THis is a difficult question. I think that no matter the bloodline and no matter the training availible, you have to start with a dog that has hunt and prey drive. We take dogs that have these qualities plus other qualities that we like and breed them in hopes of creating pups that have the same genetics as their parents. It doesn't always turn out that way but we still try. If you take a dog that has hunt and prey drive, you can make them a pleasure to handle with some training. Yes, some mutts will inherit hunt and drive and make good hog dogs. They may not be as leggy and have as much bottom as the ones that are bred for those qualities but will hunt all the same. This is alll just my opinion.
