Does anyone run stag hounds on hogs as your cd? I just got two stag pups to bring speed to my pack and wanted to know how well they work on hogs. Thanks.

My main catch dog is a stag. Use him as a lead in. Haven't caught a hog he couldn't handle yet and he has been on a bunch.

Can you hunt them as running catch dogs letting them run with the rest of the pack or is it better to turn them loose once you have a bay? or does it matter?

Some Stags are very hard, straight catch type dogs. Some are softer and more the stop dog type.
I have had a Stag or two on my yard for the last couple of years and I really like them for pig dogs.
I use mine a couple of different ways.
1. Straight sight work in open farm ground or pretty open pasture. They are deadly for this type of hunting and can't be beat.
2. Turn out at first bark or when I know the cur dogs are in pigs. I do this in brushy areas day and night. They will shut a hog down right now and catch with my curs.
3. I do hunt them down with my curs when hunting really rough canyon country. They can go anywhere, straight up or straight down and cover ground in the canyons faster than a straight cur.
They are very hard to trash break, if it runs it dies. So you have got to be careful where you put them down.

Spot on. I have a straight catch one. If it runs it gets caught! Haven't even attempted trash breaking, just a lead in or one out dog in open fields.. |

Works great , they let him run good an are tough , has saved him pleanty of times they kind of pricey but for sure worth it, the Aussies have been hunting this type a dog a long time they got the vest pretty well figured out

Stags are great dogs! They take longer to mature but if you have patience, you'll have a machine! Pit/greyhounds work well too. This female belongs to a good friend. He produced her out of a hot blood dog to an inbred Mayday female.   |
