Old line Black Mouth Curs

If you were driving cattle more than a short distance and had some rough dogs on them running back and forth in front of them trying to bite anything that barely stuck its head out, how long do you think it would take to cover just one mile. Some folks use them kind of dogs and have to call them off to drive cattle. What if you were in thick woods and couldn't see the front cows, what good are your alligators you have to call off then. A good stock bred dog in this country can get as rough as any dog alive when its called for but know when and how much force to use. They will lead out and give the cattle room to move out at a good walking pace and cover some ground, making for a shorter day with less wrecks.
The same kind of dogs work well on hogs. Hogs are very intelligent and learn very quick, if they stand still the dogs won't be trying to bite and grab, but will put the ivory to them if they act like they won't to leave. What if someone had a sharp object and punch you in the rear all the time, no matter what you did, how long would you stay there and take it. What if the same sharp object was used only when you tried to leave and they poked you in the chest and left you alone when you were still. It wouldn't take me long to park it. I will agree that hog hunting is more forgiving to dogs that are real rough.
