A bird/bull. A bird dog crossed with a pit. If u breed a well bred bird dog and a gamey pit I guarantee that you'll produce hog dogs , guaranteed. Usually good winders and trailers plus plenty come out real rough.

I will have to say I have seen quite a few people go get a birdog from a quail hunting outfit that they didn't want and breed that dog to a pit and have made some fine hog dogs. Like buddy said I have never known of at least a couple to make decent dogs. Typically German short hairs and English elhew pointers.

I have to agree on the bird dog.  A good GSP will add nose, prey drive and energy to any breed.  I owned a pure GSP that was a great strike dog only thing he was lacking in was bottom.  I currently have an 18 month male out of him and a rough YBMC gyp, that is burning the woods down for his age. Hard to go wrong with good GSP blood.  GSP breeders historically are probably the most discipled working dog breeders ever. I know that's a bold statement, but just do the research on the breed and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Go with a bird dog, crossed to a plott. Then get a Airedale and cross it with a redbone then cross those pups up again. Then get you a couple well bred curs and rent a backhoe to dig a big hole
And bury all the bird,hound,Airedale,redbone mutts and their parents...

How bout some well bred Cur dogs that are actually hog dogs. That way when you breed a hogdog to a hogdog, it helps create a few more hogdogs.

It's a proven fact hound crosses are superior to straight cur dogs!

I think lots and lots of folks agree with you and that's just fine. I hope almost all hog hunters start chasing after hybrid vigor. There are some truly incredible hound cross dogs out there, but the trick to em is consistently bad ace well bred dogs on both sides of the tree.

I have a feeling that in a private conversation you and I would both agree that most average crosses are crap bred to crap that may produce 1 flash in the pan, with the rest of the litter being just more crap average dogs.

I agree with you TBob. Im not gonna lie I wished i had a yard full of yellow cur dogs that were top notch hog dogs. I personally have never had the opportunity to hunt with such dogs. So im not saying their not out there as im sure they are. But i have witnessed what i call the best hog dogs i have seen and had the pleasure of hunting behind and they are crosses. These dogs in my eyes are exceptional in all phases of the hunt and will quickly make you take a long look at what kind of dog's your hunting. They will also make you think twice about what you call a hog dog. I know i have culled a lot of dogs since hunting with these dogs!
