It used to be real easy to find bulldogs but the last 10 years, it has gotten a lot harder to find a real catchdog. I am talking about a dog that has no dog or people aggression, one that seldom misses & is a ear dog.
When I have a good dog like that, a dog that puts his life on the line everytime you cut him loose to a bay, I am going to do everything in my power to protect him. To many varibles that might hold you up getting there & that vest might be the only thing that saves him. JMO
KKnot, I had a dog just like what you are describing. He could run a hog down quick but one day I forgot my vest, hog boke before he got there & race was on in thick briars. He caught the hog about 1/2 mile away & was cut down. He died on the way to the vet.
x2 on getting a good bulldog today...The last 2 pups I bought were some of the best looking pups one could buy...looks, speed, stamina and about the size I like...but they were not catch dogs at 1.5 years of age...used to be in the 1980's - 1990's almost any bulldog out of the pound would catch an ear and not back down no matter what...
you get a good bull dog nowadays and it should be well taken care of because a good bulldog is hard to find in my opinion...unless one breeds bulldogs for catch dogs it is the luck of the draw in getting a good one in my opinion...
