My opinion of that is either run a whole pack of rough dogs or a pack of loose dogs but not a mixture. I guess it would be ok if you put down alot of dogs but with only running 2 to 4 I would stick with one type or the other.

Not rough at all. I started hunting with rough dogs and never needed a catch dog. Most rough dogs have a short life span and are always cut or injured... unable to hunt. Not my cup of tea any more. I saw the light and never looked back.  |

I saw the light and never looked back. I feel the same way! I hate to have 2 or3 dogs laid up at a time! |

I have two curs that can keep most any hog bayed up by themselves for as long as it taks to get help to them (cd or 2) that are not rough at all, at the end of the hunt i dont have to deal with cut collrs etc. and have not used a staple gun all year! its conveniant.
I still enjoy hunting with rough dogs but I dont want to get rid of mine as long as they are doing their job. I think bottom line its all about finesse to keep the hog bayed rough or not but it sure is easy without all the trouble of staples etc.

Rough dogs for me but they gotta be smart and know there limit. Havein hog dogs that won't get rough to me is like havein a retriver that won't get in the water. Just my 2 cents

don't get rid of her yet. Keep her espically if she is young, ole hazel will get rough with butcher and houdini, but if i take her with cash or dogs that aren't rough she will step back and bay. U never know she might turn out to be a good dog, i have a few dogs that aren't rough, and i just hunt them by themself.

Start running that young dog with rough dogs. If it's in her the roughness will come out. I got one I am prolly gonna sale if she don't start gettin rough. She just likes to nip the back legs no matter what size pig

I use a mixture of rough and loose and still catch hogs on a regular basis Ive caught 11 hogs in a day with my dogs where hogs are plentiful the one that got away will always leave you wondering what went wrong To many dogs? or not enough, to rough ,to loose .If it stops raining here I may go do some extensive research  |

I like my bay dogs to bay, and my catch dogs to catch.
Not to jack the post, but how many feel that catchy / roughness in dogs is more a result of running them with other like dogs or strickly a result of genetics?

I think that rough dogs blow out alot of bays, there seems to be a fine line between the dog that is just rough enough and the one that is too rough! I hear of all these dogs for sale that will stop a running hog but then back off and bay one they stop. Well I havent seen any of them, I have only heard of them. I agree with the guy that said if you are going to run a rough dog then run all rough dogs and as has already been said, you better have a large supply of them because you will need replacements. We have a rough dog that bays alot of hogs for us it apears that if it is under 100 he will catch it, if its over two hundred he will bay it, everything in between he blows out and we run it two or three times before we catch it.

this dog will never be rough. its just not in her. she will bay a pig with racing stripes and run next to a hog, barking in its face. |

When yall say they are rough do you mean they are like running catchdogs or they will grab one to stop it then bay. I like to walk into a good bay. Thats one of the biggest reasons I like to hunt is to hear and watch the dogs bay. Just aint as nice to walk in the hog already be caught.

I got a dog, im not saying he is the best dog by any means, he is rough and there are a few people that can testify to this from this web site (buddybegone,ghesseltine) i can turn him loose by himself, he can find, stop, bay byhimself until we get there with the cd. If u turn a decently rough dog to him while he is baying it will be caught when you get there. Now grant it, when he was youngier he was cut ALOT, seems with age he don't get cut near as often either.
