After reeding other post I will add I run rough dogs with Kane. The rest will bay will get rough but when Kane sinks teeth they all pile on. A perfect example was Kane and my lady dog got on a boar hog while going to a bay. They caught the boar and we killed it then they went on to the bay. The dogs at the bay were catchy dogs but this big Barr had them backed up. When Kane got to them he caught and that dude was stretched in no time. I don't like running Kane one out and if possible I don't do it. That doesn't mean tho that he don't get split up from the rest. He also actively hunts and very often is the lead dog when just searching. My other dogs do pick up a lil older track than him but he can wind as good as any of them.

To me these dogs that just run along side of wheeler are catch dogs without a leash. Why not load them up and send them when u hear a bay instead of letting them run along side getting tired. A guy I hunt with has a pit that rides loose on the box. If the dogs bay he tells him to go to them and he's gone. 400 yards 200yards 600 don't matter if he can hear them he is gone. If the hog breaks before he gets to it he can and will follow until either he catches up or it stops to bay.then it's caught hog.
