I wonder if it’s too late to try and do something with mine. It happened March 17

I have heard of a dog that got his repaired after 6 weeks, don't have any details but I think he made a good recovery

I wouldn’t know where to even start. The 2 vets around me turned it down the day after it happened.

The young vets will spay a dog in a minute. It didn't look complicated to sew the Achilles, probably way easier than spaying a dog. The vet that helped me is 65 years old and charged 100$. I paid him 200 and thanked him. I would try contacting your state vet college or find an old vet and ask him to give the dog a chance. There's nothing to loose.

I had one get his cut around the first of March. My old vet sutured it back together with monofilament suture. Just went all the way around the tendon. He said that it was good I got him there quick. He put him in a splint for 2 weeks.
The dog is doing really well. I plan in giving him the summer off. I wish these young Vets would just try something, it didn't look hard to sew but he had the advantage of having him put to sleep....good luck

To my knowledge in the state of Alabama, the transport(even on the same property) or intentional release of a feral hog (trapped, or dogged) is illegal. It is a class B misdemeanor, carries a $2500 mandatory fine per occurrence and a maximum jail sentence of 6 months.  Needless to say that all dog training is OJT, LOL. If I am wrong, someone please  correct me.

how I got Started....I had not hunted with a dog since we had a family hunting accident on a deer dog drive when I was in the 6th grade.  Everything turned out OK but we stopped dog hunting that year.  Hogs arrived on my farm in 2010.  I had started taking a rifle with me to check the calving pastures. I had killed a few but there was a sow nest on a creek in a canebrake. Every time I tried to sneak in there she would hit the ditch and get away.  One day while checking the heifers a coon hound started following me around, he was upsetting the new mothers so I took him to the creek. We traveled along the creek downwind of the nest. I told him to "Hunt em up" and he got in there and ran the sow and 2 shoats out.  I shot the sow and a shoat and the dog caught the other shoat. I decided I needed a dog that evening.  I fed the dog all that I could find in the truck. I haven't seen him since. I started with one dog and now have several. They are training me!  They teach me something every time I take them out!!!

Mike, can you give us an update on your 700?

I ran this one all summer, but only sent her to barking....sold by Backwoods Dog Supply in Aliceville,AL (collar is attached)

I also rarely stitch a dog, especially if they can lick it. If they can't lick it, I put him with another dog.  I had to stitch a dog for a friend a couple years ago that had got hit by a trailer. The fender had taken a BIG flap of skin off the rib area. It was an area aboUT 10 to 12 inches on a dog that was part chow and would bite. I gave her about 3cc of ACE in the muscle. ACE is a drug given to horses to take the edge off.  It made her real relaxed and she let me do the stitching. I got it from the vet without fuss.  BTW I prefer 15 lb monofilament fishing line to suture a dog, anything smaller will usually break when the flesh turns proud. 

Man I hate it, last one this summer that was 25% diamond, he was a hunting SOG...How was she bred?

Thanks men!

I had one bayed in a lot of water one time about 400 yards from the edge of a corn field so I started walkin in got about 200 from them they we on a big hill so I turned bulldogs loose bulldogs get about half way there and the hog breaks and runs to the corn field they stoped in the field bulldogs caught up I hear grunting run to them and all I could see was dogs were in the cab of my side by side I thought the dogs got one of the hogs that was already tied I get there and there is a 300 pound boar standing in the floor board of my 400 ranger I had a hell of a time getting him out he was stuck that is one of the craziest things I've ever seen

If we had been on a side by side he would have ran through it ....buddy said he was going to leave the doors on his lol

All I can figure is that the hog felt surrounded with the dogs behind him ...or, there was a hot sow close ...or, he had been harassed by a dog hunter in the past, I do remember having a hog bayed over there in January, the creek was flooded and I couldn't get around in time .....pic is from yesterday at the scene .....thanks for the input

Me and my son were hunting along a creek. The dogs were out in front and got piggy. I let the rcd out of the box and we slowly proceeded. The creek is about 80-100 feet wide and 12-15 feet deep in the blackbelt region of West Alabama. Anyway all 4 dogs bail into the creek and a big boar stands up in the grass on the edge and runs right at the four wheeler.  We're 20 yards from him and with no time to react he charges and hits the four wheeler full out. I had time to step off and my son raised his legs just before he ripped off the fender and left tusk marks below the seat.  The dogs ran by him and never saw him and never barked. He had plenty of room to go by. Has anyone else ever had a hog charge that was unprovoked? Any way, chased him about 1/2mile across pasture and had him in the scope 3 times but couldn't get a shot. Dogs caught up and trailed him 3/4 mile through a thicket and lost him.  Was getting dark so we caught them and left him alone.  What to yall think?  Yall run across a rogue SOB like that before?
