No matter what kind of dog you run, RCD or loose baying, you will never catch them all. RCD's are great but if the hog gets a jump in thick cover, he will never get his mouth on a hog. Same with a loose baying dog, if it breaks it is gone & that is where you need speed & bottom  Most of my dogs are on the catchy side but I try to pair them up where they will bay a big hog & I can turn a catchdog loose to catch the hog but all to often, especially if I have friends along, we will have 3 or 4 dogs out & they will catch anything. Everybody knows there is that fine line, that when a dog first locates a hog, the hog can break as soon as the dog finds it or it will bay. If catch dogs cant get a mouth flu it is off to the races & the same with loose baying dogs.
  Even with speed & bottom, you will never catch them all. So until we breed up the perfect dog, we will still have runners that will get away.jmo
