good track dogs usually do not lose a track but might give it up if out of shape and over heating. Some won't cross a wide river and some will give up if the hog is sitting in the middle of a thick briar patch that is 10-20 acres in size and a dog has trouble trying to go in. Just some of this things I have seen.

I also believe that dog handling styles has a lot to do with how a dog hunts, including stick/bottom...
