Confersation on RCD's

Yes! Absolutely nailed it about too many people wanting a rough pack of dogs over a group that can adapt. A group of dogs that are smart enough to know who's on the ground, who's going to try first, and when to help out is a group that will put down big hogs consistently. When there is a dog like your Cracker dog which will be looked upon to make the first move and he's hunted over a period of time with dogs that are smart enough to realize when he's not around they need to loosen up, then you've got something. If the guy with the roughest dogs caught the most pigs, everyone would be running half bulldogs. It's all about having a pack that can read each other and know when to adapt the game plan. When you hunt a pack a couple hundred times together with the same line up, a dog worth their feed will find their place and they learn to read each other. Dogs who keep exchanging hands and going to a new yard never find their role. That's how you end up with a super rough dog in a bad situation. A smart line up of dogs that has been hunted together for a couple years and know each others' style is the best answer for bad boars. Not a bunch of buzz-saw type dogs working for themselves.
