this is exactly what i know to be true everyone has their likes and dislikes and ill bet anything I could take a dog that comes from a line that is rough and short range and make them long range and loose baying. everyones dogs will work the way you train them to work and will follow the way your pack works!
Could you take that same dog and train him to be exactly what you want WITHOUT that pack. Putting dog onthe ground by himself and expecting him to get it done consistently is totally different then throwing a dog down with other dogs and letting him pack up.
Going by your statement, you oughta have a yard full of straight up hog dogs, and you oughta be able to go right down to the pound and get em to do it. I just don't buy that.
there are many people out there that do that very thing! I have ran into many hog hunters out there with mutes that are catching dogs and for only one reason ...money they dont want to spend the money to buy dogs or vests to protect their dogs it is easier to get a pack of mutes and push the woods sending dogs out on site chase then to invest any time or effort into making a good hog dog and protecting that dog as best as possible! I have NEVER got a dog killed by a hog do to training and the protection my dogs wear! How many of you can say the same thing?
