Just my two cents not trying to offend anyone. I have never seen a Ridgeback that looked good in a pin. The dogs have a lot of sight hound to them and it just doesn't turn them on. The hog has to run before they get turned on. If you noticed yesterday your dogs only got interested when the hog turned its back to the dog and started walking away. This is the sight hound showing up and if that hog would have had room to run from the dog it would probably be all over it. My Ridgebacks have all been straight catch, but they will not run in and hit a bedded hog. They always make it run first and hit it after it runs a few feet. All the other breeds I have worked with will hit a hog laying down in its bed and never wait for it to get up. True Blue is very right it is distracting, but you have to ask your self this about your dogs. If they get distracted with that do you want to hunt with dogs that may loose focus if something isn't right when you come into the bay? Not trying to offend its just my take on them after hunting and training a lot of Ridgebacks.
