how many dogs

1-2 strike dogs. 2-3 bulldogs.

We have found running less strike dogs is mich better. Everyone on here talks about runners and theycanever stop them, well most of te time its because they have have 8 dogs on the ground and one dog strikes the hog and then 7 others show up amd pit to much pressure on the hog which makes him run. If you have 1 or 2 jam up strike dogs they will hold and stop any hog. Most of they time with 1 or 2 strikw dogs the hog wont run at all because it doesnt feel pressured. They just sitt there and look at the dog barking at them. Then you have 2-3 good shut doen bulldogs ad you let them all go at the same time that way they all get there about the same time and and shut the hog down. Rather than havein 25 dogs in te ground and dogs tryin to bite and cstch the hog amd push him to run. Find em. Hold em. Shut em down. Works great for us and tjere is rarely a "runner".
