My catchdog gets all the sugars he want, I've seen what he can do to a hogs hide and I don't want him doing that to me.
As far as who do I value more? That's way easy. An actual good hog dog is relatively hard to come by, whereas I can get about any pit to catch a hog long enough to talk the curs into jumping in and helping. Some people act like getting a pit to catch is a rare deal, when in my opinion getting one that meets certain standards is the hard deal, just talking one into catchin has always been fairly simple. Maybe it's a regional thing though. My old neighbors raised those real overweight short legged blue dogs and we never had trouble getting one of them to bite and hold, not saying they would make a woods catchdog, but in a pinch You could make do with one of them fatties, given you've got curs and a human who will be on his tail.
