im confused maybe its the bud light talkin but from what i just read you have a hog as a main dog thats 450 pushers and has knives like a jap chef.... if you have a rough DOG then its best to vest him up and let him learn

My experience has been that they will either learn to back up (once they have been cut a few times) or they don't last too long.

he just likes what he does, get a vest from wildboar usa and keep him in the woods. i also would recommend getting a first aid kit and know how to use it

Maybe try a bib, he is what he is. Maybe find one or two more just like him, if you like that style of hunting.

If he's Gritty, If he won't hunt with a vest, If he keeps Busting up the Bay tryna catch and u still want to keep him as ur lead dog I personally would Build my pack around him, which means more gritty dogs that's gonna jump on with him when he catches.... But that's jmo.

anything under 200 i dont turn a bull dog loose i just let him catch it but i dont trust him to hold anything bigger than that. and yea i got a little gyp that is just like him. i kind of like it honestly because i know if i get there and the hog aint caught than its got some size to it. i might try one of those bikini bay vest

Are they both on the ground when he goes to catching? Will he catch if he is the only dog on the ground? |

Make him live in his vest in his kennel for a week or so then try to hunt him with it on. I had one just like him miss that old dog.

I have a dog that was just like that it took him 4 years and around 60 cuts for him to finally figure out he ain't got to catch everything, the other day I witnessed him baying a Lil 90lb boar I think he's tired of being cut and has learned the ways to bad it took him so long and so many staples lol

Sounds like an old poacher type cur dog. Dont need a bulldog with a pair of these dogs if they work a hog correctly.
If he is getting gritty and biting then letting go over and over while baying....you bet he is a bay buster.
Stand back and watch him baying to determine if this is the problem.
If you want to attempt getting him rougher ..walk him in and turn him loose with your catch dog while vested. Wont take long for him to be almost straight catch if he has any metal to him.
I have had a bit of success on getting them to bay more....let him bay at the house for an extended amount of time on a hog he cannot catch...cage, wire, use a muzzle ect. After continued practice it seems to be a mental thing. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. All depends on how much he means to ya.
If he is busting bays and he isn't a big deal..its just easier to put dirt on his head and get one that works the way you want.
Good luck.
