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?
Ill tell you what you bring your best dog just one that doesnt need any help and lets see if he can stop and catch the hogs in my place without help LOL I have had 5 people off this site come try because i thought it was my dogs but i guess that means me andand the other 5 have culls
