Good strike dog- If a dog is a good strike dog then it doesnt need help. I run four dogs on the ground more times then not. Each one will find a hog. Two go out together more times then not and the other two off their own way. When one bays the others honor. Catch hog and repeat.
I see no need for a dog just to help. The above dogs can and have all found hogs and held them at bay alone. Any dog over two should be hunting good and not just waiting for the others to find a hog.
Reuben- I think those glasses might be brindel colored instead of red.
Yup yup 10/4 I agree !
