nothing wrong with a running catch dog - but be very careful. expose them to livestock and make sure they're broke. even after you think they're broke, be careful.
you might have your pack to kill a mini horse and cost you $1200. my rcd was raised in a horse pen. his kennel was literally inside the horse pen and never had a problem. he was turned out in the horse pen every day to exercise.
i dont let catch dogs run any more and prefer not to hunt with anyone who does. i've actually learned to enjoy the race as much, if not more, than catching the pig. you gotta learn to walk to the bay though. running dont help, the hog is probably gonna break at least a couple times anyway. you might as well save your energy. if you're new, you'll probably need to catch a hundred or so before you can learn to enjoy the race more than the catch. ive even learned to appreciate a good open mouth hound.
that's my take on rcd's. nothing at all wrong with them, but be damn careful!
good luck and welcome to the board
