Lol,no Tibbs,not the short and fat little excuses for a bulldog,most of them are half pit,half yellow black mouth cur,they may only range from 40 to 60 pounds,but theyll lock on an ear and wont turn loose.And yep,ive seen an ole sow hog run off with one on each ear like ugly ear rings,but thats part of it.Some guys use other larger dogs,such as Dogo Arentino's or just big pits,but i like the half cur bulldog,because they can run 5 or 6 miles,and still have the stamina to catch and hold on...What i call a Leapord dog,is usually more than half Catahoula,and the rest one of the 4 or 5 cur breeds,especially YBMC's,and red curs,or Blue Laceys.The catahoula breed has been greatly watered down with non working dogs for awhile now,because alot of people breed for looks,instead of ability,ther are some great purebreds left,but for the most part theyre non working dogs.While Leapord dogs on the other hand,have no specific breeding,because the only people that breed them,are hog hunters,and cow hands,and they dont breed for looks,they breed for ability.So say your buddy has a fine Red cur,and you have a great Blue Lacy male,if you cross the two,youll get leapord dogs.The catahoula shows alot in most of them,with the speckles and spots,and the occasional glass eye.Like i said,go register on that hog hunting board,and ask for hunters in your area,i promise you youll find someone close...Yeah,the exotic thing isnt all its cracked up to be in my opinion.There are some places in the Hill Country,where you can shoot stuff like that that escaped and started breeding,free range.Especially Axis,and Black buck.
