For the ones that have hog dogs

I don't go hunting to hangout with buddy's or play in the mud or socialize or whatever, I go to see dogs work that's it. I'm not talking about riding around a field and seeing a hog and turning a bulldog on it and catching it and taking pics and calling that a hog dog. However you hunt, dogs that hunt around looking up and down at you wondering which way to go or even baying for a hour or so or running a hog a mile or so and then come trotting back ready to get after the next one is not a hog dog Their a dime a dozen no matter how you hunt. I like dogs that do things that the average dogs can't do it doesn't matter to me who has them if it's me or the man across the road. I like to see the best. i think putting a dog on hogs makes them if it's in the right ways. It's a man close to me has a great place to hunt but he don't have a dog that will take a track he just rides lets dogs run in front and hog cross the road boom it's caught if the hog can make it about 800 yards it's safe cause their coming back. That don't make hog dogs. I got a dog named Ben when he was 8 months old I seen he was different he was running 4+ hour races and leading some of them so I started hunting him by himself a lot. It was several hogs be couldn't find but it was several he figured out and all on his own. That's why I hunt is for dogs like this . He just turned 2 September and my buddy had him most of the summer and just brought him back the other day. And told me all you have to do now is let him get out of the box and he will take you hunting. I'm not bragging on the dog by any means but to me that's what's it's about is dogs that's impressive and better than the average mutt. but he's not the kind of dog you can walk behind or with and keep up regardless of if your in Texas or alabama. if a dog can't make a hog it ain't a hog dog it's just a dog you use to catch hogs with is the way I see it.
