I to would never own a dog that can't run a track and mine have enough stick to get the job done. Just because a dog is ruff doesn't mean they have no bottom. It's not uncommon for them to run a hog a couple hrs before stopping it.
How do you avoid loosing these rough dogs if its "not uncommon for them to run a hog a couple hrs before stopping it."
? Its been my experience that when dogs start catching bad boars and I can't get there in a hurry they usually take a beating.
And by the way in one post your dogs "get the job done in a faster more efficient manner" and now "its not uncommon for them to run a hog a couple hrs" Your killing me. Ha ha ha. I'm not challenging your hunting style, it just never worked for me up here where the hog numbers are thin and they.run hard. If you can't remember your last trip to the woods without a hog strike it will be hard to understand how frustrating it is to watch a couple rough mutts scatter a set of hogs all over the country then come back in 15 minutes. We hunt days sometimes in my country so when we find a track, we need a cold nose to trail that hog up and enough bottom to stay with him if he runs.
