Speed

I am not foolish enough to think my cur dog can outrun a good well bred running dog but it would take one to outrun him. I also know there's not a hog alive that can outrun him in the open. I also know that in chest deep water with brush, saw grass and all the stuff that grows in the swamp, the same running dog won't outrun my cur. If your going for the number you catch, the running dog man would have the advantage. His dogs would come out of there pretty quick and he could go back to the sitting ducks in the fields. The times I've been able to dump dogs on hogs in the open, it was like shooting fish in a barrel.
Even with my feeble brain, I figured out a long time ago, if your getting outrun on a regular basis, its not a hog problem, it's a dog problem .You fix it by getting better dogs in the style you like to hunt, but you still won't catch them all.
