I have a dog like this and he is 5/8 plott 3/8 cur, he gives maybe 2-3 barks then he catching i dont care how big a hog it is, but be ready for alot of down time with this kind of dog. I think that a plott x pit would be a better cross but i love the dog i have. And as far as gear i started run the Boar Bib and it has help out alot.
My dane/pit has caught some big boars and only been cut under the chin. Bigger dogs are able to control big boars. Small dogs get thrown around on a big rough boar. A big dog catching and holding a big boar is not gonna get hurt much. There are a handful of us breeding towards an Aussie type dog.
