Not to stir the pot here, but didn't you just say we need better curs and not a RCD?
Then you just said, "I want my CD to be a RCD."
Now you've got me confused??
no problem bud....what I mean by that is even though I use my rcd (dogo) as a lead in cd, I want my cd to have the speed/lungs and versatility of a rcd for when its needed in a situation. Despite me not using a rcd as there intended for on every hunt there are times and situations when its good to have one. I think speed and lungs are a favorable quality in any catch dog and give them an advantage. So even though I dont use it to shut down runners (my curs do that) I still think it makes the dog a better catch dog overall with more advantages and versatility than a block headed short cd that gets winded quickly and is slow. As I said earlier any rcd can be a lead in cd but not vise versa!
For example about 2 mo. back we cut the cd into a bay it broke when it saw the dog coming and they ended up catching him a few hundred yards away but it was so thick it took us close to an hour to get there, my dogo was caught and doing o.k, a regular lead in cd would have had a heat stroke so I was glad I had an RCD despite not using him as one on a regular basis.
fair enough! I was just pulling your chain a little bit.
