jpepper trip is short to medium ranged hog crazy fool. i hunt him every chance i get. he tends to be a little on the rougher side, he will catch out if he can. but is also smart enough to know his limits. and as far as the bull terrier goes if he works and catches i say use him! i have seen a few guys on here post about them, and they like em just fine enough.
Sounds a lot like my female.... She is rough. That is how I'd like them both to be, catch out if they can but know their limits! Don't want to just throw them out to the wolves so to speak, so would like to get them introduced in a controlled environment first. As for the Bull Terrier, it is a good friends dog. He's only been on a hunt once but with minimal work I'm sure this dog would be damn good and hog crazy.
I'm going to talk to a guy tonight that messaged me about taking the pups and putting them into a bay pen this weekend so looking forward to that! Don't plan on ever working my dogs in a bay pen just woods though.
