What do ya'll know about this breed?

Some things I have read have said they are excellent catch dogs, and since I have a "rare" opportunitie to buy one i thought i'd ask you folks. He'd also end up being trained as a guard dog as well as hogs, so just incase i dont get heavily into hog he has other purposes.

I have never owned one but heard they are a BEAST!!

I have also heard they will be quick to kill anything. A hog, your best strike dog or what ever else suits their fancy.

A Lady wanted me to train one to catch for her but said it couldnt be around other dogs because it would kill them. I told her to keep it!

They may not all be this way but I would be leary going into a deal with them.

THey are normally very $$$$. I never figured the cost was worth the risk.

they aren't any more dog aggressive than pits. the scariest catchdog i've ever seen was a presa named Oso. you might be able to get video of him from Jay Dorsey. the dog hit hogs so hard it made me wince to see it. but very few are worked at anything & most that are worked are used for man work. when Oso passed on Matt got another presa & it was a dud as a catchdog. so it's a gamble.
