which dog is finding???

well ive got some buddies that think differently about the dog that barks first has found the hog. ive got a 1 1/2 old black mouth with a touch of hound somewhere way down the line. that dog has always opened first on every hog ive caught since i started hunting him. whether im hunting with just my dogs (none are finished) or my buddies "finished" dogs. they catch plenty of hogs without me and me without them. but together my pup has always opened first. they give the credit to their dogs every time. i dont argue to keep the peace. dog hunting has got to be the most competitive sport there is. and brings out the worst in some people. honestly, i can't care less whos dog found what. im having a blast regardless.
