I did have one dog that would cut another dog off when chasing a pig to get the pig first. I culled him.
Hey dub, just curious on your reason for culling him??
Was he cutting the other dog off and still not stopping the hog?? Slowing the other dog down??
The dog should worry about pigs not other dogs. He could find pigs but when put with dogs that found them better he would just run beside them and wait for them to find the pigs. Then he wanted to be the first one there. But what made it bad is that he would run into the other dogs to stop them instead of just running faster. It made the chases longer. I did not want my other dog to either quite trying or decide to take him out of the way. It is like at a race and someone is fast but someone else is faster so they try to trip the faster runner. I just will not put up with that. I don't mind if they hunt alone or together. But if they want to be the first they need to hunt more independent. I could hunt the other dog alone and get the same pigs. So I consider the other a waste of food. I did give him to someone that needed a dog because he could find pigs. But I want my dogs to work together like a team. It is still a work in progress.
