Ok so here is what I did. I took one, the younger pit, to the training area first. He went inside and I turned a bay dog loose on the outside. He went in and tried to make friends I guess, ran up and tried to sniff the hog, that lasted about 2 seconds, long enough for the hog to turn and put a whooping on him. Then the pit stepped back and started baying. I decided I would let the bay dog, half AB half cat, he went in and caught as he did then the pit went and caught. He got drug around a little and I pulled him off and took the bay dog out and turned the pit loose again. He went and caught this time on his own. I then put him back on his chain and let the hog rest.
Next came the big older dog, he looks like an AB and pit cross, tall and broad. Turned him in the pen with a different bay dog working the out side of the training area. He went right to the pig and latched on an ear. It was a weird catch though, he didnt rush right in and hit the hog, it was like he went in slowly and methodically to make the catch. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing, ideas?
Sounds like the older dog is gonna make a great dog to me. I like a cd that assess's the situation as opposed to just runnin in 100mph and catchin blindly.
