Oh yes, that's the reason I had them to start with. They struck and caught a bout 70 lb. little boar and got me started hog hunting. I lost my male about a year ago and just kinda piddle around with the couple females I still have. I have bought a couple males since and was not satisfied, they were not even close to my Shorty dog.
The buddy we get ours from has been huntin/breedin em for a looooong time. He's pretty reputable, and all his dogs are proven working stock. We got lucky being able to get good dogs the first time around.....
