for about 19 years i didnt own a catchdog and usually didnt hunt with folks who used one either. we had some dogs that would catch but i didnt have a ;lead in catchdog till i got to using american bulldogs about 15 years back. how far i turn in a bulldog all depends on the bulldog or bulldogs, the terrain and the dogs on the ground. if we hear dogs gettin hurt and are close enough to get a person to the dogs within a couple minutes we will turn in a bulldog or bulldogs. personally i like havin 2 bulldogs that on their own can hold most rank boars for 10 or so minutes. i prefer a bulldog to be 70 to 90 lbs. part of the reason i like 2 bulldogs is just because you turn 2 loose dont mean both will make it there( may catch own hog etc) or one may get taken out of action by the hog and so then all you have is one bulldog. now the dogs you are hunting with decide what type bulldog you need a lot also. the pack of dogs we typically hunt now will catch alot of hogs without a bulldog so a big bulldog or 2 isnt as important. the dogs we hunted with for many years would not help a bulldog too much if it were a bad hog so the more bulldog power the better. and since it came up in some post on this thread, ive tried to have cow broke bulldogs so ya dont have issues in that area, not sayin never had a accident but after one the dogs got broke really quick.
