HOUNDS!

All the lipper dogs I've seen have been black head dogs with black ears and black on their face. Are they all like this also I see that a lot of them are long legged and heavy dogs, I'm just worried about them being to big to be baying on a hog. I'm interested in them because I know of a guy who has a litter and will let me get a pup and I know the daddy to that litter have hunted with him and he is a good dog, but he isn't a huge dog. But I had a lipper/nacturnal nailer dog and I got raid of him because he was so big and he wasn't extremely slow but was the slowest out of my pack. I just don't want to judge all lipper dogs just off mine that I had I'd like to know a little bit more about all of them.
