I have had about every style of dog a man could have. Started with catahoulas that where very short range to birdogs you would never see. Have had rough and I have had loose. I read all the time about runners and needed dogs to put breaks on them. But to me one good solid dog will keep that hog stopped till the cd comes. Yeah I break bays every now and then but most of the time that hog gets caught. I don't mind rough dogs but I would rather have a a dog that backs up and bays and a solid catch dog. I like to here a bay and be able to take my time to get to it and not worry about finding their guts laid out when I get there. I seem to catch more hogs with a loose baying dog and a bulldog. I got an 8 year male fl cur and a 6 year old female that I couldn't even begin to tell you how many hogs they have caught. Anybody else like to hunt with one baydog and a catch dog?




Very well said but you would be surprised how many dogs folks have that won't bay a hog alone over a few minutes.   I have been guilty of feeding some real junkers in my life because they may have struck first and found hogs but was always joined quickly by other dogs and always looked real good with a pack of turds just like them.   If a guy wants to know what he has just turn them loose ALONE, grab you a couple catch dogs and follow them around a few nights.

I like gritty to rough dogs...even if it means going home after catching a bad boar....more so than loose bay dogs that catch many on one hunt with a catch dog...but the type of dogs I like one dog alone will hold one for a long while...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
