Old Hog Dogs

I was going to start a thread that was titled “ A DOUBLE SHOT OF TESTOSTERONE “...but this thread will do

I have a young dog that is solid bone and muscle and he can go and go in the heat or the 2.5 months of laying up cause of deer season...he was fresh and ready to keep hunting after the other dogs needed help coming out of the woods...even with the major injury he received...obviously not in a critical area...I’ve had to learn how to handle this dog...he will be one of those that will look and act young at ten...

I had another one years ago of the same type but a little more manageable...his name was Smoke but I called him Thunderheart...back then I tested for speed and stamina and he could outlast my lead dog in stamina...both dogs were almost equal in all areas but Smoke was a little more muscled out naturally...smoke looked and hunted like a five year old dog at ten...
