My Female:
1 yr, 10 months. Has very little working time, but will grab a hog. As of right now, she needs to be shown the bay before being released, gets sidetracked easily. Has no manners at all, she whines a lot. Working on the manners and training.
My Male:
He is much leggier than my female, gets to a bay quicker. Not a lot of working time either, but so far has grabbed and held, except for very initial training. So far, he can be let loose from a short distance and will go to bay without seeing it. I havent tried releasing at a long distance yet, but I'm pretty sure he would go straight to bay at a long distance as well, will have to try. Has some manners, but stays "noisy" after the catch and will yip at hog if he sees it, working on the manners.
Like me, both are just starting, and we are learning as we go. Thanks to everybody here for the helpful material that you all provide on a daily basis. This site has been a great source for material, and good people who go out of their way to help, thanks to everybody!
