R u saying u dont have injury down time with ur dogs?
Yes, I have very little injury down time with my holding dogs. That is normal and expected from a finder holder type dog. Hold clean, hold smart.
Just because it makes some folks mad, don't make it a lie. I can't speak for silver tons dogs but I'll say that the red nose pit catchdog I gave away a month or so back had around 200 catches under her belt and a lot on real good hogs. She never had a single injury from a hog. Only cuts she ever got were from thorns.
If you expect excellence, you will at least get "pretty darn good"
I think more people should demand excellence from their bay dogs as well.
