you need you some pit cross's I was having hell here with the runners its like the dogs would strike and the hogs would bust through briars and all that thick number 2 and the dogs couldn't keep up with them in that number 2 but I found an austrailian shepard and pit cross no misses since stopping everyone of them in his tracks.
My friend uses 1/2 pit and 1/2 mtn cur and he catches lots of hogs but his dogs don't live as long.
