Cow dogs in my country had better have as much hunting range as any ones hog dogs. A good handler can and will control the range of his dogs while hunting for cattle so I have never understood the adage that cow dogs are short range or lack hunt because in a quality cow dog that simply is not true. Are there short range cow dogs with not much hunt, I am sure there are but they are culls in my book.
I raise dogs to do both jobs and they have got to be darn good at both to stay here. The job description for a cow dog is much more difficult than being a hog dog. So I find the opposite to be true, a dog that can't quite make the grade as a cow dog might make someone else a very nice hog dog. I will not keep a dog let alone breed a dog that is not gifted at both cattle work and hog hunting. But the cow dog job is the tuffer of the two and harder to produce.
