My definition of rough, is when a dog doesn't even take a second thought about catch or not. A good bay dog will stay close enough to keep the hogs attention, but far enough back as to avoid injury or pushing hog to break bay
I can't afford to maintain 10 head of dogs, because they are too rough and constantly getting cut down. 2-3 well trained loose baying dogs works best. I don't mind a loose dog getting a bit gritty on hogs when they got backup around
Not talkin number 2, just puttin it out there....what "works best" is a matter of personal preference. I dont want loose dogs because rough dogs work great for me, that doesnt mean for a second that loose dogs dont work best for you, its a personal preference really. As long as you catch hogs thats really all that matters in the end, like the old saying goes....theres a hundred ways to skin a cat.
