Actually I like both types, if ive got a big place and dont have to go to work I want dogs that wont quit. If ive only got a few hrs to hunt or smaller place I want a dog that wont stick for days.
   But Reuben brings up a good point about how the dogs are handled, I think sometimes we might teach our dogs to have less bottom. Say you go to calling them in everytime they get so far out or so far behind a hog, the dogs learn to quit a bad runner and go find an easier one.
But you have different variables to consider, up here it might take couple hrs just to get to the dogs, so if they aint got enough bottom to stick, and stay bayed for hrs, you aint gonna see much pork.
    I can see both sides, and see how both types work better under certain circumstances.
   But my 1st choice is gritty, "not catchy" dogs that with alot of bottom.
But at the same time, I have seen dogs put on a red hot track, and loose the track, or have it blow up, more than once. My opinion is the dogs just over run the track out of excitement. But a good dog should be able to realize this and circle back and pick it back up, but dont always happen.
