working a stock dog x

[Runthemhard 7]

just intrested in if anyone has hunted with a stock dog x with hunting dogs? reason i ask seems they tend to add speed and brains. seems they were well liked by a lot of the old bounty hunters that killed wolf coyotes mounting lion and bear.

Common as in the aussie pigdog world. Stock dog crosses are very handy dogs.

Back then they were probably cheap and readily available compared to now days ?

yeah i have heard a lot of guys use them for hogs down there. if you have hunted any would you say speed and brains are why the get used? i am very intrested in the ones that are crossed with a kind of cow dog called a blue heeler. i know a boy that has one that was a working cow dog but also worked the trap line with him and did a pretty good job of catching any  free running game they come on
