I like a strike dog that will put SOME teeth on a hog and try to keep him in place till the calvary gets there, namely my big RCDs. I don't want a 3 hour race, I don't wanna run more than a hundred yards, too old and out of shape for that. I am a firm believer that catchy dogs catch more hogs. Catchy being they can hold a hog till help arrives. Rough, catchy, depends on how you define it. Last week my buddy's 45 pound cross tried to catch a 300 lb boar, he couldn't hold him long enough. Saturday night we caught a 275 boar. One little strike dog and my 85 RCD held onto and fought with the hog for 10 minutes. My dog got cut pretty bad but that is part of his job. Rougher dogs get cut more, looser dogs less. Just from what I have seen of my dogs and others dogs.
