Catch Dog Events
These main bayings events are sometimes augmented with catch competitions, where "catch dogs" bite and hold the hogs' ears to maintain control, and then a human lifts the pig by rear legs and turns onto a side and hog-ties the pig. The event is timed, and the quickest time wins. The dogs are outfitted with kevlar chest and neck armor, and serious injury to either animal is rare.
