See, that there is the problem, up here they are few and far between, and there ain't no catching 10 hogs a day, you got to have a dog that will get out and HUNT a track, and have a cold enough nose to trail them up if you can even find sign to put them on.
TN, when you say get out and hunt, what do you consider getting out and hunting? How far or long do you want a dog to hunt? To me there is a difference in how far a dog will go and how long a dog will stay gone looking for hog. I would rather have a dog that hunted 7-800 yard loops around me than one that will run for 2 miles in a straight line.
And I mean realistically, not any of them dogs that people have that will Never quit a track and will run till they starve to death,lol.. Realistically what do you expect out of a dog as far as how far out they will hunt or how long they will hunt if you cast them where there is NO sign or anything they can smell..Lots of people have different defintions of short , medium and long range dogs.
And of bottom.
