I had an English/black mouth cross a long time ago. As well made a dog as you could ask for. If he was put in the lead dog role he would do it but if there was another dog there that would do it he would let them. He was mad at the world and very hard to tolerate because he was so ill natured. I only kept him around because you couldn’t out work him at a bay. He was red tick colored but tight built and real leggy. I watched him and my old Clyde dog bay a rank boar hog one day, he was probably 235#. They stopped him about 25-30 yards out of a set of woods up around the Palestine area. There was a pine sapling there and he backed up to it. They stayed stationary about 5-6 foot on either side of him. He would charge one of them and the other would ham him and spin with him to keep him off the other dog. We watched this for a good 15 minutes and him knowing we were there watching. He just couldn’t do anything about it.  I’ll never forget that bay. It was 20 years ago at least and I can still see it happening in my mind.
