Rough dogs

I will take two loose baying dogs over a pack of rough dogs any day. I don't mind a dog getting rough until the hog is stopped, but then I want him to back up and bay. I have had dogs that were as rough as they come (not on purpose, they just happened to be that way) and they are all in the graveyard. Nothing disturbs me more than having a good bay going then ole' alligator mouth comes in and "tries" the hog, and the race is on. Super rough dogs have broken more bays for me than they have created.

After a hunt I would rather sit on the tailgate looking at the hog and drinking a cold one rather than sewing up Butch and wondering if he is gonna make it through the four cuts and 10 punch holes in him.
