Title: Lab hog dog
Post by: hogdogger98 on September 20, 2013, 04:29:03 pm
I was given a 7 month old lab today I was wondering has many people had success making hog dogs out of them?

There once was a lab that dominated the catch competitions in southern Mississippii.  This was before my time, but I did see a picture of a flyer somewhere with his pic on it.

It was a yell. lab & as soon as he caught, he could be called off. He won a lot of the quick catches.

Someone has posted pics of their golden retriever strike dog before. Said it does a jam up job. The under coat should do just as much to keep it cool as it does to keep it warm, shouldn't be an issue as long as its been acclimated to the heat.

If labs find bombs, drugs, and buried bodies then I don't see why they can't find hogs if trained right

I believe there are certain breeds that are better at certain things.  Maybe labs are not overall the best breed for hog hunting, but that doesn't mean that one dog in a breed cannot be good or exceptional at something.  I believe there are some labs out there that may make a great hog dog.  Doesn't mean your dog will or will not make it; you'll just have to try it and see.

Can't say for all labs but the one I've hunted with was 50 yard dog at the most. She did stay some what busy but always could be found in a water hole. She would bay and try to get a little salty till she got bumpedd and that was it she was done for the rest of the day. There sure could be some good ones out there. But at the end of the day they were not bred to be large game dogs or bred to have high prey drive. There a retriever. To many other breeds of dogs to try on.

We run one that was a great dog he caught many a hogs in his 6 years of doggin he might have been a cross but he sure looked full lab he was always busy gritty as hell and stubborn as a mule and was short to med range he couldn't take a track to well but if the wind was blowing he'd be on them for sure RIP tank

I have 2 American labs that are as aggressive as any dog I have. The big male has found and bayed a small pig on a sizzling track. He has tracked lots of deer that were shot 12 hours before. I don't know if he woulda made a hog dog but he was a good duck dog. Long legged big dog with seemingly endless energy. He is what I call an American lab. Big and gamey.

Thats one main reason i dont like all this internet bs. I find it very helpful but when it comes to it theres always someone there to trash talk and think they know it all. These dogs have caught plenty of pigs and i really dont care what anybody thinks. We're the ones hunting behind them not anybody else doing the trash talkin. As long as we're catching pigs i have no complaining to do what so ever.   Heres some more pics of the pigs they've caught

I had a registered akc lad 125 lbs great catch dog. He was a bird dog retrieved tons of birds always had a heavey mouth. One day he was out playing in the pond retrieving a stick with my wife we were baying some young dogs in the pasture and he just ran up no barking and caught the sow end of the story. After that he would catch and i could tell him to let go and sit and he did just that.
