Opinions wanted - On catchdogs performance

Everyone, thanks for the opinions. This has been a very interesting read.

In about a month he should be ready to give it a go again so we'll see what happens. Someone asked if I would be 100% confident going behind him again and my answer would be 100%. The only reason I still have complete confidence in him is I'm almost positive he never got the ear when he was first cut. It was a hit, split second scuffle and then whining. In my hard head, getting smashed and having your back leg dang near half way severed by a big boar (that had obviously been dogged before judging by his torn up ears) and acknowledging the pain is different than catching and letting go because of pain. When he went back in on this hog it cut thru his vest and gave him a 3" rip on his shoulder. He never reacted to that cut/poke and was the last dog to come off the hog. Had he been caught and let go my confidence would be shot.
