to me a ruff dog is a dog that would rather catch than bay ...... don't care who you are sometimes a ruff dog will make the difference in catching a particular hog and sometimes cause you to loose a hog ....

I like dogs that are loose when they need to be and rough when they have to be with the breeding and brains to know which one to be at the right time.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principle difference between a dog and a man.

Bigo, that's what I'm saying besides the breeding and the brains you have to handle them everyday.

I used to hunt with a fella, had 2 bmc's. They would find and bay hogs, and when you got to bay they would catch Everytime. When they knew you were there, it was caught hog Everytime, but until you got there they would stand back and bay
Wish my dogs could be like that, I either have one extreme or the other. Either rough as a Cobb, or loose as a goose. No in between. Typically my luck

I have seen this most often with stock bred dogs, I know any dog can do it but the ones I seen that did this the most natural and were the best at it were stock bred dogs. I think the dogs having good stock sense helps with this greatly. Just an observation. |

These are the ones we hunt. We usually have a few more dogs on the ground so they can get rough with numbers. But It's more so though they know the game and get rough once we get there. As soon as we walk into a bay if the right cur dogs are there, they'll look up and see you; and immediately tighten up on him. As soon as he tries them they'll stick him or if we go to hollering we can coax them into catching them. Catch a lot more hogs not toting a bulldog around but it can get you cut down a lot more than normal and beat up. I guess it's good because we hunt a mixture of both rough and loose dogs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I hunt loose and rough together a lot works good for me but it ain't for every one. I got dogs that won't bark so I thro a loose dog with em to let me know what's going on.

I have different opinions than most. There is a huge difference in the word rough dependin on who you are talking to. Theres what i tent to call counterfeit rough and theres true committed rough, counterfeit rough (entirely my opinion) is a dog that gets right in ones face and goes to fightin/biting and gettin whooped on and doesnt flat out catch then theres dogs that go about it in a smarter fashion with a bit more sense. Dogs that barrel in wide open have alot better chance of being cut down than dogs that take their time, wait for the right moment to get a piece and when they do they dont let go. Now at the end of the day rough is rough and sooner or later they will pay for it, i just know that some dogs go about it way smarter than others.....same as catchdogs, some run wide ass open and bulldoze the hog and some take that extra couple seconds to pick their shot but when they do they usually connect.

Excellent post. A smart "rough" dog is skilled in combat. A dumb "rough" dog is full steam ahead. Hunting style is important. But I need my team to be strategic. Get in. Shut him down. And keep moving to the next hog. Without sacrificing life and limb in the process. I'm not agains a catchdog that bails and strikes at the right moment. Ali chose when to strike. I want my catch dogs to do so as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
