I agree with most of these, except: 

For me there is no such thing as a help dog. 

Every dog I keep will be capable of hunting/finding a hog, "one out". 

They will also honor a bay or catch. 

Some catch and some bay, but they will all hunt independantly.

I don't keep dogs with specialty jobs.  I do use the term catch dog, scrub dog and trail dog.  These are used to describe the dogs actions or methods, not a specific job.  The job is hog hunting.
