RCD ?S

the only catch dog i had a for 3 years was a rcd, he was 3/4 pit, and 1/4 brindle cur, weight about 65lbs, he was fast, smart, and had a very good handle. He had found hogs for me many times. if he saw a hog, u might as well get your muletape ready, he was going to catch it. i liked the rcd, mainly because my dogs aren't long range dogs, and when they bayed he was going to catch, i think it ended alot of them running hogs. i tried to lead him in a few times and i noticed that it would take longier to get the hog stoped. now if u had long range dogs, i think having a rcd could be a little more dangerous, due to the fact of it taking u so long to get to the bay, who knows how long the catch dog is there caught before u get there. that's what i have experienced from a rcd. i also think it takes a smartier more obidient dog to be a rcd dog, compared to a lead in catch dog
