I have two questions. One is why did y'all choose the AB's instead of another breed or crosses? Two what do y'all look for or expect from a "catch dog"?

The advantages I liked about the right bred, AB or dogo, vs my pits boiled down too two main things. More athletic regarding speed and endurance with the same hardness you need to trust in your cd (never let go). I also like the extra leg that keeps them holding with feet on the ground like a wrestler vs a short legged cd getting its front legs up to hold the ear and getting dish toweled or rodeo-ed as much. My final straw is when some really nice pits of mine drown from not letting go as the pig died and sank, never lost an AB or dogo like that but had 3 good pits have that happen after having allot of time in them was frustrating.

And FYI I know the right pit (mostly game bred from what ive seen) can be as athletic as any dogo/ab just saying in general the pure blood pits ive been around that were that athletic were smaller in length and weight and got there front legs up more than i preferred. Thats me being picky though 90% it dont matter and legged many of hog behind some short pits.
