I mostly walk hunt don't get me wrong I have nothing against road hunting casting rigging or any other methods and I have done them all when that is the best way to hunt a spot all with the same pack of dogs.If a dog won't get out and hunt I don't keep him period.In my personal experience when walk hunting my dogs have to work much harder to find pigs because I don't do any of the work for them. I don't find them a track to run or fresh sign to turn out on don't hunt feeders and am not riding them till they rig one.They have to find the sign and work it out and even though I have a game plan when we start the dogs usually decide where we're going because I won't make them turn if they are trying to head a certain way unless necessary.For me and my preferred style of hunting,a dog that is very intense and thorough about his hunting that ranges from 0-500 yards checking every game trail and bush on his loop and does this at a very fast trot checking in at the same trot and gone again are the dogs I like.The dog should have an internal drive that he has no control over the need to find his prey.Once a hog is found I want the dog to try its very hardest to stop the hog and hold it.I have been through a lot of dogs to get a few that I like and I feel are suited for this type of hunting.The things that Judge said are exactly how I proceed in hunting my dogs.I to have found only a few guys that are willing to do this a few times a week it's not for everyone but I enjoy this style of hunting the most.
