You say you will soon find out , do you have plans to train one to hunt hogs , I would think they have the ability to do this , keep us updated on your journey , they find people , drugs , ect , it all takes work , I wish you the best

Catching and baying hogs is a lot more then just having the ability to smell. All dogs can smell a hog track. Most don't know what to do when they get to the end of the track.

Just my two cents on my personal experience in working with GSD's....
They make for some great man biters aka law enforcement dogs, and trackers, and family dogs......but MOST (not saying all) that I have dealt with in a medical setting, had TERRIBLE pain tolerance. I'm talkin, yelpin and yippin when they get vaccines, or blood drawn, or anything where they feel anything, lol. So I'd HATE to see what one would do should it actually get struck by a hog out in the woods while tracking or baying. I just wouldn't count on one to hang in there if shat gets real, lol.

There are exceptions but Shepards are driving dogs that tend to push hogs by putting too much pressure on the rear of a hog. I wish you luck but I would stick with natural stock dogs for hogs and Shepards for man trackers and police work. Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.
