Anybody has experience with them?
I'm fixing to get one. Breed looks very interesting l, let's see how we do hog hunting with them.
We do bmc and Ab and pits as a catch dog.
Any comment or advice would be highly appreciate.

They have A LOT of speed. Stags will mostly catch but they mature much later than bulldogs. Start one too early and you'll ruin it. They have a very clean holding style and will stay out of harms way. PM Silverton Boar Dogs. He's got some nice stags!!!

They are a sight hound made up completey of running dogs,greyhound,deerehound etc. so yes they will outrun anything on your yard and most anything in the woods,thats what they are bred for but do a lot better in open country where they can get up to full speed. You might want to do some research on them before you get into something that may not work for you.

I love the Stags and crosses. I use them in the more open ground. Straight Stags migh not be very hard dogs but they will stop a pig and will get a hold, they don't like a crowd and will not shoulder in to get a bite in most cases. Speed to spare  |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

Yes Rueben,his daddy could pass as a twin for jsh's red stag pictured above and his mother was stag/aerdale. He has thicker bone structure and bigger footed than straight stag,i like this cross also.

Not speaking for everyone here, but mine does not hunt. He'll stay with me until:
- There is a bay.
- He SEES a hog running.
He will run with the strike dogs if I let him, but rarely do to conserve his energy. I have seen him BAY on a hog that is not moving, but the second it moves he will catch. I think it's the movement that triggers his instinct. He will hunt one up for a short period if it makes it to the brush, but the track has to be really hot.
If you're looking for them to strike pigs, I would look to a different breed. Mine plays a very specific role for me when I hunt. I use him when:
- I see hog(s) in an open field, then his speed comes into play.
- I am on a runner we can't shut down.
- I arrive at a bay and hogs are running scattered.
HE will not "hit" like a catchdog (some others might) unless they are moving, so I use a traditional catch dog at a bay. For me, the Stag is a little extra insurance to hold/catch if the hog breaks.
Hope this helps. They are big dogs, require a lot of room, exercise and feed.
Take care.

Jsh,
Thx a lot for all your info.
Yes I understand the roll of a stag in hunting the way you describe it and I agree with you.
"INSURANCE TO HOLD/CATCH IF THE HOGS BREAK" makes to me the best description of the stag use in this hunts.
They are rarely seen down here in Florida , but we'll bring one and see how it works out for us.
Thanks a lot once again.
More pics would not hurt the post, lol.

jsh, very well said, that is how I use mine.
I think that most Stags can run in just a collar.
