better is both relative and subjective. first what exactly do you expect in a catchdog? for examples:: will he be turned in at 20 yards or 200 yards from the bay/fight, will he have any help form the bay and or strike dogs , what type of country will you hunt in, will he be the only catchdog on each hog, how much stamina do you expect from the catchdog on each hunt, do you care if your catchdog is on injured reserve half the time, do you care of you are constantly replacin catchdogs due to death or serious injuries.all these and other qustions need to be answered before the answer of whats better can really be answered. then all dogs of a breed dont preform the same also. all that being said ive hunted with a lot of both breeds and have been lucky to have some real good ambulls.bottom line though is what the indivual dog does for me.
This is the best answer I think. I don't have pits but I've hunted a lot with one that was absolutely an awesome dog. Seen some since that I had no use for. The bulldogs we have now satisfy me and that, I think, is the biggest part of the puzzle. It's like asking "which girl is the prettiest?" Depends on who ya ask. My granddad used to say "if everyone liked the same thing they'd all be after your grandma!"
