Tbob, did the dog you have come from three rivers, of something else? Was it registered? I only ask to try and kind of pin point what kind of dog you had as far as breeding. And that was my point about a runner, while some will stop fairly quickly on their own others have no interest in stopping, and I don't have a use for a dog that won't stop one as quickly as possible.

The three rivers dog is out of Ramon and Gato or Chato or something and a bunch of yellow jacket and hornet
Not being snobby or mean brother, like I said it ain't that he is useless, Its just that I was given a shot at owning some gyps that blew my mind and changed not just what I like, but what I'm aiming towards and flat out, the Ben dogs I've hunted with, even the ones who are successful hog dogs, just aren't where I'm headed anymore.
Please consider that performance wise, comparing MY Ben dogs to MY woodruff ones is like comparing labs to collies. It's really not fair becuase they are not the same thing. Maybe a better comparison is to say its like taking a great ballerina and forming an opinion of ballerinas based on her performance in a bull riding competion.
