I dont know the law in France regarding what you may refer to as 'catch dogs' but I do live & hunt boar here.

Its more the style & tradition of hunting that doesnt go hand in hand with the type of dogs you may be referring too.

 

edit: Spain may have more of that kind of Tradition, cant see it in Germany myself.

Done a bit of that over here.but never interested me.Every second home in country nsw has pig dogs.Most just drive around with tracking collars on dogs then go in and stick pigs when they lug up, so you see f all.Seen dogs gutted and maimed.I'll stick to running dogs on fast game.Leave pig hunting to the hero's.

I went on the trip to Spain, it was a good craic but we blanked. It is legal there but not easy especially when we were bringing dogs from the UK who had never even seen one and had no idea what they were hunting! Might have been a different story with more experienced dogs. I've also hunted pigs in new zealand which is great. Massive buzz running into the bail!

I'd imagine they'd have your pants down if it was an organised ,guided hunt in Europe

Especially seeing the prices they charge shooters .

The spanish trip we went on wasn't bad cost wise. If I did it again, which I would, I would want to join up with some local lads with dogs that knew the quarry though. It was hard work with the whole pack not knowing what they were chasing, a couple of dogs that knew the score would have pulled things together I think
