I'm confused. If you have a rough dog that will catch when he finds one, he don't have to have a whole lot of bottom. He might have to run a little ways to catch up but then race is over. My dogs better put teeth on his rear and shut him down. I'm not chasing my dogs all over after one pig. If they can't put teeth on it fairly quickly then they better find another one. We don't keep dogs like the ones you are describing on here. Land not an issue. We have close to 30,000 acres we hunt exclusively. I don't want to b out all night chasing one pig when we could've had 5-6.
So how do your dogs know which ones to chase and pursue and which ones to pull off of in order to catch the 5-6 others "easier" hogs??
If the dogs cant catch up to them it doesnt matter how much the dog wants to put teeth into the hog, its just not gonna happen...
