When hunting... Do you prefer your bulldog to "grab and shake" or "grab and hold/dig"

I prefer the grab and dig. I will expound on the subject after a few responds...

I agree with Gotap_D, that it depends on what he has a hold of

Strictly-speaking, from an energy-conserving standpoint, the dog that expends less energy is going to take over and win after the :30-:40 mark (this is why I prefer methodical dogs to barnstormers).

However, if a dog has a hold of a key spot (like a paw) that is vulnerable to a shake, and your dog knows it, he should shake-away and break what he has, while he has it.

Other than that, I prefer a holding/rooting type of dog.
