Pack diversity

I hunt 4 dogs most of the time.
-
1 medium to long range, sure enough find dog with too much bottom who will not put a tooth on a hog.
-
1 smart short range dog that will bay big hogs and catch anything under 100lbs. He packs well with the lead dog and keeps us from chasin small hogs all the time.
-
1 straight catch hound cur cross who we use primarily as a lead in catch dog. We use him like an rcd if we can't keep a hog bayed. The other short range dog will help catch.
-
1 lead in bulldog. Only turn him loose on solid bays on big hogs at this point.
-
We have a gyp at the house I can run with the other short range dog on small places. Also run the 2 catchy dogs together on small places. They don't have much bottom.
-
I prefer to run 2 loose bay find dogs and listen to them sing a song to me while I walk into the bay. We all know that don't always work so we have the rough catchy line up minus the bottom to keep em close. I always have 2 dogs that will catch at all times to minimize damage. Nothin spectacular by any means but we have fun with them. Got 3 pups I'm gonna start this spring so it might change the whole pack dynamic!
