Times two on silverton... Well rounded list.

I'll add to the list another trait I love to see in a cowdog, that I believe a hog dog should possess as well.

The ability to assess a situation without hesitation on both livestock and people, then make the correct decision on how to respond to it.  I love a dog that reads livestock. Constantly one step ahead at chess. They Got to have intelligence.

I won't switch dogs I don't like on cows over to hogs, I'll typically not like them on hogs for the same reasons I did not like them on cattle... Some do like a hog better, but their faults as cowdogs still shine through as hog dogs, it seems like.
