I don't  have what most refer to on here as RCD's.       What I have (most of what I have) are finder holders.   They don't bark or hhesitate to catch.    Their is no bay dog blood in their lineage only breeds of dogs in their background that are hardwired as straight catch.          It is my opinion that is why Dogos are largely so iffy and not consistent as a whole as solid catch dogs.   Their breed is comprised of a few different dogs that are not catch dogs. However, lot of them are great catch dogs but many are not.     From what I've read on them, they were developed to hunt in the same similar style I hunt my dogs though.
    The finder holders I hunt with work very well as duel purpose dogs.   Hunt the woods, brush, rough terrain etc as finder holders and they also can be run as stags when doing crop work.   My stag is faster than my finder holder dogs but not by much.    They are fast enough that they work very well when paired with a stag running accross fields because they are right there to cut the corner when the animal cuts on the lead stag and make the catch just the same as the second stag will do.     Got to be fast enough to be in position to cut that corner when the lead stag causes the animal to cut to the left or right in order for the second dog to be effective.     I'd venture to say  most Dogos or mastiffs or other type dogs would not be fast enough to capitalize on the way a stag operates.  The stag in that case will normally catch the pig itself  or  cut the pig so many times the other dog can catch up and assist.           My finder holders essentially nullifie the need for stags to do crop work because of their speed.         If the woods surrounding the fields are still your permission,  the hunt ain't necessarily over with finder holders once you have caught a couple pigs in the field and the others have vacated the field.     Get the dogs in the woods and let them start hunting with their nose and catch yourself another.
