I didn't say your dogs could not get through swamps, I said they would be no faster than mine in the swamps. Your dogs would be hard pressed to outrun him on open flat ground. You started all this mess by implying that if we could not catch hogs in the open, we could not catch them in the woods. It's easy to catch them in the open, if you have fast dogs and most good bred stock dogs are very fast. A wild hogs top speed is around 28 to 30 mph. A young crossbred heifer can run that fast or faster and these dogs blow by them and stop them from running off all the time. You may have good dogs but lots of other people do to. They can catch just as many as you do, in the open or in the brush. We just like dogs that are not one dimensional. We can catch hogs, pen the hogs, pen the cows, hunt other game and they guard the place and livestock from two legged and four legged varmints when they are laying around the house and lots of them can jump over the side of the truck.
Good response big O, Dean I have to ask why is is so important for you to get people to convert to your "style" of dogs, some folks like Chevy some dodge and some ford, you know what all 3 have in common, they get you where your going, I can appreciate dogs of your style and enjoy reading about them and watching videos but there's nothing in this world that will convince me that style of dogs is going to put my style to shame where I live unless I witness it first hand with my own two eyes done consistently, yes I believe your dogs are agile and can move through brush quickly but I have good cur dogs that can do that to, the difference between a finder/holder and a good cur is a good cur wi have the nose to continue on with hog for hours if needed running off scent...

Finderholders can stay with pigs for hours also it depends what you add in them ie more nose from one breed hounds have stamina also there not like fat people where just cus there big they are not in shape also how you run them and once one a pig it is expected to hold just as long as you expect your bay dog to bay if you call a cur off a pig every time it brakes that cur will stop running them after a while same with finderholders you let them hunt they hunt you call them off they stop hunting and come back
