years back that was a common cross here in my area of california. i saw some act like a hound, some like a bulldog and some showed nose and grit both.

My buddy had a pit/redbone cross years ago that was a damn good dog. Not rough at all... find and bay hogs. He looked just like a brindle cur dog and was silent until bayed.

Ive seen the bird/bull ones done.
I am assuming you want the nose and hunt of the hound dog and the catching ability of the bulldog. If this is the case I would just make sure whatever hound you cross with the bulldog is already as rough as you can find. That way you don't end up with a dog like Mike wrote about, though from the sound of it he made a dog.

It would probably depend more on the individuals you were planning on crossing, I.e how the parents hunted, if the hound was gritty, and so on.

With so many different variables coming in from both sides I wouldn't think you'd get a whole litter of uniform dogs, seems like some would lean toward one parent or the other and a few might be a good combo of them both...

I have been around the old time gritty mt curs and they tend to have lots of hunt and nose good enough to find and catch hogs...back before the Garmin it was hard keeping them alive...hunt too far and no bark...heat exhaustion would get them when one on one with a big boar...my take on them...
Seen redbone...walker...plott crossed as well...some were really good dogs...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

that is to be expected...especially with 2 breeds that are totally different from one another...I have seen a few that don't have either parents strong qualities...no catch and no hunt...but the right pup can be awesome... |

Ive heard stories from oldtimers out here about redbone x pits that they swore by, said they were the best hog dogs ever and they were straight catch, but didn't always live long
