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...

I'm not trying to convert anybody. I'm trying to stop the spread of misinformation and doing so by teaching and sharing info. I really can't think of a better way to dispell myths. I feild a question now and then to someone asking a specific question such as how to catch pigs on small places instead of loosing them across property line. Then when I do that it turns into a debate about my dogs vs others dogs. So seeing the need for proper information, I'm trying to share about my dogs, both the good and the bad. Pros and Cons. I'm not advocating people switch to my style. I actually don't encourage most anybody to do so because just having the proper dogs is not good enough, you need to know how to hunt them. Most people not gonna put the effort into proper dogs or get their heads wrapped around the proper hunt style. Thus it would be counter productive for me to advocate people go this route. However, what's wrong with getting the correct information out there. There are a few people like I was who thirst for information about these dogs and this style of hunting. What not a better place to come for information on pig dogs and pig dogging than this forum? Am I wrong? This is a new thing to a lot of people. why can't this be a good source to obtain the truth and dispell the myths? That's my approach and why I'm saying and sharing what I am.
