The key to the rcd which stands for running catch dog, which means the dog finds the hog and then catches it, is to use cut collars and vests and get to the dogs as fast as possible.  Most of the times you'll hear the grunt, squeal or fight.  In my opinion its the most efficient way to catch hogs especially runners.  The dog doesn't bay or bark so the hog doesn't get a chance to escape.  If you use more than one and they're use to hunting together then they'll just pile on.  Most people that haven't hunted much like this will always disagree.  Michelle mears kept a kennel full of these dogs and she wrote for boar hunter magazine.  Her dogs were dogo/catahoula, pit/leopard, foundation bmc, straight pit, and other crosses but they would all hunt deep and run to catch.  The lab/pit that I had made most other dogs look weak and stupid.  Be sure to break your dogs off stock(cows, horses, goats,etc) completely before going to the woods.  I made that mistake once and things got ugly.
