I'm sure it could be I know they like to use them in Australia. Main thing is you just have to put him on a hog and see how he acts. I know alot of people who use pits and american bulldogs and dogos(I own 2 myself), and not all of them catch hogs. Even though a dog was bred for a certain purpose or a certain way doesn't guarantee that he is going to do it. I've seen a pit bull that was put on a 40 pound pig and everyone thought that he was the greatest catch dog ever. But what catch dog doesn't look good on a 40 pound pig? Anyway they finally put that pit in with a 213 pound boar and that dog took one good hit from that boar and he tucked tail and run, jumped out of the pen, and run into the dog box and was crying. I have also seen the opposite, where they hit the boar and never let go. But your dog should have some potential to him. It sounds like a good mix. Just try em out and you'll know for sure.

I've never had problems with his under bite it doesn't affect the way he catches or holds. He just latches on to the ear and doesn't let go

yea I'm sorry that boxer pup is my buddy's dog and he wanted to see what it would do with a hog so I turned it loose with my cur/cat on a little hog. Sorry I didn't mention that. That pup is actually the son of my brindle male and that is why he looks so similar. But there is a brindle female, a male fawn, and another brindle male that are catching hogs now that are from the same litter as the one in the video. Type this into youtube. It's another video I have. It's alot better. "hog hunting dog boxer"

yea well I hunt 3-4 times a week all year around and I have access to about ten different ranches that are over 3,000 acres. So I always have plenty of game. I'm in central texas and we have tons of hogs over here. Matter of fact about 9 months ago I caught a 168 pound sow in my front yard. But I do ALOT of hunting. I hunt every week at least twice so I tend to rack up on hogs good. But I catch alot because I have acccess to alot of land and not just the same ranch over and over again.

Well if anyone wants to know about boxers and using them for hunting hogs then you can ask me. I have beeh hunting with dogs for 4 years now and I have a 4 year old male brindle boxer who weighs around 85 pounds and he has caught over 800 hogs in the last 2 years. He is a fine catch dog and he has been catching hogs since he was 6 months old. He is purebred and AKC registered. The biggest hog that he ever caught was 379 lbs. He caught that boar by himself not to mention. The worst cut he has ever had was a 1 inch cut on his chest. He is a great family dog and house broke. I've never owned a better dog in my life. I also have a 2 year old male black boxer. He is also AKC registered and catches hogs any size and any time. He just turned 2 but he has been on about 50 hogs already including a 288 pound russian that cut him up good. He is a great dog and he does everything I ask. He is very energetic and doesn't get tired. He loves tracking hogs too. Both of these boxers do the job and always bring the hogs down. I never have to worry whether they are going to lose the hog or not. Now, I have a ten month old dogo female that hunts with them and she has been catching since she was 3 months old. I also have a 4 month old dogo male and he is catching too. Personally, boxers and dogos are my favorite breeds. I've owned curs, catahoulas, border collies, heelers, anatolian shepherds, pit bulls, poodles, great pyranese, german shepherd, and a jack russel, but my boxers and dogos are my favorite. They have good atttitudes, are very very gritty, have lots of game, very protective, well mannered, can take care of themselves when it comes to other dogs, and are very loyal. I know people don't hunt with boxers but I do, and let me tell you. If you get the right one they can sure be a great hunting dog. My dogs also hunt coons, bobcat, coyotes(every now and again after I shoot them), fox, and ringtails when I take them varmint hunting. I know first hand that boxers can be very good hunting dogs. They are the best I've ever had.
