up until i got my leg cut real bad i had never owned a catch dog, for years i hunted rough cur dogs only... My dogs are rough, they will find their own hogs bay them and catch them, I only hunt 3 dogs at a time, all YBMC dogs, and they will find catch and hold a 150# hog till i get there...a catchy dog will catch and let go, get you hurt and loose lots of hogs for you, a gritty dog will help catch and stop a hog and so on, just a all out rough dog will stop it and catch it... thats just my opinion... Everybody likes something a little different... A hog dog needs grit to make it, now that i have a bulldog i wish mine would bay till he gets there, but it aint workin that way yet
there is a big difference between gritty and catchy and rough... different strokes for different folks
