Yes your doing it right. X2 on what reuben said. Also try and work them up to the biggest hog you can get that away they know how to handle a big hog in the woods. Where are you located and maybe we could meet and make a hunt this is the only type of dog I run.

I thought about getting my male one of these. I'm just to worried about him getting to hot if I put something on him. There has been times he has been caught a mile out.

If you have a finder and keeper already, kennel it up with the one you want to train. Keep them together at all times. They will start to run together on hunts. When you run em on a hunt that older dog will train the younger dog for you. I run nothing but RCDs. I do this whenever I get a new dog to keep my pack mauling em up. Eventually the younger dog will branch off of the older dog and find her own pig. They just have to get some age on them. You can check out my dogs on my facebook page rollingthunderec. I'm training 3 new dogs in my pack right now. When they first start finding their own pig, they might bay because they are waiting for help, especially if its a big hog. 250+. Thats why you should always get something with some bulldog in it when your running rcds. They have a higher prey drive and cant resist to grab a hold of one.

Just keep doing what your doing and slowly increase the size of the pigs your using. Just don't get them banged up early it can set a pup back months. They are still really young for that style of dog. I wouldn't hunt them till I had seen them on some big stuff on mock hunts or if your lucky enough to see the pigs your sending them too.

it is nice to have a dog that can train and lead the pups around but if the pups have it in them to hunt like you want then it will not be a problem...not that big of a deal because the pups will pick it up on their own...the mock hunts are excellent training exercises... |

I pack train all my dogs just like wild dogs. I also walk. When I work my dogs, I am the pack leader, I am at the rear of the pack just like a wild dog who is leading a pack would be. In a wild pack the leader stays in the rear to control/push the pack in a direction. Depending on sign/scent my older dogs range from 100 yards out to 900 yards off of me. When my older dogs range far, my younger dogs range far and vise versa. Which ever, team finds a hog first will chop and grab. Then all my dogs fall into the kill zone. Just like coyotes. You always hear a lone coyote first, then the rest of the pack starts howling and converges on the one by itself. They also do it to link back up. I kill the hog if its still alive when I get there and skin it out keep a little bit of it and pile the rest up for my dogs to eat. That's the way I hunt and will always hunt. I got the majority of my dogs from pounds when they were starving to death, maybe that has something to do with it. I have never worked any of them on a tied/hobbled hog nor a drag. I just take them hunting. When I get a new dog, I throw him in there with them and the older dogs teach it. I just break it from chasing everything else but hogs. I have a lot of big hogs that get away from me because I hunt in some pretty thick brush. They normally scrape my dogs off against trees. But, 200 lbs and below, they'll kill them. I guess everyone has there way of doing things, that's what works for me

I only hunt that style of dog hear in aus, just keep doing what u r doing i dont let my dogs hunt till they r 10 months an run them with an older dog an start using them on their own at a year. most important thing with this style of dog is to make sure u have them stock proof! an run a vest that dont restrict their moment. I hunt my dogs off a ute or 4 wheeler 95% of the time an take a pup with me when they r about 8 months old an let them get use to it an it seems to get them keen watching the other dogs work. I also dont like to have anymore then 2 dogs on a pig when they r pups coz it makes it easy for them to get in a bad habit of grabing a leg instead of an ear or jaw.
