Another good point..
To all accounts these have been considered culls for many years. Have even introduced several to the cullinator myself throughout the years. Guess what has spurred this little experiment has been the ongoing changes in woods hogs.
We have attempted to evolve our bay dogs to stay compatible with the type of hogs and terrain we hunt.
The russians have spawned a multi dimensional animal that is faster, smarter and more aggressive than any of the older rooter hogs that were native years ago. The most successful way we have witnessed in these heavy thickets of dealing with them....has been said before on here...(Immediately catch them...or run the air out of them).
We got the range and bottom. Now we are working on the immediate catch aspect.
Funny the cow dog aspect came up...due to one of these test dogs coming to us as a failed cow dog. Caught one to many bulls. (Haha).
We do and are continuing the concerns on being able to reproduce the traits. But hopefully that will come from slinging and ringing...
Ok Bryant...Yes I know I am....shhhhhhhh

Troy...dunno if I have that many stamps to stick on ones butt.

Tom...yes we have a couple now that will catch solely on one that big..no bark and some that require two with almost no bark. That being a true 300# with an attitude.
Again to all.. dont get this confused with any type of hunting aspect in mind. Solely utilized as catch dogs.
Continued great points and ideas from all. Thank ya gents
