Cut proof dogs

Some people breed that trait into their dogs. The best hog dog I have ever known was a catching machine! He would grind on a cold track and leave when other dogs wouldnt even give it the 1st look and put a hog at the end of it! He would catch on hearing our approach. Never had a scratch one him from a hog that I could see. You had better be committed when you legged a hog that that dog caught because he was rolling to another one as soon as the ass end of the hog was off the ground! I wish I could say he belonged to me but It was good enough just to get to hunt behind a dog like that in my life time. A deer hunter shot him at 4 and a half years old bayed on a big boar in Whitehall Texas!
If I can’t have a dog that is smart about getting rough and helping catch then give me a loose baying dog all the way.
It may be hard for some to believe but you can have your cake and eat it too when it comes to hog dogs. Your best bet is to find an old man that has been breeding them for about 50 years and beat him out of a pup! lol.
