Never used a straight vest-up, lead-in type catch dog. Never really would have matched up with the dogs we used to run. Have hunted with a couple of groups of hunters that did use them and will say that if I'm walking into a hog caught in a bad spot or I'm alone on a big place, I would feel much better about my situation with something like a Pit or AB bulldog or Dogo, or Pogo, or Bogo or Mal, or whatever the hell the next "Super Catch Dog" will be, than just straight curs. Have seen curs and cur crosses stop some big Wooly Bullys plenty of times but you cant deny, those dogs are bred to find, run, and bay.  Yes there were thousands and thousands of hogs caught before catchdogs and yes bull dogs are EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE to picking up bad habits. But a cur dog's mind and a pit's mind work different. Guess what I mean is I never had any use for a catch dog but sure not going to bash their purpose. Im sure there's some Damn fine strike dogs that are still alive today because some big blocky headed bag of quick-crete with legs did its job.
