I hunt with similar type dogs that Black Streak does. You can look at some of my old posts to see them. My opinion on mine is this - they are a tool in my toolbox while hunting. I can honestly say that 100% I drop them in an open field we catch pigs.
If they are right on a hogs arse in thick brush (10 yards or less) they are probably 75%. Thick brush here being mostly briars.
I don't even turn them into a bay in thick brush. Their speed is negated in that situation and that's why I use them, is for their speed in certain situations. I find that they get burned just as much as my bulldog in the thick stuff.
I have run my dogs in some nasty stuff and they did just fine I had shepherd in my dogs so they had nose to so if the pig seen my dogs and would run the in the woods before my dog got to them they would follow the sent down till they seen the pig once that happened any thing that the pig went through my dogs did to from sugar cane fields to cat claw walls
