We have a few different dogs we run. My favorite two on my yard are littermates, a brother and a sister. They’re Dad is a cold nosed long range Ladner BMC, the Mom is a well bred RCD pit that comes from old blood, I think Wooten. There have been 3 litters from the same parents and almost every dog turns out and they’re all about the same. They’re silent, and are straight catch. Both of mine will catch anything, even if they’re alone. They’re suicidal dogs. I’m also running a puppy off of the female, she’s 1/4 black mouth and 3/4 pit. I think she’ll be a short to medium range dog. She’s already suicidal and straight catch at around 12 months old. I run a pit that doesn’t really hunt, he just honors them and runs with the pack.
I hunt with my buddy Timmy a lot and he runs an airepit that is silent, straight catch, even by herself. And he runs two pits that are the same way. They will both hunt. Most of our dogs will go over a mile on a track, even the pits. Almost all the pits we have will find their own pigs. He has a few other mixed up breeds that are about the same.
I don’t think this type of dog would work for your style of hunting Black Streak, they’re better for a pack style hunting. But I think some people interpret a pack of alligators as just rough dogs, that’s not the case in my personal opinion. None of these dogs need another dog for them to catch. They will all catch a big boar even by themselves. Typically though they stay packed together. We mainly hunt for farmers that want the pigs destroyed. So the goal is to shut them down quickly and violently. 9 times out of 10 when we get to a caught pig it’s buckled and down on its stomach, we don’t have to grab the legs or anything to stick it. Smaller pigs are often completely destroyed by the time we get there. Especially if they’re caught over a mile away.
The 1/2 BMC 1/2 pits that I have are great dogs. They’re silent, stay busy hunting, and are quick on track. They’re shorter range dogs. If they’re over 350yds they’re running a track. These two dogs are what my yard will eventually be based on. I want to find an easy Texas Black mouth that hunts similarly to throw to one of them and then I’ll start line breeding them. That will bring in a little more size as well. They’re not real big dogs at around 40-45lbs.
