To be honest, I don’t know if it’s hereditary in the dogs or taught. I’m not sure how you would teach a dog to ear hold…..I have enough trouble teaching them to retrieve! LOL !

Deerhunter1 771 Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 For what it’s worth & just my opinion, I think technique on deer is definitely genetic. If you breed from 2 dogs that are natural throat dogs then it’s fairly likely that’s the style the pups will have, and the same applies if you breed from 2 arse grabbers. I’ve heard a lot of people saying about pulling dogs off the back end and putting them on the throat but I think that’s nonsense. 2 Quote Link to post
joe ox 2,574 Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 Ear hold, my opinion for what its worth. Pigs have only two places a dog can keep a good hold the ear and the lower leg ie hock hoof area. Lower leg hold the dog will take serious damage so its a no brainer which hold they will go for. 2 Quote Link to post

Back when it was legal, Back of the neck and then the dog just sits down and holds it, Lower leg and it will come back over itself and lock onto the dogs face causing nasty wounds. The Back of the neck is not always possible, given they fight mainly on there backs so the ear gives the dog relative safety, Quote Link to post

A think when starting a dog off if he keeps grabbing arse end taking them off and putting them on throat helps, but once they had few they need to work it out themselves and arse grabbers going to get towed if taking Roe upwards. 2 Quote Link to post

I have a couple of wild boar x tamworth pigs, the size of the males head and jaw is four times the size of any dog. They finish big knuckle bones easy that the half x bulls have give up on, scary jaw power Quote Link to post

I agree joe but sometimes those bigger critters just don't play ball then you find out what you do really own I have carried of the field experienced dogs that havent run for a good while after such a encounter it's alright catching them it's what happens after 3 Quote Link to post

It's those sorts that tell you what you have in your yard when it turns sour I have seen some good dogs on all teeth not fancy it when running along side a big critter that turns seen a few ruined after such a encounter 2 Quote Link to post
