Just depends in what you are wanting in a hog dog... for me.... I expect my bay dogs to take a beating when necessary(i.e. protecting me or mine from getting hurt).... but otherwise, I fully expect them to use their BRAIN and avoid injury by WORKING a hog into submission... if the hog decides to run, RIP IT'S HAMSTRING OUT till he decides to sit down and fight.... then BACK THE HELL UP and wait for the MEATHEAD to arrive....
Trust me when I say it takes not only a TREMENDOUS athlete to accomplish this, but a THINKING dog as well...
A Mal would be an EXCELLENT cross to enhance this...
excellent post NOAH...year before last there was a malamute cross dog hanging out at the lease and he was a hunting machine...He tried to catch birds hidden in the grass and would hunt and catch rabbits...I thought he was probably living off of fawns so I gave him a long ride elsewhere. He would of made a heck of a hog dog. He was built perfect and was very fast...
