What would you do?

Hillbilly- I need something that will help stick with a runner, and hopefully produce me hogs if/when the dogs get cut down again.

Justincorbell- you are very right and I have done some thinking and ive pushing towards something that works like my male but i want it to catch solid. whether to go with a younger dog that will run with the pack but might not be quite what i need in experience if he has to produce solo, or spend the money a older dog that may split bays but will find me pigs consistenly....its takes lots of time to fund and buy the right dog which I have but my pack needs it yesterday....lots of thinking to do.

Shotgun wg- that is something I am considering my only hesitation is whether or not the dog would be sure enough to get out solo, take a track the distance and start a pig if I get cutdown two weeks into owning him
