a GOOD pack of ruff dogs should catch the pig not kill or destroy it . imo that pack is outta control . ruff dogs may kill baby pigs and a few shoats but geeeez now i'll go back and read all the post

letting dogs catch wen ur not close is how dogs get killed,ideal for me is to b 15 to 20 feet from hog wen i send catch dog.i like to b rite behind the bulldog to get controll of the hog to help keep my dogs from getting cut..my dogs r not ruff but will catch if other dogs get to ruff.i like mild bay dogs,ill do the catching if they do there part.its alot easier to get a catch dog than a good find dog.using rcd is a dasaster wating to happen,thats just me.

2 rough dogs and a catchdog big enough to handle any pig would be my ideal. If they split, I expect the cur to hold that bay until the catchdog comes. However long that takes.

most people run to many dogs and they put to much pressure on the hogs.dont know why n e body would lead a bulldog wen there so easy to train to follow u,i never lead one to much work.
coud'nt agree more . mr garmin has made it very easy to have an idea what your dogs are doing .just because when you get to the pig your dog is having a chew dos'nt mean its a good dog |

If my bulldog is caught and holds the hog long enough for me to get there then in my mind they did their job! I do agree that just because a cur dog is caught or chewing on a hog with the bulldog then that doesnt necessarily make them good dogs. |

I run gritty dogs, to the extreme that one dog will bay a bad one, send him one more cur and its a caught hog (or tore up dogs from tryin). If i run more than that they will try to catch any and everything. Id definately try cuttin back on the number of dogs on the ground.
