The dogs were seasoned ,new what we wanted when we wanted when we went to the woods.daddy had a gyp that new were to go look for the hogs ,if she found a nest of pigs she would bay it.till we got to her.we would mark and do it again.dogs never bit the hogs. Unless was told to,daddy had a couple litter mates,wen u took them to the woods,all they bayed was boars are barr.the dog work was the best in them days,i still have that blood in my yard.catchy and open dogs didnt make it at my dads no matter how good they were.
Folks back then would kill a dog in a minute for catching hogs unless they told them to catch.
I know an ole timer he had a gyp that would bay a group of hogs and would start toward the holding pen barking and the hogs would follow her and more hogs would join along the way. She would go in the pen the hogs would follow and she would go out over the fence
