The jadg finds hogs on just about every outing, but can't swim 300 yards across a rice field and possibly stick with a runner, a good Dane a buddy has close range very ruff but every time we get in rosehedge he gets in half way and gets tangled, don't make him a bad dog just body type does not fit the terrain being hunted, I don't no where u got I said they occasionally stumpled up on hogs?
I personally agree with you. Just like a day at work ..........productivity is generally highest when you have the right tool for the job and in that aspect the individual dog is the tool and some will work better than others in certain situations and thats a fact jack!

not tryin to argue with anyone, simply my opinion on the subject.
