Ridgebacks as hog dogs

We have a 130lbs Bull Mastiff that we hunt with and the body shape and lenght are the same. That is what I was saying about the Afican dogs being built like the Mastiff. From talking with some of the old breeders they say the Mastiff was one of the last dogs that went into the ridgeback.(Red color Black muzzle) The American dogs I have been around where thiner in the chest, and 80lbs to 90lbs. If I was going to get a Ridgeback I would make sure it had a big head that looked Mastiff. One thing stayed the same weather American or African dogs they all winded, and seemed to not be fooled by old trails. They are not long range dogs and dont spend much time out hunting for a hog. All that I have hunted would stay close until they winded a hog. If you are used to hounds and curs this takes some getting used to.
