I have wondered if a shep would do it they can do all kinds of work and they have all the tools no dought and they have one of the strongest bites of all dog psi of pressure and good nose that is bad a$$

 1 of my former soldiers has shepards that he uses for hog hunting.

Hunted with a guy in chattfield a couple times that had a German shepherd house pet and an old Catahoula. They struck and caught a decent boar when he was fishing a stock tank out there.

I'm really not surprised. My family raised German import shepherds and they had awesome noses for tracking. We had one that had as strong a bite as I've ever seen. That was before we hog hunted though. They are very very smart and I could see them being good strike and catch dogs.

I would like to see that video too if you wouldn't mind.

That's awesome. I think a lot of breeds are capable, it's whether they WANT to or not, lol.

Charles hurry up already...lol

Ok, i can get the vids to work on my iphone, but not my laptop. It shows the vids, but wont play once the photobucket page opens. Hell if i know

Never owned a German Shepherd, but have owned and worked with Belgian Malinois.  I've seen those dogs use their noses and strength for the military but haven't heard them being used for hunting, till recently. Curious to know how they do and how well they do, does anyone hunt with a Belgian Mal?

I started out with schutzhund dogs long before I got into hog dogs. I've believed from day one the the right GSD or  Mal could make an amazing hog dog. Im working on getting my cur dogs where I want them.  But once that is done I plan on working a GSD or Mal into my program. Whether a straight bred dog or a cross. I have more experience with GSDs than mals, but given the  right dog I know they could do the job!

I saw on one of your hunts you posted, you had what I thought was a Mal with you.  Between their build for speed, strength and how smart they can be, I wondered how they'd do on a hunt but know how they can be overly energetic and a complete spaz. But I agree with you, they always need a job and with the right dog I think they could do it.
