I took a job in south Texas catching wild cattle one summer with some friends of mine.  In my opinion a good cow dog is just as good as a good hog dog.  The dogs we used had to track cattle for miles that were spookier than a white tail deer in some of the roughest country I have ever seen.  Once bayed these cows would fight a dog for hours, if you didn't get their quick you could lose a dog.  It all comes down to grit and heart.  Not every cow dog will make a hog dog and not every hog dog has what it takes to work a cow.  A good dog is where you find them.
