I will agree a little with what everyone is saying here. There are hunters/trainers out there that can make a good dog a better dog just like horse trainers and horses.
Good trainers in anything will start out with the best bred animals they can come by to start with though.

I will say one thing about really good hog dogs. In my opinion, you will really have to try hard to screw up one that is going to be a good one.
I have seen hog hunters that didnt have a clue about training a good dog or didnt even try to train a dog and still end up with a good dog or two just because of the dog!
Sure these dogs could have been better with proper training but they were still dang good dogs even though their trainers where clueless!
