I agree with running two gritty strike dogs. (and these dogs normally wont catch anything bigger than 2-250) I like to have one good short range gritty looser help dog and two CDs (one smaller and fast with lots of bottom, and one bigger anchor). You never know what you are gona get on out there. You don't always need all the power, but it's good to have it. I deff would not put up with chewy dogs though. Gritty is one thing, but I want them to not chew, and head out after we get there and the hog is caught. It is always fun to let a good up and coming pup run with the pack too. But each piece if land may require a different kind of pack. Jmo
What do you mean by bottom in regards to a catch dog? Same term/ definition as bottom in a cur or hound?
I think he means one that will stick with the strike dogs if the hog breaks. Not always a good thing but have caught a bunch of runners thanks to my bulldog sticking in on the chase.
