In my experience dogs that get cut more then average would be a dog that is fighting the hog not catching. This will cause other dogs to get cut. Now you ain't going to stop all cuts but you can knock it down by knowing the dog and good cut gear.

I often times raise an eyebrow at people who demand no regripping from their catch dogs they send to the bays. The curs are instigating a big fight from the pig. Biting it barking and escalating the level of intensity and excitement coming from the pig and other dogs. They want a dog that doesn't regrip while the others are doing provoking a fight. Sure 1 or 2 guys can hold another down but that calm assertiveness is basically gone in mob rule type culture and fights. No one gonna naturally hold while others are fighting, if you can kinda visualize that. Not saying we on this forum would willfully fall into mob rule type groups, just using it as an analogy to illustrate circumstances. Same catch dogs in different circumstances may be more prone to calmly hold. These types of circumstances are one of the key elements to finding holding dogs being able to hold so long and stay so injury free. 1 element of many but a key element.
