Alternative breeds used for Hog Hunting

Speaking of labs.

About 7 years ago I was dropping off some young catahoulas to Tommy Strange down in Alvin. We put the young dogs in his baypen, and I happened to have my pet lab with me at the time. My lab was baying from the outside of the pen while the young dogs were inside trying to figure out what they where supposed to be doing. My lab ended up catching the hog through the panels. Maybe she was trying to defend me? maybe she liked to bay hogs? I guess I will never know. I never tried her around another hog after that.

Now in the last week, I have had a visitor to my barn that runs half lab - half catahoula around the Lake Charles area, and another friend in South Texas that is hunting what he calls Labrahoulas. I have never hunted around one, but apparently they work for some.
