Break sticks are considered a needed tool over here running hogs. Nothing fancy. Just a shaved down piece of plastic really.

On the original topic, what would anyone hope to gain by crossing in dogo? GOOD working dogos aren't all that easy to find here where a lot of people are actively hunting them and trying to breed good dogs. Wouldn't it be next to impossible to find proven stock where ya'll are? I'm not trying to be an @ss. I'm really asking because I am totally ignorant of your situation.

I am not a hog hunter but most of the for real deal hog hunters will agree with that statement and so would machine up above.
Yes I would agree that statement is pretty much true. At least where I live. In other countires and locales in the US people may prefer other dogs for catch dogs. But the most common type of catch dog here is a pit. And those that hunt with a pit use them as a lead in catch dog. Other types of catch dogs ARE used but it comes down to what's effective for that person's style of hunting, habits of the pigs in the area, terrain, and really what that person likes.
My hunting buddy uses only dogos. Because that's what he LIKES. He used to have a jam up pit as well... just decided he wanted to concentrate on dogos and sold the pit. He uses the dogos as running catch dogs. Suits his style. Suits his terrain.
Curs are generally used for strike and bay dogs. Though some people here and in different parts of the country use hounds. An even smaller number use jagdterriers.

As a pig dog,there`s a lot better than the APBT.The Argentinians bred the dogos to make the ultimate BIG GAME hunting dog.Bull terriers were around for them at that time,but were deemed inadequate(too small).The Australians NQ Bullhound was bred from EBT,American bulldog and Great Dane,again APBT deemed as inadequate.The Texans use American Bulldogs and Dogos for pig hunting.Fact.....the APBT is a small(but game dog) that is not as a lot on here believe a jack of all trades.
How many "Texans" do you know? I know quite a few of them who catch quite a few hogs and I aint never heard them tell of a dogo nor an "American" bulldog, whatever the f**k that's supposed to be.
Well here's a Texan that just hunted with dogos last week. 4 dogos were wrecked and my male jagdterrier killed on different nights. So believe me there are plenty of dogos and different dogs down here. Plenty of American ulldogs too. Come down and have a hunt with us sometime. See for yourself. You'll see pits, dogos, American bulldogs, and a sh*t ton of crosses. Catahoula x dogo and AB x dogo crosses are becoming popular. Some guys in the plains and out further west are starting to use stags. See some ridgeback and ridgeback crosses here and there. Guys use different dogs to suit their terrain and style. The pigs are always evolving and becoming tougher prey. So people are continually trying to adapt their hunting methods and dogs to them. Back here in East Texas the pit is still king though. A good pit lead in catch dog is easier and cheaper to find then anything else.

i recon a pit could hold a boar
Of course he could mate..the ozzies stop em with smaller dogs...the pits trouble is though,he doesnt want to stop it..he wants to annialate it...thats the difference between a dogo and a pit..the dogo will happily hold till the owner makes the kill..the pit wants to make that kill all by himself lol
This is entirely untrue. I've hunted with dogo, AB, and pit catch dogs. And crosses of all sorts. Pit bulls are THE most common catch dog. A good pit will catch on and hold solid. But they have little lung and are usually used as lead in catch dogs.

Moonshine, marrying your cousin and mullets
:laugh:Ah, I see you've been to West Virginia! To be honest, I have kin in the North that are more backwoods hillbilly than any Southern redneck. I was just visiting them this Summer... banjos, 3 different kinds of shine, bluegrass music... a few extra chromosomes here and there. Good times.

SO LETS HEAR IT WHATS THE DEEPEST YOU HAVE DUG, & HOW LONG DID IT TAKE. & IF YOU CARE TO MENTION WHAT TYPE OF GAME WAS DUG.
We know what you mean fella, but it boils our piss when you Yanks call us all English. It's like you being a proud Texan and all us guys calling you a New Yorker...

I use my jagdterriers for rough hunting all sorts of furred and feathered game.

thanks lads will order of there been a great help
I don't knoow if they ship international. If not, maybe we can find something else for you. I'm not very knowledeable about running a trap line. I've ordered a few supplies from F&T and their customer service has been great. Maybe someone else has a better source for what you need.

The boys will get into it eventually! Rats are creepy critters. I'd rather tussle with a hog than a rat. They give me the willies.

Hi looking for a garmin dog tracker, anyone know what amodel to go for and where are they cheapest to buy? thanks
BEEN LOOKING IN TO THEM ME SELF BUT DONT KNOW IF THE WILL WORK OVER HERE /THERES A COUPLE OF SITES BUT USA
Should work anywhere. You just have to get a SD card for your specific area if you want road, stream, trail, elevation, etc detail. I've been using the Astro 220 and DC30 collars for years now. I have 1 DC40 but don't have enough time in the field with that collar to pass judgement on it yet. I have not handled the new 320 unit yet, but I can't see any superbly cool features in it that would make me want to upgrade and shell out more money at this point.

I guess being a sissy is genetic. Me and my two older sons took our pup sniper out this morning and I had them blocking holes once he went in. He flushed rats out on several holes and once the boys realized something was trying to come out of the holes they were running faster than the rats! Ha ha ha, it reminds me of myself when confronted with game if im at a disadvantage or not ready for it Im a big chicken. But in all we got out before it got too hot and the young dog did great 3 rats and an armadillo, lots of fun and hard laughs!
Where in Texas are ya, bubba?

Breaking stick's
in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Posted
Lack of training? Maybe. Maybe we do things differently then you. Look sir, the last thing you want a catch dog doing is letting go of a hog while you're trying to tie it, flip it, or otherwise hold it down. You don't want that dog letting go under any circumstances or you'll likely end up getting cut badly. Everybody I know uses break sticks for their catch dogs. Men that have been in this game their whole lives and are far older than me use break sticks. I learn from from the. Guess we aren't proper dog men. But we do catch hogs.
