What would your catch dog do?

[Easttex91]

I had my truck parked at my father in laws near his horses one time with a young dog an old dog and my pit in it they were fine for hours then that puppy got bored or something and started barking at the horses and the CD went nuts. Makes me think there's a big difference whether the other dogs are baying or not.

Glad to see some answers. It just had me thinking that when a catch dog knows his job is it to know to only catch pigs or know I'm suppose to catch what my owner sent me loose to. Like someone said you can't always see the bay. So next question is what do you do when you get there and it's not a hog. Not talking about the bay dogs what would you do to the catch dog. Break and walk away or break and punish? Seems it could be a hard decision because the bay dogs didn't do their job next you sent the cd to a bay that wasn't a hog but in a way the catch dog did his job.

It would be a caught something or other

That is why I trash break my CD's too. That way if I am with someone else's dogs and they trash I don't want to have to pay vet bills for a cow or have my dog get hurt. But my bay dogs tattle on other dogs trashing so I won't send my catch dog in if my bay dog is beside me. I have learned that I have on dog that will be for sure making sure I know she is not trashing. She will be getting my attention with that look that say, "it was not me so don't light me up." Now if she is baying I know it is a pig. I would like to think my catch dogs are just as trash broke but they have never been sent in on anything but a hog.

I will bet anyone that is willing to come down and hunt that says their cd wont catch a cow if they turn it loose to a bay...........i wouldnt want a cd that wouldnt catch what my dogs had bayed......i got a crisp 100$ bill to put on the table to anyone who accepts!

What they have bayed

A rank cow......not talkin chit, just saying....straightup i have 100$ that if the dogs have a cow bayed and you turn the cd loose it will catch the cow or die tryin........instincts will take over, not tryin to start an arguement on here.....just my honest opinion, i'd love to be proven wrong!

[Curcross1987]

I believe you my catch dog would probably not even need bay dogs he will catch anything I tell him to sick

[Reuben]

   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

x2...
if a cow is bayed solid and tight a bulldog is going to catch whatever the curs or hounds have bayed...I had one that was totally broke off of cows and I had him loose to empty out before I put him on the wheeler and my buddies new hog dog pack bayed a cow and my dog shot out like a bullet and he had a caught cow in no time...after that nothing could break him off of cows...he was game bred and he was a good representative of gameness...

I have seen a few more do the same but don't know if they were broke prior to catching a cow...

One night we were hunting down in south Arkansas near the white river and I had only been hog hunting a year or so and my garmain showed the dogs sitting down at a few hundred yards don't remember exactly and we shut off the wheeler got to a hundred yards and cut the bull dog loose and we all ran right behind him all the way. We heard him hit and the worst noise I have ever heard in my life I told the other guys it is a good one but I think I craped down both legs when I seen my bull dog hanging off a big boar black bears and my bay dogs trying to make him a Barr. He finally whopped every thing off and went up a tree. I'm glad because I really didn't want to tie him

As many bear as we are getting I am afraid this is gonna happen to me oneday. I sure hope that sucker goes up a tree.

Didnt read all the adds but i know wat my cd would do. He would try to catch watever the dogs have bayed because thats his job.

i was thinking the same thing. i had a bulldog once that would not fool with our horse for anything, i got a female over to breed him to and she started running the horse and so did he and they eventually caught it but it was just instinct for him, im pretty sure if anyone on here sent any kind of bulldog in a thicket with a cow bayed it would catch it, im sure some of the curr catch dogs might would come back but i wouldnt own a bulldog that wouldnt catch whatever was bayed. were starting to have a few bear show up around here im just waiting on the day to get one of them bayed and send in 2 bulldogs i know thats not gonna be anything pretty.

[Curcross1987]

I have bayed 5 bears now all of them but the first one went straight up a tree after the third one I quit turning the bulldog loose until I seen what it was

If you wasn't so far I have a bulldog that is fixing to get culled that some people on here call a catch dog that won't catch anything

Lol, you know what I mean, a real deal send from 500+ if need be cd!

I hope everyone understands what im gettin at, i mean no disrespect to anyone, i just truely believe that any bulldog worth feedin will catch a cow as quick as it will a hog, its just instinct to a bulldog, thats all im sayin.

[GET.LOW.CURS]

Like what is said earlier a catch dog is called a catch dog for a reason.  If your curs give him a reason to catch something else then it sounds more like a cur dog problem.  I want mine to catch anything I send him in on and not hesitate

[Caseydejohn]

Justin, you got a good rank woods cow to try this on? I don't think mine bull dog gyp will catch a cow but if she does it'll be worth a hundred bucks to see a good wreck and it'll be fun getting her off!
