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.
Thanks mike i like all the info. and advice...The dog was wobbly legged but he was not carried out, we just took his vest off etc. His performance since has not given anything to fault but he wont be bred
It was a busted bay and we took over 45 min to get to him, he would have been stroked out if he didnt let go so i am glad he did in that instance, if it happened regularly he wouldnt be around i assume (not my dog), he has a big heart and i have legged plenty of bad hogs behind him since. Thanks again for the opinions i was curious to know what yall thought about one under H2O
