ive been reading alot and talking to different people and like to have this conversation with people. some people have a dog that they say "he/she is super gritty it will catch anything under 150" it my opinion thats not gritty thats catchy. what do you guys think? is there a difference between the two?

Most definately, and a lot of people confuse the two.
I love a gritty dog, but do not prefer ones that are overly catchy....that's a job better suited for my bulldogs.

i agree. i like a dog that will bite a running hog then back off and bay. anything else is just a bay buster. |

A gritty dog can be alot of help. A catchy dog could ruin your night. I like a bay dog that has enough grit in it to turn a pig, bay until the catch dogs get there, and then it can be as catchy as it wants once the big boys have a hold of it.

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 |

I haven't thought about it much but I always thought that gritty, catchy, and rough were pretty much the same thing. To me it means a dog that you can't rely on to catch solid but wants to tear a hog up. We have some rough curs that if you don't get there in time, they will dispatch the hog for you. Mostly the curs that are bird dog x and our big ole cat, Rowdy. I'm glad yall shed some light on the difference between'em. Now we have a cur dog that came from the old line of dogs that were used for hereding hogs back in the day and he bays real loose, he is one of our strike/bay dogs that has been on many big hogs and the only one we own that doesn't have a scar on him.

I have considered rough and gritty as the same thing, but catchy totally different. Gritty and rough to me are they will get the hog spun but while baying if they think they can get away with it they will bite or nip at the hog but let go if they know they cant handle it. Catchy is when you have a dog that will bark maybe only once or not at all and then the rodeo is on cause he is hanging on for dear life. The funniest one I seen was at a baying Gyp named mean girl she didnt care how big he was that was a caught hog. I think she belongs to somebody on here but that dogs feet didnt touch the ground for about 30 seconds.
