Those are the kinds of posts I was lookin for. I had a older fellow tell me today that pits can't swim well and don't take the heat very well and tire quickly. I know better but said nothing out of respect. I don't have the luxury of large huntin properties where my dogs can run for hours trailing a hog. With the hogs gettin smarter and running more I figured that I would run some catching machine with the thought that why run a hog for miles when I can catch him before he has a chance to run.
Most of the guys around here run 1/2 pits or bulldogs for that reason. Some even run their bulldogs, and pits on the ground with the curs. Like I said in my post if I could afford to I would run an all DOGO pack for that reason. I want the hogs caught on sight, and any type of race avoided. I can not have hour long or more races. If the dogs can not stop it and hold it in a short distance then let that hog go. There are more right where they found him.
