catch

NO DOG OR HUMAN agrression whatsoever. you don't want your bulldog tearing up your strike dogs, or worse yet, somebody elses. It's just not worth the risk. I like pits and american bulldogs, either will do the job. you don't have to buy the first one you see, there are enough around that you can shop around some. I reccommend asking the guy you buy from to take you on a hunt with the dog, no matter what it's job is, and let you see it catch before you buy. Take into consideration how the dog handles, how does he lead, does he whine or bark in the dog box, show signs of dog or human agression(automatic cull in my yard) does he catch how you want him to, can he be sent to a bay from the distance you prefer, after he catches does he calm down quickly or does he stay amped up for a while, how does the present owner remove him from the hog(called off, choked off, broke off with a breakstick) all are things to watch for. Is he normally led in close, turned out of the box, or run with the curs? will he ride an atv if that is what you want, and the number one thing, will he catch and hold a hog in a manner that you can trust until called or taken off the hog.
