stag x bulldog

A stag is commonly not hard enough in there pure form to swing from big boars without assistance from a second dog. Eventhough I classify them as a catch dog because of the way their brain is wired, a big boar is often times to much for them. Some will catch and hold big boars 1 out but odds of getting a stag like this are not in a person's favor. They are usually not stand in their own guts hard and wont take the punishment the way bulldogs willingly do, BUT they are very good a avoiding punishment. Because a bulldog is so hard, it often times passes enough of this hardness to bay type breeds when crossed with them. It is very unlikely that a stag will pass on enough hardness when crossed to a bay type breed to yeild many catch dogs capable of most guys standerds in a catch dog. If you was to cross a stag to say a Cambells cur or Florida cur or whatever the seemingly straight catch cur lines are, then maybe you could expect enough hardness among the pups to get a decent amount of catch dogs.
   The hole reason why people cross bull blood into stags is to get the stag harder. Trying to keep speed but hardness. To go the opposite way and cross a stag to a bay breed would be more conducive to getting a fast bay breaker. The stags brain is wired to catch and kill, not bay and keep bunched the way bay breeds are normally bred for. This cross would most likely not have the mind to read how much pressure to apply to an animal to keep it bayed and most likely wouldn't care to keep it bayed, more likely to bite and spin the pig looking for any opening to get a bite but not hard enough to hold resulting in a bay buster. However, run a few of these bay x stag dogs and they would catch together but ham and elbows would be their most likely targets.
   To cross a stag and bulldog, you would need to find good parent stock because some stags lack stamina do to taking after the Grey blood in them and also watch out for flat feet. Sometimes people put so much emphasis on speed in the stags that they will cross to a hot blood grey which do not have to have the robust feet a working cold blood does. "You don't have a dog if you don't have a foot"
   Bulls run the gauntlet too in stamina and many many other areas. Don't cross to a game pit because the game coupled with the prey drive of the stag could be bad news to other dogs running near or past the dog. Not because of the game in the pit but more of what the prey drive in the stag would trigger in combination of the two. A stag x bulldog would be very interesting but breeding the wrong way with these dogs could be bad for stamina and aggressive towards other dogs when hunting.
   If I was crossing these two breeds, I would use a nice well balanced average pit x a good coyote stag that has good stamina that fights the head of a coyote.
   Hope you enjoyed my opinion and breakdown of the cross.
