Kevin...I am guilty of saying that all the time...if you want to know what kind of hog dog you have then take it hog hunting by itself...and if you feel confident that you will be shooting hogs over the dog or releasing a good catch dog and catching pigs then you have a good dog...
the reason I always say this is because so many people think they have a good hog dog but in fact it is a good me too dog...as you know to the inexperienced a good me too dog might look like a good dog when running with good dogs...just trying to be helpful...and hoping these me too dogs don't beget more of the same because of lack of knowledge...
Agree
