A dog that you can count on to consistently produce hogs and bay ahead of the other dogs most of the time is gonna be about 4 years old IMO... You can catch hogs with 1, 2 and 3 year old dogs but that sure enough dependable dog day in and day out is gonna be at least 4...
I agree with all of this except the age...to me...if the dogs consistantly produces hogs....the age doesnt matter. I think the term finished is more of a marketing tool than an actual meaning.
I dont know about the bulldogs teeth but from my vet....a dogs teeth do not "set". According to him.....once a dog has his adult teeth/canines...they are ready.
