I agree Noah, I like a dog that drops low and side steps the charge and hits the ear with out all the impact. The dog has got to be able to spread its front legs and elbows wide and get its elbows down near the ground and come up for the ear. Long neck helps quit a bit (my Dogo has a 7" neck). I do not want any hesitation, I just want the dog to adjust its body to give it the best cleanest line to the ear and miss the head to head impact if possible.

 I do believe that a tight  full cut vest does impede the maneuverability of some catch dogs. It might not let them do much more than run straight in and hit. Do y'all think that is true or not?
