FASTEST running CD you've ever seen?

[Piglywigly]

Not to stir the pot here, but didn't you just say we need better curs and not a RCD?

Then you just said, "I want my CD to be a RCD."

Now you've got me confused??

no problem bud....what I mean by that is even though I use my rcd (dogo) as a lead in cd, I want my cd to have the speed/lungs and versatility of a rcd for when its needed in a situation. Despite me not using a rcd as there intended for on every hunt there are times and situations when its good to have one. I think speed and lungs are a favorable quality in any catch dog and give them an advantage. So even though I dont use it to shut down runners (my curs do that) I still think it makes the dog a better catch dog overall with more advantages and versatility than a block headed short cd that gets winded quickly and is slow. As I said earlier any rcd can be a lead in cd but not vise versa!
For example about 2 mo. back we cut the cd into a bay it broke when it saw the dog coming and they ended up catching him a few hundred yards away but it was so thick it took us close to an hour to get there, my dogo was caught and doing o.k, a regular lead in cd would have had a heat stroke so I was glad I had an RCD despite not using him as one on a regular basis.  

fair enough! I was just pulling your chain a little bit.

dabutcher,  she will bark a few times when she strikes and then try and catch.  the last big one she struck really put it to her and the other cur dogs, and she backed up and bayed with my 2 cur dogs.  i hope it knocked some smarts into her and maybe she will bay until help comes.  she is definitely rough running to the bay or on a hog that breaks.....these friggin dogs are faster than anything i have owned......especially the big male named Fergie....pigstkr

Here's a dog that has been fast enough to run down some hogs for us.  He's slightly faster than your avg cur with a 3 layer kevlar vest on, lungs about like a cur, is about 75lbs and is straight catch.  He's a lead in dog because that's how we hunt but he's been cut loose on some runners and has yet to be out run so I guess that makes him fast enough.  Its something to see a hog break and the biggest dog on the ground is passing curs to run it down.  Now I don't think there's any chance this dog could hang with a greyhound cross but he's working for us.

re-phrased- how is this dog bred? that is the kind of catch dog i like, i really like the way he is built

[aussiedogger]

my goal is a dane X pitbull X english pointer

[Piglywigly]

Aussiedogger, is that a bully x grey on your icon picture? How my inches tall is that dog? He's pretty!

[dabutcher]

looks a lot like a Bull Arab to me... idk.

Here is the fastest dog out of me and my buddys dogs that will catch she has goten alot more gritty with age and I just wish I knew what kind of dogs she had in her she hunts at 75 - 80 pounds she is the red one

Thats a good looking red dog, I saw a visla (bird dog) crossed with a pit that looked alot like that but it didnt have near the leg that yours does. It would have been a good dog to cross over to a dane or dane mix to end up with something close to that.
