Probably best that you guys stay away from them. If you don't understand them and how to use them just don't get them. If your getting them killed, your doing something or multiple things very wrong. Most people will not be able to analyze why they are failing with them but that same person might very well be able to wrap their head around a different style of hunting dog. Probably best to let they people who successfully run such dogs in question, answere the question.
He said RCD not finder holder, there's more than one kind of rcd and more than one way to use them

Glad at least YOU realize. Might try telling that to your buddy Ruben since he is the one trying to answere the man's question by using them. He clearly knows jack about them but is all to happy to talk about them as if he does. Even if he did once own some kinda lurcher, that don't give you the right to compare junk in one breed or type to the better of another. Another thing while I'm at it, if you are one of the ones that fail at doing something when others do it extremely successfully, do you really think that person should be so eager to drag such into the discussion as if they are experts on them. Especially since you yourself just said it isn't the same thing? I wasn't the one that brought them to try to answere the man's question. Matter of fact I didn't answere the question question because you are right, Finder holders and RCDs are not the same thing. Did this deliberately because I don't have RCDs and never have.
However Leif, since the man asked about RCDs finding their own pigs and since you are so quick to tell me This ain't the same as a finder holder, how about telling me the difference between an RCD that finds its own pigs and a Finder Holder since your trying to educate me on it!
I'm not trying to educate you on anything, but the guy asking the question should know there are options, not everyone has access to the genetics you promote nor do most realize they even want them because they aren't aware of the advantages. Black streak I believe your style of RCD to be superior to many other forms, if they perform as you say and I have no reason to doubt your word, I would love to have a 90 lb long legged medium range, rcd with a good nose a long neck and a clean holding style and the stamina to hold a large boar by itself for over an hour, but I don't, I have some smaller dogs that catch on sight that are short range and don't take a track well and one RCD that has a good nose but weighs about 70 lbs that's medium range that has been getting my curs cut up. I have a friend that hunts one cat and 4 or 5 airedale crosses that are catch on site dogs but don't have good noses, very short range dogs, he's caught thousands of hogs with his dogs and doesn't lose one very often, you might be able to accomplish the same thing with one or two finder holders, does that make my friends way of hunting his dogs wrong? No it doesn't. You know as well as I do there are many successful ways to catch hogs with dogs, not all RCDs are created equal, and very few people have access to the genetics you prefer.
