To me a good catch dog is worth more than a good strike dog. If a strike dog doesn't do it's job we go home without pork. If a catch dog doesn't do it's job you may not go home! Go catch some good hogs by yourself and the true value of a good catch dog is priceless.
Well put, it's when you get in a bind that you realize exactly what you have, or don't have and I'd sure hate to see that side of it.
