If your looking for an APBT I would not be as concerned with how it's bred as how it's made and what kind of temperament it has. This coming from a guy who has had nothing but fast lane bulldogs for over 35 yrs. I have tried my dogs on hogs over the last 5 yrs with limited success. The last one was 55 lbs of want to who never learned to find a mark. He was the biggest pain to get thru the briers with. The one before that coulda been a good catchdog but was getting older. I got a linebred catchdog APBT 1 1/2 yrs ago and he got to hunt this year for the first time and man what a diff. He went to the ear every time and if the ear was taken he got the cheek. He weighs 72 lbs after a month of steady hunting. He is lean and tall like a good APBT should be. His handle is improving all the time. You can tye him to a tree 4 ft away and he will settle pretty quick while you are tying the hog. I don't like the term gamebred very much cause it don't mean schat anymore but those type dogs are a little more of a crapshoot with temperament issues. You are in the middle of a bunch of old dog guys tho where your at. You don't need a game dog to catch hogs just one who knows he is catchdog and not a sometime catchdog! Good luck with your search.
