It ALSO goes without saying...

... for this technique to work.. you must have a young dog with THE ABILITY to stop hogs by itself... which, even in this line I work with, is not an assured thing with every pup...  and this fact bites... especially when you figure the amount of time you spend training a dog like this... only to find out at a year and a half he's nothin' but a help dog....

... very specific type of dog this method is designed for, but exactly what I prefer to hunt...
