To me, an all around hog dog should to do it all. Find and catch
If running two dogs down and they find a sounder I would like for each dog to be holding it's own pig. If only one pig is there, both dogs should be holding the hog.
I prefer these dogs to hunt fairly close range for a few reasons. 1, easy to stay in good grace's with the landowners when they like to go with you and your dogs aren't hunting over on his neighbor if you get close to the property line. 2, if the dog starts leaving out you know to head that way cause the dog ain't just casually hunting anymore.
There are no long races. The pig is caught in its bed if found bedded or caught before it realizes the threat. In crops where the pigs can sometimes see the dogs bearing down on them, the dogs have their pigs caught before the pigs can exit the field. The only sound ever made is the sound of pig grunts or squeels. At night when hunting crops feilds, often times I will catch two pigs up front in the field with two dogs and do to the only sound ever made being by a grunting pigs and a little squeeling, the others are un aware of what's taking place and never leave the feild and just start eating again. That results in two more pigs being caught. Or if they do leave, often times they will be back shortly. As the season goes on they will spook for the night after the first run but return nightly because the lucky pigs that were not caught, never really understand what is going on. They don't ever get really spooked.
Another reason I prefer dogs that find and emmediatly catch is because the pigs are not allowed to bay up where they can use the landscape to their advantage. It's often times easier to access the pigs to load once caught. Finally the pigs often times do not fight as hard do in part by the manner they are caught and with just one dog holding it often it will just kinda walk around in a circle grunting untill flipped by me for tying or stabbed.
There is no cure for capturemyopathy once it sets in, only preventative measures. If you like selling live pigs caught with dogs to a buying station then you try to minimize the stress put on that pig cause a dead hog brings no money for me. I like to sell the big boars and the big boars are the worst about coming down with it.
Biggest reason i like and prefer the kinda pig dogs i do is just simply because it's the style that i personally enjoy most and i like, admire, and respect these kinds of dogs most.
For me, that's an all around good pig dog. One that finds and catches and does so while rarely ever getting hurt.
