I believe that the traits that people breed for today are different from traits that were bred for 50 years ago. Most old timers will tell you that a dog that would tear the hide on a hog would be culled. Now people are breeding dogs to be rough. One reason is because long ago, hogs were worked and released like common livestock and guys couldn't make a living on injured hogs. Now a lot of people kill the hog after it is caught so a small injury during the catch process wouldn't matter.
I also believe that dogs are being bred with more bottom. Now we have atv's and garming tracking systems. Its much different on foot and having to listen for the dogs. Which also brings me to the point of people are now breeding silent dogs instead of open dogs. Now before anyone says anything, I know that a lot of people still do hunt and prefer open dogs, and loose baying dogs and short range dogs. Im just saying that now there are a whole range of possibilities to breed for.
