There is a big deference in the pen and the woods,from my experience alot of great pen dogs are just pen dogs , with very few exceptions, some might stumble on a hog in the woods if he's lucky, personally never really seen a awesome pen dog that was a awesome woods dog, But I have planned to change that. Every dog I own will find his own hog, including my good pen dogs, I like to start all my dogs in the pen, have a handle, and then beat the brush with them, if a dog is good in the pen and in the woods you have something that most don't look at it this way, finding and slamming swine is great and alot of fun, and the dog did his job, and then you take the same dog to the pen win a little and that makes me feel great! kind of like a all around horse you could say, rope steers, tie down, break away, and then take the same horse out to the pasture and stick it on a 2000lb bull and load him in the trailer, that's what I call an all around Hand, and that's my goal for my dogs to have a good handle, find me a hog in the woods, pen cows, and go to the pen for a little weekend fun, You talked about telling your dogs not to mess with a hog if you say, There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, just cause he has the handle not mess with a hog in a pen , trap, or tied don't mean you cant flip it. if you want to bay in the pen. I've have not witnessed very many dogs that have a handle in the pen, most pen guys wont do it cause they say it teaches the dog to quit, but i disagree, I personally have a dog that when time is up all i say is that's enough get out and she will come to the gate, She quit cause i said, not because she wanted to. Its all in the dog i think, just my 2 sense.............Hope I could help.............W.D.
