So...this "help" dog responds to barking, goes to a bay and "helps" hold the hog in place or maybe even "helps" catch. This "help" dog is maybe relayed on a runner, a chase. He "helps" when your trying to keep dogs fresh. Yep, sounds like a cull to me.
It sure does. If it can't start a hog by itself, I have no use for it. A hog dog doesn't need help.
What do you if you have a yard full of help dogs and your find dog, or dogs, are put out of commission?
