Pros are you'll catch some hogs cons are everything gets cut to hell. I tried it for a while, but all my good strike dogs were always getting the bad end of the deal

I don't ever let them run free here is why a catch dog only know to do one thing catch no matter what's going on around him that is the main problem but I will cut mine from a very long distance if I know the area. It just can cauz more problems than good will come from it. But if your just running pits or dogos or ab then it is what it is

Depends on what your catch or holding dogs are, the type of country you are hunting, and how hot it is. I do it all the time.

Also depends on what your ultimate objective is. I enjoy catching hogs, but I far more enjoy the dog work that goes into it. I often like to sneak into a bay and watch a while. Gives me a chance to evaluate working style of young dogs, and also choose if there in a good spot to send bulldogs.

We have done both. We run a couple Dogos, my objective with them is for them to be able to find their own hogs as well.

Letting your catch dog run with the bay dogs is usually a one and done deal. You never really get a good bay of a group of hogs instead they just catch whichever one they make it to, usually one of the smaller ones. But when you let your bay dogs work the group of hogs you can sneak in with you CD and get as close as possible without busting them then wait until the biggest of the group rotates closest to you and turn the CD loose. Hopefully he will run in and hit the first one he comes across which will hopefully be the big one. I've had better luck this way. Then as soon as you catch hopefully the bay dogs know to get back ahead and they'll have the others bayed up again shortly.

I never lead any dog and they all find hogs my dogs aren't like you say at all I have 2 that are 6 and an ab that's 4 never been lead and all catch smart everyone will catch the biggest in a pack as well.I believe if a dog has been lead it's whole training then they're going to be lead in dogs who are so jacked once cut loose they only think of catching but if a dog has been ran his whole life and trails a hog or runs a hog a mile and they know help is going to be a minute they get smarter on the way they hold.For instance I have a dog Redman 90% of the time I get to him he has the hog pulled against a tree side by side.He'll hold a big hog by himself for a long time but he won't kill himself if he heats up he'll come off but that's only happened a few times.I'm not saying that is the right way to hunt it's just how I hunt and a lot of guy's around me hunt that way.
