Thats not really what Im getting at. I expect the same out of a stike dog as a catch dogs. You get a free pass... maybe two when you are young but after that its time to get right. If they can't tell the difference between a hog and a cow... even if the dogs are baying... they are not staying in my kennels. Too much of a liability.
I gotcha, well I'll throw a "what if" scenario out there...........I know quite a few guys on this site and a few that aren't on this site that use their dogs both ways, on hogs and cattle....a few of I know hog hunt on the exact same property that they work cattle on, just last week one of my good friends caught 9 hogs with his dogs while he was looking for 7 yearlin cattle on 1800 acres.............im not askin for a response lol just throwin out different scenarios and different backgrounds on dogs.......to me or you a dog that wont leave cattle alone may be a cull but to those men, a dog that WONT bay cattle might be a cull.......it's all about the individual needs/wants that we have for our dogs and I know there are numerous different opinions on what we think are good and bad traits in our dogs ......theres 100's if not 1000's of different things that can happen every time we enter the woods............I believe I would probly crap my pants if I went in to a bay and my dogs had a dang bear bayed up lol!
No doubt. Im not even debating one is better than the other or any thing like that.... just saying they do exist.
Im probly just over analyzing it. I do agree with you, i know they exist, i know of 1 thats 1000000% broke, she is the smartest bulldog ive ever seen, she is a buddy of mines dog that my "iceman" pup came out of and she listens to him as good if not better than a solid bird dog, she is great to hunt with. I think the majority would catch a cow if given the chance, just my .02 and nothin more.
