Safer or the same -- catching and shooting over a bay?

well i can say that i only hunt with three dogs unless i am with buddies in a joint hunt! My ybmc a redbone dog and a strickly lead in catch dog! when either of my hunt dogs bay up the other is very quick to arrive! and they will not catch until my lead in arrives. once my lead in does his thing both dogs will assist eachother in holding that hog. when i get there i call caught hog and my two hunt ogs will release but that catch dog is there till i break him off with a break stick and most of the time its not till i have tied the hog and the i will break the catch dog. I have gotten very few injuries to the hunt dogs and i havent seen a hog hit my catch dogs body yet through his vest!! JMO again!!
