I am also scared too much bottom can be a bad thing. I have some places where we hunt close to neighbor's and other places where a dog can run miles.
I guess I can only keep trying! Maybe a loose dog that is rough enough to stop a hog is all I need!
I don't like rough dogs, I hate doctoring dogs. They work but I have seen some dogs get cut pretty good.
I forgot to mention , in my area they brought in pure breed Russian boars for " trophy " hunters to hunt with a rifle . They got outta hand and they are now everywhere.

Not saying this is a lie by no means, but everyone who gets out ran says the exact same thing. I think people would be really surprised at just how far and how long ANY hog will run if they get pressured enough. There's no doubt hogs have Russian influence, but I think pressure is more a factor then anything else.
