Ok so to stay on track.............Finder/holder seems you are talking about finder/catcher. All my dogs are finder/holder (if that is the term you want to use) dogs, they find a hog and push it so hard it has to bay. They do this by either catching it out right on smaller hogs or by working it like stock dogs would work a rough cow, then if they know they are in danger back off and bay. Holding a hog does not mean they catch every hog, holding means they hold a hog at bay, in other words making one bay, not just follow it until it wants to bay. If it tries to break then they are on its ass like stink to make it bay again. To the point if a big boar breaks into the open they will tag that stinky end and make him squeal like a pig.

If you mean finder/catcher then your back to RCDs or one dog out............this is why everyone keeps going back to the one dog out thing.

Now as for the "lesson the cost of owning a business" comment......are you saying that those of us that use bay dogs are in business?

Finder/holder or finder/catcher is a new term to me for sure but I am not to proud to learn something new as long as it makes sense. Just not sure the finder/holder or finder/catcher terms makes sense, it just seems like an contridiction of words.
