Rig dogs

Judge as you well know, Many of the hound breeds will sound off better then curs but I have seen some excellant rig dogs that were curs. They dont all bark but you can definitely read the body language. I have been very lucky that my dogs rig well but even then some are better then others. All will rig when they smell a hog but to me, the gifted dogs that will rig cold tracks are the ones that are special. Of course not everybody wants to rig the cold ones, they prefer to just dump their dogs on hot hogs & nobody is going to pass up the hot rigs. lol But they do miss a lot of hogs. As one of my friends from Ark. told me when he came down to hunt with me, These are like bonus hogs that the dogs rig. It really saves a lot of time knowing that you are putting out right where the hog is or where he has been.
