Here is another conundrum.... Finds their own hogs....? That phrase in itself needs to be defined here. Are you walking, driving or dropping your dogs within 100 or even 200 yards of said hogs? To me that is not a dog finding their own hogs. That's a dog being fed hogs and darn near any dog that will bay a hog can do this.
I got in this debate in another thread but I guess I see things different than a lot of hunters out there....
So to answer your question I will not breed a dog that cannot TRULY find THEIR own hogs...

No need to define that term....it's basic and there is nothing really there to debate.
Walk hunting, roading, hood hunting, casting....it doesn't matter "finds their own hogs" means the same in every instance.
I think your more referring to the range of a dog and that reflects on hunting style.
Disagree.... Say joe blow takes his dogs to the woods. He walks said dogs around a couple hours til they stumble on or jump a pig... Now, did the dog find the pig?? Heck no. Human took the dog to the pig.
Yes range is in play here but I have personally hunted with a few people that think said scenario was in fact a dog finding a hog. To me thats no different than walking your dog to a pen with a hog in it.
Just my opinion but I wouldn't breed a dog that's chillin at my feet all day until a pig runs out in front of him/her whether you want to call that "finds their own hog" or not.
I totally agree if you have to walk a dog threw the woods to find a hog in my opinion that's a cull I've had them and I'm guilty of this but not anymore I leave the hunting for the dogs .
