I don’t want to take this thread off course, but my size preference is for control and leverage. I don’t want the umpa lumpa (sp) but a big athlete. I had a really good dog get crippled years ago by a caught hog. The catch dog was just too small to control the head. The hog was still slinging and slashing like there wasn’t a dog caught on him. I had another boar hog out run me across a pasture with my catch dog hanging onto his ear. Once I finally caught up, the hog just came to me like nothing had ahold of him. Luckily a bay dog showed up and drew his attention enough for me to leg him without getting caught myself. They both had a good bite or either of those hogs would’ve slung them off in one of the many attempts to do it. I have several more reasons for it but that’s the main reason.
I sure hate that most all your females didn’t make the grade. Will that have an impact on whether or not you breed their brothers at some point? Anybody that’s raised many pups has had that surprised disappointment with a mating that looked so good on paper. I know I have. One in particular comes to mind and it still eats at me even though I know 100% it was the male dog at fault.
