Perfect example of different strokes for different folks.
I personally don't care for a dog that stays with a hog for hours, if you can't get him stopped in 45 mins to an hour then come on back and lets find another. I don't like chasing one hog all night, I like catching multiple hogs in a night and if that means leaving the runners running and catchin the hogs that want to sit up and bay then it's fine with me. Don't get me wrong a good long run every now and again ain't bad but I love the hunts where the dogs find and shut down the hog within a few hundred yards before the foot race ever starts.
ya man i gave one dog to a guy who hunts the henderson ranch its pretty open land and lots of hogs. he said the dog was one of best
he has ever owned
