These don't work in thick stuff very well, but there just isn't much out there that can outrun these in the open. We have used her in some open-to-wooded situations, and she was able to get there and make it happen. She is basically treated as a lead in. She will honor a bay and has the legs to get to those hogs who break and bay and break and bay and so on. As well, she's pretty fun to send to a group in the wide open. Believe it or not, that fine little snout has a heck of a bite, and she many times has to be choked off. She will back up and bay on a big hog, but at least she gets there to slow them down. As long as it is something she even remotely thinks she can handle, she is caught. For sure Foxxy isn't the answer to every running hog problem we have had, but she has sure helped in certain situations. They want me to cross her on Clifford, but I really like that she backs off the ones she can't handle since she is a pet 90% of the time. I would think that a few greyhound/leggy bully crosses would be like a pack of fast piranhas in the woods. It's likely they would stop the hog, then eat it leaving you once again to believe you were outrun.
