did you start useing a diffrent collar or vest on her when she changed? ive seen a dog feel restricted and so thy catch to keep themselves tucked in close

dont no anything to help ya but send her to florida ;)

I have seen dogs just get rougher with age and have also seen them go from rough to loose with age

Nothing you can do about it but hunt her or sale her to someone that like rough dogs

Some plotts are rough and with 1/4 bulldog. Probably why she is getting rough...most dogs that are rough stay that way...

I never did use a cut collar or anything like that on her until she started catching now I run her w a light vest and collar .she is 35 lbs fast as hell and it don't matter how big or bad she will be caught every time

I though about putting her in a pen w a big hog and a shock collar and every time she went to catch give her a zap but I'm worried she will think I don't want her to mess w hogs at all . Idk

each hog my mt curr gets on she gets just a little bit rougher with dont have a explanation why but thats how she is... did u run her with some rougher dogs or anything that maybe she couldve picked it up from

Cut her canines off and put her on a bad one, stop running a vest on her.  She will quit catching.

you can put a muzzle on her and cut the cutters on a 200 pound boar and let her have at it...she will respect a hog for a while...but she will probably catch with a catchy dog...

filing cabinets down will work

Canines lol

I guess I missed something, SetexHogDoggin, could you please explain, your response?

as you said file down their canines. They can't hold on to catch

introduce her to a RUGER

Take her to the vet and have him grind her k9 s down a lot of time it will make them back up because they realize they can't hold on

gonna try this first BC she is gonna just end up dead if she don't change

She get cut bad?

Tough one

this is my opinion...if you don't want a gritty dog then sell her to someone who runs gritty dogs and if you don't mind running a gritty dog then get her a good running vest...

X 1000 Reuben well said

if you file her k-9s and she still wants to catch them she will loose hogs because she cant get a solid hold. bad idea in my opinion. 

maybe so. Cousins dogs are filed from previous owner and they don't try to catch no more they are loose. Use to be rough. Really can't change the way a dog is

Got a bulldog and seen others without canines and they can still hold a hog. I don't think the canine grinding works myself but what do I know.

this will not work.

A lot of different opinions but nothing is guaranteed to stop a dog from catching, especially a half plot with 1/4 (like someone else mentioned).  I've been at this hog hunting for over 10 years now and here is what I would do. 

Enjoy the dog for what she is and hunt the heck out of her, or give/sell her to someone that is looking for that type of dog who will hunt the heck out of her.

that's exactly what I did I didn't want to part w her BC she is a real good lil dog ......so I bought her a running vest and its been torn to hell but shes not dead yet so its been working so far .just thought someone may have ran into this situation and over came it .in the last 15 yes it seems as though my dogs have been leaning toward the catchy side of hog dogs IdK why it just the way is been lately

Hogdogger98 you're full of crap it will work because I've seen it with my own eyes and I don't lie

Ok well I've seen dogs that had there K9's broke out and they still catch. So who's opinion is right?

Mark. Have u hunted her by herself?  Those black hammers are tough.

it may work it may not it all deepens on how the dog is just because one does doent mean they all will!

I fall in the camp of get some rough dogs to go with her or sell her to someone that runs catchy dogs. Myself I'm glad folks don't like catchy dogs. That means I get more to choose from when y'all don't like them. Heck I'm crazy I like them dogs that sing em a song before they sink teeth in their rear. Lol

And i run a 4 yr old cur that has none left they are ground completely flat and he still is rough as they come doesnt work seen it with my own eyes.  

I have 2 catahoulas that just turned 7 years old and they had their canines filed when they were young dogs and they have learned over the years to back up and bay!! Now they are semi-loose baying and won't catch! Takes a while for a dog to figure out that they can't hold a big hog but when they do they will back up it just may take a while!

Just depends on the dog I guess!!

x2...my opinion...we tend to see things differently and sometimes it has to do with how we think and our experience level but that is what makes the world go round...

Some dogs start out gritty and if they get lucky and live long enough they get smarter with age and learn how far to push their grit they back off accordingly and they live a long time...others don't back off much and will eventually not make it or they will have to learn to hunt in a vest...I don't think it has to do with filing the teeth back...a good example is a bull dog that loses it's canines and he will continue doing his job without them...just not as effective as before but some can still do a fair job without them...

just a few times mike but honestly prob not enough to see a difference

I agree w the bd  thing I just got rid of one w Broken k9 he still caught just as he did when he had k9 so I believe it all deep on the dog
