs on them to keep up with our dogs and horses. thats why we raised our ridgeback up and trained him on hogs and maybe we got lucky(a lot of people say ridgebacks dont catch good) but this dog catches just as good and as hard as any pit we have owned(same goes for our cat catchdog). when he grabs a hogs ear he isnt coming of till its dead. To tell the truth we dont like for our dogs to stay latched or cought on a hog after its dead. when we say dead hog, get out...our dogs release and move on...maybe sometimes we have to give them a lil pull. just thought i would put this out there so pitman understands we are talking about catchdogs not gritty dogs that grab a pig or hog and let go and grab again. dont want to make anyone mad but like isaid before: it depends on how you and your other dogs hunt and where you hunt to what breed might fit you better.
