Any of them hounds would be great for HUNTING hogs, now if you wanted to catch hogs go with a good driven mt cur.

Just for laughs an grins (and im board at work  )...Like Lacyman stated I prefer the lacy. It was originally bred to round up an drive feral hogs back in the 1800's. the original breeding is unknown but from what we have gathered through talking to the relatives of the Lacy brothers it was a composite of sight hound though to be grey hound, sent hound thought to be English Shepard, an wolf. Yes wolf because there were no records of coyotes in tx tell the 1900's so it had to be the wolf blood in the lacy that gives it its yellow eyes. the traits were simple, form to function. with a short coat(blue, red an tri) to help with coping with the tx heat, short compact body for speed an agility, an heart that will go all day an still ask what more do you need. they have been called territorial, stand offish, an aggressive. But any one who has ever been around them can tell you in most cases yes they are 1 person owners but they will give that owner there all an then some! the breed was established originally as a working herding breed for hogs but as it has progressed it has moved to be more versatile to include trapping,blood trailing, obedience, search an rescue. I have been very happy with the Brooks line of Lacys. In my opinion they are as true to what a lacy should be in temperament an working ability! there are many good lines out there, I have been impressed with John Wybles lines for the bay pen.I am still establishing my own lines an like to see different lines all the time. As long as I am able I will always own at least 1 lacy, it will be a sad day in deed when I will not be able to have one of these amazing animals. |

it's taking me a while...but I am working on it...   and it really doesn't matter what breed you hunt as long as you like that breed...but the right mtn cur can hunt with the good ones...but really I like 3/4 mtn cur...like more size and quieter on track... |

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...

Well i am personally partial to the ybmc, no big name lines but known around the area. I decided on this line because my close friend and hunting buddy had the same line years ago when i first started hunting with him and i liked the way they hunted. Most were short to medium range with good bottom and just enough grit to stop a runner but smart enough to sit back and bay until the cd's showed up. I now have 6 straight ybmc's out of the same lines or very close lines that my buddies original dogs came from. 3 of which are hunting and the other 3 will be ready come winter time. Something about a yella dog just does it for me. I do not think that ybmc's are necessarily better than other prevelant working dog breeds but I know that what I have seen from them I have liked.

I have tried all different hounds, some terriers and curs and the plott is the one that suits my style the most. They have great personalities and the traits I desire. They have coldest noses of any other dogs that I have hunted with, they are smart and this is a double edged sword as if you leave them penned up with too much time on thier hands they will get into trouble, but on the flip side they will work nasty cat tracks and have the game at the end of the trail. They have speed, and grit, and if when you match with the brains they can stop almost anything in its tracks. They have versatility and with that I can run my dogs on cat, bear and hog and they transition with relative ease, there have been a few occasions when I wanted to go hog hunting and have had the dogs chase cats and vice versa but either way it still is a sucessful day of huniting when this happends. I can not afford to have dogs for each individual species so having one that can do all is a great bonus.
My suggestions would be: find a dog with a line of cat dogs for nose, a bear dog line for grit, and and a hog dog line for speed. I have blended these lines in my yard and I get awesome results, mostly because I prefer to send the pups to those who hunt more than one species with them because as they are individuals like humans you will see that some accelerate at one game over the other.
