Just my luck

There is quite a bit of variance in how rough these dogs are, some have almost no bite some are what I'd call too rough, most are in the middle some where and really want stock to stand and work hard to make that happen. Rarely will two of these dogs catch and hold. Generally penning cattle I can gather a set and not put a tooth in a cow "unless something runs off" then if it doesn't come right back I go with them because they will catch it over there somewhere and if there are 3 or 4 on the ground they are not gonna back up and bark. I use shock collars on the young dogs and if one snatches and grabs around a bunch that are not running off I let them know that is a no no.
On hogs the general behavior is they will bay a hog that will stand unless you have too many loose "too many depending on the individuals" if there are too many on the ground they will catch, There is a small percentage of them that are pretty catchy with or without help. Quite a few of these dogs have a pretty good nose and lots of bottom, and will get out of the country on you in that sort of circumstance.
From what I know about most of the Florida dogs they are typically rougher or more catchy with fewer dogs loose than this bunch of dogs. These dogs are a little different style with lots of lead in them, and less circle than the Florida dogs. That's about the best I can do to explain.
