The long range catch dog

Judge I've had 1 out and 1 3/4 pit 1/4 corso. Both I have hunted the same way as I hunt my big dogs. If they caught their own pig, usually they were caught on the pigs terms well beyond where they found the pig. This was one reason they were not practical for hunting like I do. They were not near as effecient. Their lacking efficiency was the reason for their longer than needed hold times. My big fast dog would be caught on a good pig close to where the pigs were found. The pit type dogs would usually be caught much further off if they were perusing their own pigs. Second was they had the heart like you say but they lacked the controle that my other dogs had over same size pigs. These two dogs were time bombs in my opinion. Neither got hurt much hunting this way though but they were at a higher risk of injury and heat stroke and drowning than my other dogs. Rarely could these type dogs catch on their terms. You might be in for a quick run and tie on the big dogs pig but then you have a 800 yard further run, across a creek, across a fence, deep in a thicket or in a water hole somewhere. Totally self induced and allowed by the dog.
