kiwi 4 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 just because your dog enjoys fighting other dogs, don't make it a big tough pigdog mate. your dog may only last one encounter with a boar as a dog that goes head to head with a boar has a limited lifespan or gets to know ya vet on a first name basis.

stevemac 415 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Well said Kiwi, it takes a lot more than just being dead game to make a good pigdog. Like brains, speed, strenght and nose just to name a few. Dogs that fight amongst themselves tend to be the first ones shot around here. Stevemac Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi 4 Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 in my experience,no. they do very well in crossbreds though. like boxers they are not the sharpest tools in the shed and can have issue's with other dogs, not good in a pack situation. not dishing the breed at all, as they are real good mates. {stabs dogs looked like they could be handy i might add} Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MATTI 34 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Putting a green dog on a boar would most likely get your dog killed!! Do you mean an inexperianced dog straight on to big hog?? I'm fairly sure everyone on this site has more respect for their dog's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shanedog 0 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) Putting a green dog on a boar would most likely get your dog killed!! I'm sure your saying that after years of pighunting experience with your own dogs. Kath, I've never had a young dog killed or hurt badly by a boar, hopefully the roll will continue.

MATTI 34 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Topper do you use dog's? if so what breed? What sort of weight is the average hog you are catching? 5 yrs ago i went to Texas to partake in a spot of hog hunting a real eye opener I have 3 Ambull's myself aswell as a Bullx lurcher. I never thought i'd see the day folk were doing this in the U.K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
