Well...I like the ability to "sit one down".... Working on that in my yard.
Hell....you got that you don't need bottom
Just wondering but how are you workin on that in your yard? I've never hunted behind a dog that makes a running hog sit down. Just dogs that stay with one until it decides to stop.
Trying to breed in A LOT of nut grabbing without being rough catchy...it ain't easy but its a goal.
A runner is a runner and no...you can't do much about that if he starts running before the first bark or before help comes in the form of another dog or two....you just gotta hope he stops and your dogs aren't to far behind.
When I talk about "sitting one down" I'm talking about a hog that is initially bayed by at least a couple dogs. I WANT dogs that will spin that hog...make him sit on his nuts to protect them. If he's busy protecting his nuts he HOPEFULLY won't have a chance to break and run......a chance to BE a runner. That's what I'm striving for anyway.
Ohh I gotcha.. You r trying to breed some bay busters:) the way I see it if a hog is bayed putting pressure on it is a sure fire way to get it to run. Just my opinion for what it is worth.
That was my thoughts too.
