I use to have that problem till I went to ruff dogs and I mean ruff and ones that stick.  I got tired of all the 5 mile runs and come up empty handed .  Noting wrong with a loose dog if he can get the hog stopped but I didnt have much luck with them on big bad boars that were already educated.  These dogs of mine all wear catch vest and heavy duty bay vest for a reason and it has saved them many many times , yes I sew up dogs still but not near as much before I started running all vest .  We catch and leg hogs on a regular basis 275 lbs and most the time no problem with no catch dogs .  Yes I have lost three dogs in three years but I dont go on near as many long runs no more and thats what made a beleiver out of me in Vest .  When this pack is together  and healthy no many get away anymore.  I run four dogs in a pack most the time Cj , War Dog both brindle leopard curs silent  and a bitch I call Blu who is Leopard cur/Bmc  and silent  and a dog I call Mississippi who is full blooded plott and almost silent on track and every now I throw in a Blue Lacy called Bell A ball grabber if I want to run five  , when they are together its  a pretty thing to watch .

This years been a hard year all have been cut pretty badly and the pack has been one less here and there sometimes two and then we have had to deal with all this heat so its been a ruff year caught lots of hogs but not near as many as we usally do.

CRAP DOGS EDUCATING  RUNNING HOGS ARE PEOPLE USING THE WRONG KIND OF DOGS ON BIG BAD HOGS  AND WONT CHANGE ,  WOULD BE MY GUESS .

THERE IS A FEW AROUND HERE THAT RUN ANY KIND OF DOGS THEY CAN GET THERE HANDS ON IF HE BARKS AT A HOG IN THERE EYES HE IS A HOG DOG!
