I'm amazed at all the various definitions of a help dog... didn't realized it changed over the years.
Young dogs aren't help dogs, they're on their to way to being either a hog dog... or a cull. If you can't take a grown dog off of your yard and go find and bay a hog, by itself... you may need to take a hard look at your dogs.
Never agreed with you more Mr. Mike, I said the same thing in my above post...
