Guess I'm an odd ball... I'd rather my strike dogs NOT catch with the catch dogs... Either get gone or just stay back... That's what the catch dogs are for... Of course not all of them do it, but I guarantee when I get there they better get off or get a boot...
Now if you have help dogs I guess they need something to do....
Nope, I'm with you. My damn Hunter dog just spent a week at the vet from getting a piece of his upper jaw shattered from a tusk going thru the side of his head. Let the bulldogs dogs do the catching and the bay dogs go on a huntin'.
Unfortunately, it doesn't always work like that, but when I grab the hog and tell them to get out, they better listen. I don't tolerate much rude behavior.
I'm with both of you!
