Ab vs pitbull

My 2 cents for what its worth.

I personally prefer a pitbull on the smaller side 40-55lbs or so due to size mainly. I have hunted with some really nice ab's that Mr. Bryant (underdog) bred that could get it done as good as any pit i have hunted behind. The 1 big difference (in my experiences) is that all of the ab's ive hunted with have been lead in dogs, not to say that you couldnt send em to a bay, i just have not seen it. The way we hunt most of the time we get within 50-100yds from the bay and turn a pit to em then follow right behind as opposed to walking the pit all the way to the bay.

One of, if not the biggest factor in my opinion is what the rest of your dogs will do when the bulldog gets there. Ours are generally a bit rougher and more often than not catch the hog without a bulldog but they have enough sense to know when they need to back up and bay, they all pile on with the bulldog which is another reason i tend to lean towards a smaller pit as opposed to a bigger cd, if our dogs didnt help catch i would be looking for an ab to use.

Bottom line is both breeds have rockstars and culls, dont worry about the breed as much as the line that the dogs come from and decide what will fit your hunting style the best.
