Lol.... Sorry guys but a jag would rip a rotts balls off...anyways a rott was not breed for hogs or the stamina it needs to be a hog stopper....but like I've heard many time it's not the breed it's the dog so give it he'll....
Clearly you have never seen a good Rott or you would not say that. When I had Rotts they were not cheap and they did not have fat. It is the genes and the food. I see so many short fat dogs they want to call a Rott. The ones I had were all business. They are very smart and you can teach them almost anything. They are natural hearders and if raised right will have no fear at all of anything. But that does not mean they will make a good hog dog or not. just because it has papers and is a Rott does not mean it is in the same class as others. I only dealt with dogs bread to be guard dogs and I would bet you have not seen a Rott like them. There are some out there if you have the money.
I just don't know about their hunt. They are a hearding dog not a hunting dog. It is a whole different game. They were used for cattle in Europe. Have you seen the pastures over there? But they are not German. They were brought by the Romans. They were first a war dog. That is the true value of a Rott. If raised correctly they are completely fearless and will die for their master. A war dog may have many similar traights as a hunting dog but they do not have the drive to go find prey like a hunting dog.
So the bottom line in my opinion is that Rotts are great dogs but I don't think they would make a good hunting dog.
