First, good post Paul T. Your example made a lot of sense. My response would be if your working with a good versatile strain/family of a certain breed it would be like using all purpose tires. They adapt.
True, but they will not be as efficient as a purpose bred animal for a particular area or type of hunting.
Right, it would be more utility. But it has to be useful enough to get the job done which is this case would be catchin the hog even if the hog is rank.
