I think this topic is mainly focused on lead in catch dogs, which we don’t run. I know many people on here hunt with just a few bay dogs and a lead in but we hunt simply to rid farmers of pig problems. So with that being the goal we try to get them and shut em down hard. Typically have at least 6-7 dogs on the ground and most everything catches. Usually have 2-3 pits in the mix. There’s one little pit named trouble that’s only 25lbs. He was the runt of the litter with parents being 60ish lbs. This little dog has more heart than any dog I’ve ever seen. He’s the kind of dog that will hold on while standing in his own guts. He’s fast through the woods and catches on the nose every time. He’ll find his own pigs if they’re close but he’s a RCD for the most part. One time we hit a sounder with mostly young dogs, and all the dogs split up trying to go after their own pig. Heard a squeal and ran over to find him hanging on the nose of a 275lb boar getting tossed all over the place but he just wouldn’t let go, lol.
He’s the little brown dog on the right side of the picture. He’s between 3 and 4 years old now
