Everything you'll have mentioned sounds really good.For me number one is never missing I can't stand a bulldog that misses and causes a hog to break even if it's not very often I won't tolerate it.I get hot if the cur dog works their tail off to get a hog bayed and the bulldog ruins it.I will tolerate some other stuff if I know 100% when I send em it's a caught hog.I don't call my bulldogs off a caught hog either and for the same reasons nlahunter said I don't mind breaking one off and tieing them back.So #1 is catch percentage I prefer 100% .#2 is when the hog breaks before the bulldog makes it to the bay I want my bulldog to immediately come back to me with a call or a tone Immediately so we can regroup that's my second biggest pet peave is a bulldog that trys to run the hog with the curs if it breaks I prefer a bulldog with nose plugs and super hearing lol.#3 is I want my bulldog to go straight to the bay no matter how far he's sent from and no matter how much hog scent is around or how many hogs are around.When I hunt off the airboat and a hog is being finicky about holding bay I will look at my Garmin real good and make sure I have a straight shot on the airboat to the bay and sometimes send Dozer from 6-800yds wait till he catches fire up the boat and drag race to the hog.I caught a lot of trophy hogs like that on public land that otherwise break everytime they hear the airboat fire up no matter how far away I learned my airboat can make 800yds the same as 50yds on foot but the bulldog had better have wind and listen if toned back.I like a leggy athletic bulldog with an extremely hard mouth and Zero regrip males around 60-65# and females 50-55# 100% Ear no exceptions here either 100% Ear period.They need to look good as well as have a good personality if a dog is ugly or a dick I can't feed it might be foolish but that's how it is.I also want consistency in the line with all these traits.
