Noah, if you're worried about the dog running with the curs after the hog breaks... strap a shock collar on it.
The two AB gyps I have would stick with one for miles... one of them over heated on me real bad summer before last and never fully recovered from it. Now if it's not caught within a hundred yards or so, a little bump with the Tri-Tronics and they're heading back to me.
That is a dang good idea Mike... I'm gonna try that
