Rough Dogs ?

To me a rough bay dog will catch a small hog or sow but will only put teeth on a big hog until it stops to bay, then will back up and bay. If the hogs breaks, the rough bay dog will do what it takes to stop him. He may even take ahold but if he gets slung off will back up and bay.
If the dog catches any hog when he gets there, then to me thats a running catch dog, not a rough bay dog...
Then you have the "Sprint" bay dogs...the long distance bayers that won't get close to a hog or put teeth on one to stop it.
I have seen all types produce hogs in the woods, just depends on where and how you hunt.

For me though, if a dog won't put teeth on a hog to stop it, or catch a hog less than 100 lbs by itself, it won't stay here.....
