Never heard the term "rig" used until i moved here to Tennessee. A houndsman's term to me. I've worked with cur dogs my whole life and have never kept one that would not let me know if I was traveling, whether by truck, boat, or buggy, within their winding range of cattle or hogs. This I can tell by just watching them or a whine. Barking without looking at one is a death sentence where i am from. We've always referred to this as simple "winding"  |

Wow Cajun that's crazy I have heard people say that before but kinda took it with grain of salt. But you seem way more credible then the other guys. You can't hardly tell story's from truth these days that being said sometimes things you think are bs turn out to be true. Cajun do u ever sale started dogs

Once in a long while Judge I might sale a started dog. Sometimes I get overloaded & just cannot hunt them all the way they need to be hunted.

A dog does not have to ride on the hood or the bow of a boat. I have seen them in a box & they will rig out of it. I also would call any dog that lets you know there are hogs around whether it is by whining, jumping up or down, or barking, if they are letting you know they smell hogs, they are a rig dog. I have had mine rig going 75 mph down the interstate & they all sound off.
X2 on what Cajun said...my dogs will open up going down the hiway where I know there are hogs on each side of the road... Training a dog to rig is fairly easy...but I don’t train for it because I know my dogs will naturally rig when on the 4 wheeler...all we need to do is always pay attention to what the dogs are doing and encourage the dogs when they are doing what we want... We can call it training or taking advantage of an opportunity...if cruising down a right of way and the dogs smell pig encourage them to bark a time or two and them cut them loose...your dogs will be on their way to being rig dogs... |

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...
A hunting dog is born not made...
