Dog caught hogs...Show'em

I will share a story on this thread if you guys don't mind since this kinda goes along with the loose vs Ruff discussion.

About 17 yrs ago I went to a guys house that I heard had a couple Youngs dogs for sale. He had a black gyps and a yellow dog both about 14 mths old. He went on to te.me how the yellow dog wasn't very rough and wasn't coming along very good. Very honest guy. He then went on to tell me how nice the black gyps was. She was rough as they come and would find a easy hog and catch it as soon as company got there. She had only found a handfull. I remember asking him."how big does a hog have to be before she'll back up and bay?" He said "she won't, she is a bad huzzy." I personally didn't like rough dogs and still don't but I figured she would back up when I ran her with my looser dogs and she sounded much better prospect than the yellow dog. He priced the black gyps at 300 and 200 for the yellow dog so I spent the extra 100 for the better sounding prospect. Within 3 hrs of taking ownership of the bad azs little back female I had her in the woods with my dogs. Well sure enough one of my dogs bayed a pretty good boar about 600yds away and the black gyps and my other dog blew in that direction and sure enough as soon as she got there she started a fight and them three caught the boar. About a 175-190 lb boar with about an inch hanging out. He cut her and one of the other dogs but I knew he wasn't truly a dog killer so I decided to see how the gyp would do alone on a hog that could surely whip her back. I tied my two back about 200 yards and went back and released the hog in the creek they had caugot him in. He trotted down the dry Creek bed and I turned the female right behind him. He turned and plowed her and that was the end of her roughness. In fact she would not even go back and bark at him. The hog stood there in the creek and she stood on the bank by me. I laughed to myself and turned and walked back to my other dogs and she politely followed me all the way back to the truck. Now the moral to the story is tons of dogs look great in a fight with company and they can clearly win but hog dogs are the ones that keep hammering when there's no other dogs to turn to and the hog is too much to overpower. I called the guy back and told him that I felt like I had bought the dog fair and square a dog she was my dog but I would trade herror for the yellow dog. I didn't tell him why I didn't like her or what had happened. I just simply explained I would take the 100 loss and trade dog for dog and he agreed while saying "I'm telling you, your making a mistake. She's better than this yellow dog." Well the yellow dog got lead poisoning a few weeks later and I'm sure the black gyps mauled hogs with her buddies until she was finally killed, I guess. Who's knows? Now I have seen top of the line rough dogs and loose dogs so that has nothing to do with the overall quality of the dog but the alligators packs can hide a "pile on cull" for a long time if a guy don't know what he's looking for.
