Male dog vs Female dog

The style of hunting that you end up preferring also plays a role in this. I like rough, fast and strong male dog's but I also like a good smart female. If I am running a female who's a looser type dog I like to run a couple of young rough males with her to shorten races.This is only my preference as the areas I hunt generally require hog's to be stopped as fast as possible.As far as choosing I prefer a male dog for a few reasons first is heat cycles are a pain in the butt and If you are relying on the female to catch hog's you're out for three weeks. false pregnancy is something else I just went through with a gyp and she was out for almost 3 months when you include her heat cycle.But the main reason I prefer a male over a female is I just like dog's rough as a cob and in general male's tend to be rougher.It all boils down to your personal preference and what style of hunting you want to do cause Lord knows there's a pile of ways to get the job done.
