not to steal this post, but some guys at work had a heated argument the other day on a similar project.
One guy said that rattle snakes are not rattling as much as they used to in the past. Another guys called BS and said that other guys was stupid.
They asked what I thought, I said it is hard to believe, but that the only scientific theory to why a rattle snake would not rattle is because we have been killing all the one that rattle off, so the ones that are surviving and spreading their genes are the ones that do not rattlle as much or at all.
Back to your post, I agree with Ruebens theory, but I would not agree that todays dogs are any better than hog dogs from the past. Todays hogs might be runners, but if you go by what all TV shows are saying, there should be way more hogs around (runners or not) for the dogs to find.
I also believe hog dog breeds vary so much and there are different styles that it is nearly impossible to say that "we" have been consisten enough through all breeds and breedings to say that hog dos now have better noses, longer legs or better heat tolerance than those of teh past. JMO
