Catch dog

A dog is a specially trained dog that is used to catch large animals in hunting, farming, and fishing.

As a hunter, the catch dog is contrasted with a bay dog ​​that corners prey animals and warns their handler by howling, or babbling. Dog catch is usually equipped with a chest armor to prevent spears by wild boar fangs, and neck protector to prevent neck injuries.

As a cattle dog, catch dogs using their weight and teeth to paralyze live animals so they can be caught, or completely choked up, by dog ​​handlers, who may be hawkers, hunters, butchers, or farmers.

Catch a dog physically holding a boar, usually grab the base of a wild boar's ears. Once the catch dogs have a physical control of the boar, they will hold it with heads indefinitely until the hunter arrives. The hunter then comes from behind a boar, and sends a boar with a knife or a spear.

It is not unusual for hunters to take advantage of dog bay and catch in the same hunt. Dog barks are used to find wild boars, start a chase, and catch a game. Sometimes wild boars will flee from the bay dogs initially, but at some point during the chase will stop fighting or become cornered. At this point the capture dog is released to keep the boar fixed for the hunter.
