Get a dog in you pack such as that and he makes your buddies dogs look like crap. They stop coming out with you to hunt because the entire hunt is centered around that dog, your buddies dogs are on the back of the buggy and your trying to get those dogs close enough to the one dog that can't get his hog shut down but here and there. Your buddy gets tired of his dogs becoming help dogs and also gets tired of staying out so late and putting in so much effort for 1 pig or to retrieve 1 dog.
Other things I've seen happen that a dog like this wrecks is a time limite on the hunt. Wife wants to go hunting but has to be back at the truck by such and such time cause the young kids get off the school bus at 4:30 and no one is home yet. Only way you can get your dog is to get the catch dogs to him and catch the pig then dive in to catch the dog before he goes for another. Really perturbs the wife lol. Sometimes it works out and sometimes you got to walk the catch dogs back out, go home, drop the wife off and go back. Them kinda dogs really make life interesting and are very fun to hunt behind for some and not so much for other people.
[/ And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that style of hunting, if the man feeding the dogs hunting and paying for the fuel to get there and it's his spot. So what, the friends are just going to have to get with the program or find new hunting partners and the wife is just going to have to b!t€h. I for one am a size Hunter, I'll ride all morning trying to find a big track to put on and when we do my dogs will be used on this hog as will the other guys I hunt with and their dogs, it's what we like to do. Those types of dogs aren't "wrecking" anything their what we choose to feed and hunt. No different from a man who likes box or fight mma style or a fella who likes to ride races horses and one likes bucking horses, we all get to choose our own style of dog to hunt, just because it doesn't catch the Whif of a hot track and run it down and catch doesn't mean it's wrecking anything man. Did you get your feelings hurt by this style of dog before or something?
