KevinN... who's an elitist and has an ego? The ones who have high standards for what they expect in a dog?
Having high standards and expectations for YOUR dogs is GREAT! I have expectations and standards and goals....all of which are MINE and for ME and my yard. I sure wont tell someone else they don't have hog dogs just because their dogs don't suite me.
As far as what a "REAL HOG DOG" is....well.... A 5-10-15 mile race DON'T MAKE a "REAL HOG DOG". You want to talk about a real hog dog then don't spout out this crap about "if a hog wants to run its gonna run"
That is B.S.!!!
2 or 3 "REAL HOG DOGS" won't LET a hog break...period. You say you've seen hogs dragging dogs hanging off their nutts and it don't slow them down? Well....I've seen it plenty and the hog stops every time. You say a bad briar thicket and the hog will blow and and leave the dog behind? Well I've seen that too and the hog don't make it 100 yards because the dogs bayed tight...even in the thick stuff. THESE dogs were true hog dogs....gritty as hell but didn't catch...sure, they got cut and some died but THEY were sure enough bay dogs.....and sure enough "REAL HOG DOGS".
There are MANY styles and preferences when it comes to hunting hogs with dogs and if the dogs produce...they are ALL TRUE HOG DOGS.
Where are they and when can I come watch them hunt?
