Title: Re: Different terrain? Post by: Cajun on July 01, 2013, 07:56:13 pm I have always believed in getting dogs that were hunted in the area that I hunt. That being said, like Hillybilly stated, if he is a real hogdog, he should produce anywhere. He might have to go thru a period of adjustment but should be fine.
Another thing, some dogs hunted in a lot of hogs look like a million bucks but put them in places where the dogs really have to cover ground, or trail up a single hog or even running hogs, they might not look so good. I would make sure I hunted with the dogs before I buy them. Title: Re: Different terrain? Post by: Shotgun wg on July 01, 2013, 08:00:15 pm If they use their nose not their eyes they should be fine. I would expect a transition period for them to get use to the smells of the environment. I feel that a good dog can find hogs anywhere if they are present. Like I said tho I would expect a transition period.

Post by: halfbreed on July 02, 2013, 09:22:33 am well I've had the oppurtunity to hunt the wide open country and the east texas swamp bottoms with the same dogs . it is different on them but the only big change was the dogs worked closer and didn't have their normal range in the thickets . but the more they were hunted in the swamp the more they ranged out . I think they started to actually prefer the swamps to the farm land . so with a little time the dogs will adjust just fine .
