Think I forgot to mention that these dogs do best when hunted no more than 2 at a time. If a person wished, they can hunt their dog 1 out and even when hunting 2 dogs, often times each dog will be caught on their own pig, so they really need to be able to be 1 out type dogs eventhough they are generally hunted in pairs. 3 finder holders hunting together is usually counter productive because it teaches bad habits if your running a 3rd dog that's inexperienced. Also some are finicky about being crowded and kinda like their space when holding a pig while others will knock dogs off in order to get an ear. Dogs with heavy sight hound influence will a lot of times catch on the front leg or back leg if both ears are taken, eventhough their concentric circle centers on the head. This is a big reason I myself don't like running a 3rd dog if any of the dogs are young. I just asoon their brains be wired for the ear instead of them progressing to it.
2 dogs is plenty on a big boar and more than one dog to a side will cause the dog to hold differently than it normally would and not pay as much attention to the pig as it normally would. Further more it's easier to manage 2 dogs on a caught pig when your tying than it is 3.
