its harder to find a good cow dog then it is a good hog dog.i mean a dog that will get on the front end and work a set of cows right.a dog that will bay tight when needed and bay loose and back up so u can drive cows when needed.i have helped drive cattle for miles in the mountians and a good dog is hard to come by.a good complete cow dog is hard to come by,good handle,brains,heart,bottom.just because a dog bays a cow dont make it a cow dog.one reason people thinks u cant have a dog do several things is because we dont use dogs like oldtimers used to.when i was a kid we ran deer with our hounds all during the day and coon hunted them at nite and never had a deer race.go gather cows with cur dogs one day and go hog hunting the next and ride rite thru cows.it called using a dog.not hun ting once a week or two times a week,its using a dog to fine tune them so they can b the best at what there doing.most dogs dont get used enough to ever b topnotch dogs.i think u can have all around dogs to a point.main thing is what there bred to do.
