There is option 4 to Justin's scenerio & I have seen it happen. The bulldog might run in & catch the bay dog.lol
On a young dog or pup I will hold the hog by the hind legs & let somebody lead the bulldog up to the hog to try to get him on the ear the first time. Once he learns to catch, then I will put him in a training area with a bay dog & let him catch. This does two things. Helps teach him to know what a bay is & gives him more experience catching. The really good ones dont need much, it is just in them.
Back in the old days, we just threw them in the training area with a rank hog & he either caught or was run out. Now I guess in my advanced years I have gotten more sensitive.
