I feel your pain Brian been there done that. The only difference is I like a little grit in a dog.
Don't get me wrong, my dogs are plenty gritty. They'll put their teeth on one Just as much as they need to. They know what hogs they can and can't catch though. I don't like a strike/bay dog that will try a hog and make them run when they should be baying it. I've got great catch dogs that will grab one. I don't need my other dogs getting cut or running a hog any further than needed.
