Mike....i like what you are saying but i can do that take my main dog and go find and bay a pig ...but why take the risk of getting him hurt??? When i can run him and 2help dogs that will stop a runner and are very good dogs to take the hits and hold the pig till my cd gets there ..so i leave the woods with my strike dog unharmed...i see alot of people on here that loose really good dogs and 9/10 are gritty ...i prefer mine to not touch a hog that way i know i am not dropping a high dollar dog on the ground that is going to be ripped to shreads worst thing that happens is my "help" dogs get hurt but everyone hunts diffrent i think people that say theses help dogs are culls need to hunt with some people that use and utilize these dogs and prefer to have them to hunt with...and if you call your culls help dogs well heck send them my way!!!;-)
Just a question not wanting to stir any pot!
If your strike dog can find and hold the hogs long enough for help dog to get to them. Why do you need help dog?
