No matter the dogs size, they all have a hard time keeping up with a hog in really thick brush, briars, etc. If ur dog can run a 50lb pig down in really thick briars, you have an extraordinary dog. i don't care how old you are, no one has hunted in every situation, with all the different breeds and crosses. There are too many variables. Conversations like this really show folks level of intelligence.
Yep...many different scenarios...even a 200 lb. Boar hog...they bust through that brush like a hot nice cutting butter...and the dogs fall behind working the track...that is a big disadvantage...that is why we sometimes have long races...that is why many dogs have mt cur are a dash of hound bred in them...
Many hunters like cur dogs that if they don't stop one right away to give it up and look for another...this type of dog requires lot's of roading or the hunter walking many miles to put these dogs on hogs...
