Running Catch Dogs (How Many Have)

I used to use my male and female ab's as a pair of running catch dogs and had good luck finding hogs with them. The only problem with using bulldogs as running catch dogs is that they are incredibly short range and won't find as many hogs as a good cur. I also ran into a problem with my male exhausting all of his energy after the first hog or two and not having the stamina to catch as solid. My female on the other hand is a freak and can run all day and catch multiple hogs and never even show a sign of tiring. I have gone to using a mix of rcd's and cur's. My female is always used as a rcd and it works great in tandem with a bulldog on a lead and two or three curs. Jmo, running catch dogs alone are good if they have the stamina to be solid the whole hunt but I think you will find more hogs with a couple of good, and I stress GOOD, curs in the mix. It also doesn't hurt to have a few open mouths on a catch so you can hear when the hog is caught.
