when do you cull a catch dog? do you cull if it bays one of the biggest baddest hogs you have seen? bays once its hurt? if a hog gets away from it once its caught?.... now i dont expect anyone to get rid of their best cd until it has a replacement so lets say it bays a big nasty one night in some thick stuff after getting cut and thrown in the air... whats your call?
this isnt anything that has actually happened. im just curious

bays once its hurt? yes, if it is has the strength to bay and bark, then he better be using that strength to try to catch the hog, not barking.
if a hog gets away from it once its caught?....nope, I think any catch dog can get thrown, it's what the dog does after he has been thrown that matters to me.
now i dont expect anyone to get rid of their best cd until it has a replacement so lets say it bays a big nasty one night in some thick stuff after getting cut and thrown in the air... whats your call?cull
Pretty black and white for me. That said, I have a catch dog that catches wild, mostly on the snout, and many would cull him for that. I don't mind where he catches as long as he is caught, or attempting to catch when I get there. The day that dog EVER barks at a hog, is the last time he will ever see a hog.

X2 pretty much sums it up for me. x3 If the dog will bark at a hog its not a catchdog IMO. This applies to grown dogs only. I've sen some young CD propects bark at a hog when they were pups but once they matured and figured it out they were all bite and made dang good CD's. |

X4 to all the above replies! I also want one to locks down don't want him ripping and shaking the hog or regripping. Just lock down and stay locked down.

x5. I dont mind if a dog regrips cause hes thrown but he better not step back and bark..
Now that being said ive had cur dogs that we used more as RCDs and occasionally one would back up and bay after trying him..that doesnt bother me (too much) but my bulldog better not bark.

If it ever backs up on, or quits a hog...it's a cull.

I say cull a catch dog if he doesn't catch. Our cd, Ammo was caught on a big hogs ear one time and he got thrashed againsts a tree and then overheated to the point that he couldn't stand on his own but he was still locked on that ear when we got to him. In my oppinion, that is a catch dog.  |

ok i somewhat take it back. the dog in my avatar has had 2 hogs get away from him. first time. duke bayed a stinkin boar in some crawlin on hands and knees thick stuff. i cut the cd loose he went in, i heard lots of rustlin around and the hog got away before i got there. i never saw the hog but smelled him. duke and cd took off. i cut him off 1/2 mile away and he had 2 holes in a new kevlar vest. second time. duke had a 150lb hog caught for a good while 200yards off the road. sent in cd. it was thick as the stuff the first hog got away in. i was on my belly and got my hand 6 inches from the back hoof and the hog started moving and didnt stop. never saw that hog again. i think his flaw is that he just needs a stronger jaw. or hes a wimp and lets go when he gets poked in the eye. the second time he had a swole up eye for a week. this cd is pit/cur. he is now hunted like the curs except with a vest. hes gonna have to prove himself on a lot more hogs before he will be the only cd again. what are some opinions on hogs getting away from a cd once its caught? |

If a catch is suppose to catch then IMO if it dont then it is a cull. I have had my dogs (bmcs) cut to peaces be cause of a so called catchdog could not do his job after they did theirs.So for me it would be a cull, no matter what happened.

Whats yalls opinion on a 2 yr old cd that has never once barked at the baddest hog... however, one catch/bay gone wrong in the middle of summer ... broken bay and the cd took off and caught again (heard squeeling) about 20 min later, and garmin said treed. It took us close to an hour to get to the hog and dogs at witch time the dog was laying in the water due to exhaustion (not cut/small 130 lb boar) saw us caught again stuck pig then went to the truck. The dog has not barked at a pig since, but did show some self preservation last summer or would have died.  Opinions please.... |

Catch dogs don't bay... period. Mike, your ability to sum it all up in just a few little words never ceases to amaze me! I have recently discovered that I have a different standard for catch dogs than a lot of other folks. Higher, lower, or just a different standard is relative when you consider your post. Catch dogs don’t bay…Period. I will never argue with that! |

i dont think there is anything wrong with the dog you're talking about. ive had a dog that caught until he over heated and died. that dog is dead. i have another that was in the same situation as the one ur talking about. i caught a hog with him the other day.
