I have caught just as many hogs without dogs as I have with. When u hunt rice field country or any open country and you are own horse. The hogs will slip across fields if you watch the hog while your running him down on horse you will see that a hog can't run long distance as long as he is in a dead run then he cant breath he has to stop and fight. But if he is in a trot he can run all day. So if you can breed a dog with enough speed then they can put the heat on one to stop him from running. I made an out cross with one of Vandorns gyps. Tshelly hunts behind a pup out of the cross and I think her name is ruby aka seabiscut now she is not a super dog long range hog finding machine she is still a young dog. But got more speed than a NASCAR. I got to hunt behind her one day and a runner broke on the dogs some super dogs in this race when I seen that gyp cross the first road she was 75 yards ahead of everything when she came across the next opening there was not dogs even close behind her. She put that hog at bay. People don't understand stand a dog with brain and speed until u hunt behind. One. Those are the gentics I want in my dogs. Ive hunted just about every southern state. There's no harder place than the other. The hill country with Jesse Paul was probably the toughest for my dogs do to there feet being to soft. But they still put hogs at bay in those hills.
Haha she is FAST!! My black gyp is just as fast or faster too
I agree, just like professional sports... SPEED KILLs!! If anything I'd like to create faster, nut pulling dogs!!
