dang boys quitters is quitters and i wont feed a quitter . it's just as easy [ well maybe a little more work ] to have your dogs leave a hog on command and not on it's own . you don't want them staying with a runner get a handle on em and call em off , don't let them quit on their own . that does nothing for the breed . don't wanna hurt no feelings [ well maybe i do lol ] but keep breeding for bottom and train them to come in when called you'll be much better off in the long run . and so will the breed . just my perspective on the subject , ever wonder why these hogs have took to runnin ? mainly cause they been run before and the dogs in pursuit quit em . hogs is smart as all get out and it don't take em long to figure something out . have fun out there and run em to death lol
[/quote Where I'm from, we "build" what we call "Florida Curdogs". This is a type of dog, rather than a breed. Number one thing we breed for is the ability to "stop" rough stock. I'm not there to run anything to death, I'm there to "stop" them
My dogs work off my command and can be called out, but having dogs that know when they are beat is priceless to me. With this being said, there is not a dog alive that is going to stop them all.
