Ears

I think there is a lot of truth to that cracker. There are always exceptions. I had a mentor that had a dog that I couldn’t stand. The dog was an Eskimo Spitz or at least half. Fluffyish white hair and short ears that stood straight up except for about the last inch that kinda flopped forward. That sucker might wake up today with that let me show you what a hog dog is attitude and next time you take him he’d make you want to play in the road. I’ve seen it when the other dogs were baying a sounder and when they would start shooting hogs, they would break out. Had a boar about 150 weight break out of the brush 10 yards from us. Casper (the spitz) was standing there and lit out after it. The hog hit more brush about 30-40 yards later and Casper hit the breaks like a reining horse and came right back to us. It was like he was saying “nope, too thick maybe next time”! I’ve also seen that short eared sucker put his nose down and straddle a track that no other dogs even knew was there and put a hog at the end of it.
