I got a year old cat/pit gyp that got cut last night by a big hog last night . It was the first time she really been on a hog other then one in the pen And two smaller ones in the field . Well I was wondering if y'all think this would ruin her are make her a better dog.

I would work her in a pen to build her confidence back up before back in the woods. I had a cat/pit get ruined from a real big hog and she never was the same.

When I first started hunting hog I wanted to build extreme confidence in my pups so they caught on shoats in pen or staged hunts...almost got my best ever killed...so I changed it after that...build extreme confidence first then put a bigger pig to teach the pups some respect...she will more than likely be ok...but maybe she will get smarter about catching....and she might need a running vest...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

I agree with Reuben I learned the hard way. If you let them get roughed up few times on a big rough hog then you will kinda know what they got in there tank.

I have seen it go both ways. Seen them ruined and seen them come back with pure hate for a hog. I had a year old get cut bad on its first trip to the woods. Once healed she was mad at them. Had a buddy get one cut bad at a year and it was done with it. No amount of effort could get it going again.

Shotgun...that is why I like to start them on smaller pigs to build confidence...then put them with a bigger pig so they gain respect...by respect I mean baying with enough sense to stay clear from the cutters...
I sure do like a six month old pup that takes a whipping from one and gets right back in their face...I do believe a bay pen is a great tool when used correctly...

I do also. I try to start my dogs in a pen if possible and work them until I'm confident they have an idea what they need to do. At about a year old they go to the woods. Unfortunately sometimes the first time could be the day u get on ur biggest hog ever or the meanest one ever.

I agree with all that has been stated.
When I was alot younger and starting I took 2 young dogs (6 months) to the hog pen we had. They were brothers . I had them on the outside of the pen and really just went to feed the hogs not training dogs. The pups hadn't really seen hogs yet so I didn't think nothing about it.
Well the 2 pups squeezed threw the paneling and got on to big of a boar hog. They both got whipped and cut .
It ruined one of the pups and the other one it made him crazy for a hog. He literally hated a hog , you can see it in his eyes for the rest of his life he caught hogs so hard and never did he lose another hog that he could get his mouth on.
I told that story because I believe it has alot to do with the dog. But if you listen to these guys and start them off small work their way up and then teach them to respect a big hog you will prevent the chance of ruining one.
Best of luck to you bud, hope it works out and the dog just learns to love it more.
