Slim, my rougher dogs (the black dogs I’ve messed with since I started hunting) are blackmouth and pit crossed. I caught a good bit of hogs with them. I’ve been trying to get away from the rougher dogs and going more towards deep casting bay dogs, but no doubt you can catch a lot of hogs with rough dogs. I have two things that I would advise, first being if they catch they need to truly catch. My mindset being if you catch, then you need to fully commit and stay hooked no matter what. The other thing being if they catch and can swing around so that they’re side to side with the hog and just turn with the hog then they will survive a lot longer. My old Dum Dum dog would never get cut unless another dog was there and knocked him in front of the pig. Those dogs can work well on smaller properties as well.

Good luck with your gyp. From my experience the first few times getting cut down will show you a lot. They will either learn from it or they won’t. I’ve seen dogs get cut down once and then never get cut again because they learned how to stay away from the teeth. I’ve also seen dogs that got cut down every single time they caught teeth with no exceptions.
