What would your catch dog do?

[hansonw]

Hypothetical question  bc I know some will say my bay dogs don't trash but let's say they did one hunt. Your hunting and your dogs bay a cow, horse, beaver, goat or whatever something besides a hog. You feel that it's a solid bay and its a good hog and you turn your cd loose what is he going to do when he arrives to the bay of something that is not a hog? Is he going to catch or not?I'm not catching cows or anything lol I'm just wondering. Bc of people saying my cd only messes with pigs myself included. Bc it's a different scenario when the cd is on the ground or sees a critter that's not getting bayed. I would just think that the cd might feel like I'm supposed to catch what ever they are baying when I get here.  What do you think your catch dog would do?

My ridgeback wpuld come back seen him do it on a skunk and coon my cat idk he might try varmints idk on else my pit yeah it would be caight what ever it was.

I'm thinkin mine would give it a try. That's why I like to TRY and see the bay. Can't always but it's my first choice.

ChaseG has a story about his dogs baying a "hog" let the CD go and when they got there, there was a freshly killed coyote. That coyote never stood a chance.

I have seen it go either way. There are some catch dogs that will stop right there. There are some that will catch.

The idea that just because its being bayed it should be caught is a false premise in my book. Catch dogs have to have brains too. In no way would a catch dog get a free pass if they caught some thing they were not suppose to.... bayed or not.

I would say mine would prolly catch anything except a cow or horse , my catch dog is scared of both

[justincorbell]

not a doubt in my mind that if my currs had a cow bayed that my little cd would catch it in a hurry

[charles]

When i had a cd, she was caught on a cow. The finally shook her off and steped on her, thought i was gonna hav to put her down, but she was just tired and overheated. That ended the hunt before it really got started.

[Demondoggers]

My RVs which he a pit won't catch anything big a pig but my lead in or back up CD will catch anything.

I don't think my ridgeback Pitt would. He runs with the bay dogs so if it happens it could get interesting. I have only seen him bay once and it was a big sounder. Ran on in once a bull dog got there. That makes me think he does use his brain some.

My bulldogs are gonna catch what's bayed. They haven't been "trash" broke.

So, I take it that your catchdogs are trash broke prior to ever turning them loose to their first bay in the woods. How many times have you had to educate your catchdog for catching something other than a hog that was bayed?

[M Bennet]

mine catch what i put them on

[Acwells0808]

They are going to catch it!! My dogs know bay and catch..lol

[dodgegirl]

My catch dogs wouldnt catch it.

[Kid7]

My bulldog would i bet. But my most used cd here latley wouldn't unless I pulled the trigger lol

[jon]

mine would catch a cow im sure but ive seen em come back from other trash critters though

Zero. I have never had to break one of my catch dogs off. The few catch dogs I raised from pups were trash broke prior to hunting. It has always been tag along people whos dogs trashed. I have purchased dogs along the way that were questionable but using a little common sense when hunting with stike dogs that may trash goes a LONG ways.

Im not turning my nose up at a dog who trashes from time to time. Just let me know a head of time when we hunt so we can adjust and hunt accordingly. Funniest deal I ever saw was a guy who could send his catch dog to dig out armadillos. Some people on here probably know who that is.

[Hogsnatchers]

Pretty sure whatever is being bayed is gonna be caught

   now my ol bulldog won't go messing with cows on his own , but if it's bayed up i'm pretty sure he would straight up catch it ,  whatever it is  lol . and this is the reason I use my cd's just like a pistol if I can't see it I ain't pullin the trigger . now if I here it grunting and fighting different deal I know it's a hog or a least a sick cow needing to be caught   lol

[cody l]

My bulldog's kinda dumb but she would catch whatever the dogs have bayed or die trying.
