Catchdog Etiquette

one thing for sure... "GOOD"catch dogs are not a dime a dozen...I haven't had many because they take up my limited space but they are nice to have...If I had a large place I would keep 3 or 4 just to breed good reliable catch dogs for personal use.

for years I did not use a catch dog because my curs stopped and kept the bad hogs bayed and caught when I told them to catch and they learned to catch when I showed up. After a few times of getting my dogs cut down and seeing the hog walk off made me have to decide if I wanted another catch dog. I finally decided that carrying a pistol was easier to pack around and then I taught my dogs to back up if it was a bad hog and I would just shoot it. That was the best method for me and still my favorite. If the hog was not real bad it was caught before I got there but it kept crippling injuries to a minimum.

Right now I am forming a pack and was thinking catch dog style again but am leaning back to the gritty curs and will eliminate the catch dog from the equation once the pack is where it needs to be.
