I've seen a lot of "guided hunters" that use jackrussells to hunt hogs and shoot over them. Anyone use all terriers i have a patterdale that runs with my crew and she does good and holds her own. Never thought of running 4 more of her? What do y'all think? I know they can't keep up on a chase but do good in a bay. Pros cons? Post your opinions and thoughts and pictures.

as long as they keep there little mouths shut there is no race. most terriers wont let a pig run if they have him bayed. and if it does run they will find him again just like a big dog will. the only problem i see is that you better have one heck of a good handle on them cause four of those little boogers together will catch and kill everthing they find dillars, coon, coyote, cows and even bear. might not kill cows and bear but damn sure mess with them if they get the chance. if you could line out 4 terriers on staight hogs i think you would do very well. i had terriers for a long time when i was young but we just dumped them down holes and never free range in the woods. what ever was in the hole got caught. no matter what it was.

We run Patts.
We take one at a time. My husband has his main male that he runs alot. He's yet to trash. He knows what we're looking for. He's found his own hog multiple times. If it's a small hog, he will catch right away, but if it's a big hog, he'll wait for back up, and he will catch when help arrives. He's one helluva dog. He runs very well with other folks' dog when we go on joint hunts.

I do it every week. 2,3,4 jagds on the ground and two pit bull terriers to lead in. They can keep up with 99% of the cur dogs

In the past, we have used 3 or 4 terriers to find and bay hogs and they did a good job. I think that in hogs that were really bad to run they may have trouble in some cases keeping up and getting one stopped. However, I often wondered because of their size, hogs may not take them as seriously as a pack of larger dogs and might stay bayed easier, but I don't really know that is the case.

I started with terriers but quit hunting MINE because they were to valuable to me to lose to hogs. I sold one to an ole boy and he siad he is burning it up showing up the curs jumping hogs in the thick stuff the curs walk right by. I have a patterdale and a few Jacks I'm going to start trying out. My biggest concern is them trashing...

CL, It's not the case, at least not with good Jagds. Size has very little to do with hunting and baying hogs, except in the hunters mind. People make up all sorts of reasons a small dog can't do this or that, but the truth is size has almost nothing to do with baying hogs. A good Jagd can make a fine hog dog.
I had to change my hunting style, because of an insurance issue with my pits, and the fact I hunt alone so much. There is nobody to send a catch dog or help walk dogs out on a leash. Now I use one or two Florida curs, and don't need a leash or a catch dog. The Jagds are better hunters, but require more handling and a catch dog.
I have had the best luck with one or two dogs one the ground, regardless of the size of the dogs or the hogs.
Jagds and Florida curs are my favorite hog dogs.

Here's a couple shots of my husband's Patterdale. He's around 12-14lbs.
