I prefer a good dog and won't hunt a sorry one. You can catch hogs effectively with whatever style floats your boat, but if you got a bunch of POS "help dogs" on the ground, you need to "help" yourself by figuring out who's contributing to your pack and who's suckin up free food.
And then feed them "help dogs" a lead pill....dont go sellin em!!! Lol
Im the same as you, i like a good dog. loose, rough or catch, that doesnt matter much to me, just put a hog on the table. im happy with catchin pork!
Guess for me its more of "the end" than it is "the means to an end"......if that makes sense hahaha
