Whats yalls opinion on a 2 yr old cd that has never once barked at the baddest hog... however, one catch/bay gone wrong in the middle of summer ... broken bay and the cd took off and caught again (heard squeeling) about 20 min later, and garmin said treed. It took us close to an hour to get to the hog and dogs at witch time the dog was laying in the water due to exhaustion (not cut/small 130 lb boar) saw us caught again stuck pig then went to the truck. The dog has not barked at a pig since, but did show some self preservation last summer or would have died.
Opinions please....
I would never trust that dog again. What if you were on your hands and knees crawling through a thicket in the middle of the night and the dog decided it was time for a break? If the dog had over heated in the scenario you described, it wouldn't have gotten up and caught the hog when you arrived... you would have been carrying the dog out of the woods.
