I use to think handling was what made them but I know 100% that it isn’t always the case. I raised a litter that were an out Ross to my stuff. The male I kept was a specimen and a great yard dog. My youngest boy and I would take him on 2 mile walks with my then 8 year old leading this 85# beast. The leash never got tight and if it did my boy could tell him to get back and he would do it. But when you went to the woods, it was Jekel and Hyde. He couldn’t hear you, didn’t want to hear you, and would was gonna do whatever he wanted. Let a dog bark and it was over. There would be an obvious trail where you went because he was gonna drag you straight to the bay. Shock collars and butt whoopins didn’t phase him even if it was at the same time. He would just eat it and drive on. Turn him
loose and he would topple full grown oaks crashing through. The last hog I sent him to he took off and went airborne from about 20 feet away and a big limb caught him and sling shot him back about 20. The hog of course broke and they ran him down in about 150 yards. He was worse the more I hunted him. Every dog that carried that out cross blood was just like him with the exception of about 3. It’s hard to find the dogs I described but there are a good many people that have hunted the old family I had and they were consistently this type. We have to breed for it. Selective and strict breeding brings consistency in my opinion.
