Do you find any difference in the dogs gender with performance ?
Would you have any yard pictures of these dogs. When you say hairy dog are you talking of the wolf hound type ?
How long is the really good boar hounds taking to mature ?
Cheers

Performance as it relates to gender, I'm not gonna make a blanket statement that males perform better than females because I've had some females that out did some of the males of same litter. To me the performance of the individual has more to do with heart, passion, and desire than gender. All things being equal I'd rather hunt males than females for a few reasons. Both genders work well though.
Yes i have pictures of these dogs on my yard. Pretty simple to take pictures of a dog on your yard.
Yes when I say hairy dog in talking about a wolfhound type/based dog.
Boar Hound and maturity, I'm not sure if you mean physically mature (danes take a couple years to physically mature) or mentally mature. Are we talking hicking a leg to pee and mark territory, show dominance to unknown dogs, interested in breeding, or catching their own decent boars by themselves? I'll start taking a dog around 1 year old and let them start lugging with another dog. Usually by 15 months old they are seeking out and catching their own decent boars. I don't consider either boar hound or hairy dog mature till they are around 2 years old, even if they are rock stars at 15 months. The rock star at 15 months old often looks fairly mature, hunts and catches really well but you can tell around the dominate male on the yard that the 15 month old is still a pup.
