What's your favorite breed or cross for a running catch dog? Post a pic if you got it.

If I liked the RCD style i would look into the Aussie style of hunting and breeding. Everything from wolf-hound/pit crosses, to catahoula/dogo, or dane/pits. Thats just the american versions of one out or rcd dogs..look into some of there websites I will try to post one for you later. The best 2 I have been around (which isn't many) was a pit x cur and a ridgeback.

I've read ozziedoggers and boardogs websites. My good friend is Australian and he's told me about all the dogs he has used. I'm was wondering what other crosses guys are using like you said a pit/cur, pit/cat, catdo, cat/american bulldog, plott/pit, full cat, full BMC, etc. and get some feedback on which breed/cross works best.

I only have one rcd, I would rather bay and lead in a cd, but some places I hunt I can catch more hogs if I turn out my rcd. He is a greyhond x dogo and can outrun any hog in the woods.

This dogo/greyhound cross is also very popular in Argentina in the open land areas. They are extremly fast. I had the pleasure once to be out with a group of them hunting once.
They were quite high and very leggy, build to run.

Running Catchdog- Fast with a solid grab. As far as breeds and crosses go, It is in each dogs personal methods and style but I like my Greyhound/Whippet crosses.

MY rcd's are cur x pit or ab, or catahoula x pit or ab. I also run my DOGOs loose on the ground from time to time depending on how and where we are hunting. If I could afford it I would run an all DOGO pack on the ground at all times no matter what an have a help/pack dog that ran with them that would just bay.

When running a pack of RCD you want an "alarm clock" to signal where the catch is as all the dogs will be caught and some big boys don't scream.

I agree. Greyhound/pit or stag. I'm kinda looking to see what people are using that has a little nose to it and not just sighthound. |

why not a dogo x? I have hunted with other folks dogo crosses and have yet to see one I liked. Most that I saw did not have what I want in a RCD. To me a DOGO is a good rcd all by itself and does not need to be crossed. Not saying some crosses do not work, but for me they are not part of my program. |

I like the "alarm Clock" saying. I never thought of that. As it is now I have to either listen hard or track to most of the catches as my strike dog only barks once or twice before catching the hog. Unless it is a rank fighter. |
