I don't think anyone is talking about anyone's dog in particular in this thread. A hog dog produces hogs and I'll always have a spot on my yard for a dog like this whether pink, purple, Polk a dotted, short range, long range, rough, or loose, a hog dog will produce hogs on a consistent basis.
Now if you own the dog and you are calling it a help dog, then yes, I'm sorry, I'll pass judgement and go ahead and say I'd cull it. But hey that's my opinion, no need to get beside yourself about it.
Ben hit the nail on the head right there.
Kevin, I guess you can make up your own definition, but that's not what a help dog is. A help dog is a dog with zero hunt and finding ability that is sent to a bay, or race, to help bay the hog. That's been common knowledge as far back as I can remember.
X2 on what mike said...but will add that some me too or help dogs appear to be hunting but are only running with the strike dog...
