I would say I value them the same , we dont shoot a hog unless theres a big problem , thats only happened twice on over 500 hogs , they are all a team , my bulldog caught a 380 solo that was # 4 in the wwt , very proud of him , no quit , all heart , lays his head on my shoulder on the atv , to me hes the best Ive seen , all my bay dogs can find there own hogs , they have all spent time in the house healing up and all of them have been curled up in my chair with me getting all the luv I can give , I have a favorite bay dog but there all a team and all have a part in the way we hunt and we charish them all the same , as for worth we all know how easy it is to get a bull dog [ cheap ] but for that bulldog to be one in a million thats not easy , wouldnt take less than 3000 for mine so I guess Ill keep him till he passes , my bay dogs no less than 4000 a piece , who wants to pay that kind of money , not to many people would so again I look at them as the same for what part they do at there job JMO
x2 on this one Bob! I was waiting on someone to say that. I look at it like a team as well. Some may be able to shoot bayed up hogs, but if you want to catch them you need one to find and one to catch. That being said they are a team. Yes you can use more than one dog, and that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that I think if you have good dogs (CD and SD) then they make a complete team, and if you've ever tried to catch hogs without that complete team you'd know what I'm talking about. It's not something that can just be thrown together. Good post!
