Zach, you can take our last Sunday hunt as a good example of a dog with its feet on the ground and a dog didnt. I know soco is only a couple inches taller at the shoulders but he had his feet on the ground and it made a difference. When I got there, quervo was jumpin to try and catch again. No one said that big dogs don't get cut. But when you got a big dog on each ear and they got there front feet on the ground on a big hog, they at least have some control of their body.
I have to agree... have seen it with my own eyes the ability of a dog to control a hog when he can plant his front legs to help control a hog... they just don't seem to get cut as much
