I tested my first litter of florida cur cow dogs when scott (realdogs) came down and bought a few pups from me.  At 3 months old we took them to a pen full of shoats, put them in the pen and they went to catching.  Scott took two pups and said both made excellent hog dogs in texas, one was killed and one is TJ, still alive.  I sold the rest of that litter and all made dogs.  I went back and got a few more of the same cross.  The cowboy told me he used his dogs to find cattle in the woods and bring them out.  He said they were too gritty, one has 3 legs, most are pretty banged up.  The male and female I have now are straight up strike dogs that will shut a hog down and not even a year old yet.  They have a great nose and will track and wind and roll out deep.  They are real smart.  You can see crackerc hunts the partin line and his monkey dog is a real hog dog.  The cowboys move the cows in a group and when one breaks and runs the dogs bring it back. A lot of these make great hog dogs.  I'm mainly focusing on the lines that are used to hunt woods cows in the woods.  I promise you I can take any dog that will find a cow in the woods and either bay it or catch it and turn that dog into a hog dog every time.  You can ask scott aka realdogs what kind of dog TJ is on those texas hogs.  A lot of the cowboys use catahoulas and blackmouths on cows too and a lot of them will make good hog dogs.  I'm not talking about a bay pen dog.  I wouldn't feed one of those.
