Been messin with these so called "game bred dogs" for over 30 years and had several different lines thru the years. The last 3 I've brought a couple down to hunt with. I did it with these 2 because they didn't show the extreme dog aggression that some show. They were both exposed to hogs and will do well catching and I was able to ride them on the wheeler or in a trailer with other dogs. The "dead game" dog is not necessary most of the time as acatch dog but I sure feel better knowing that dog is not thinking about changing jobs in the middle of a catch. Some lines tend to be more dog aggressive but most of them can be focused on hogs from a young age and learn to love the hunting. Some lines can tend to be dumber than stumps too. It is very hard to generalize about game bred or pet bred or backyard bred. I know all types can work but I like the leggier dogs for a lot of reasons. There are guys that will cross there dogs and those who won't but distance is not the problem it once was because you can get the collection materials and collect and send your own semen anymore. Doesn't cost that much to have it AIed either. Just a possibility.
