I've seen more hogs bay up with a dog that never touches it than with dogs that put there teeth on them. Whenever one gets too rough... it's off to the races. Now, some people that run rough dogs do catch a bunch of hogs... but the big ones usually wreck their pack and walk away. I ran rough dogs for several years when I first started... then I seen the light.
We can debate this all day long, there's no right way or wrong way. As long as you're catching hogs with you're dogs... that's all that matters.
And all this is from my experiences... not offend anyone.
