What are y'all calling handle?

Handle is a good amount of loose skin or a long enough tail to grab those skittish tellers of mine by so I can load em. Lol

I want them to find hogs and bay them as fast and near to where they started him as is possible given varying circumstances. Good nose good leg and overall good conformation in a dog whose smart enough use his genetic potential in a way that is pleasing to ME.
I've owned and known several dogs who had everything most normal hog hunters (not that I'm somehow abnormal) would love to see, who just didn't have their heads wired quite right and even though they got the job done and did it consistently, once you really started paying attention you'd find they were making it harder than it needed to be.

I would have never seen that however without being exposed to dogs who could do it and make it look elementary.
