Oh and my thoughts as I've been with lots of mates with pig dogs and my sister has them too- depends on the place and situation kinda.
Big boars are seriously rough and rowdy things and can easily charge, chew you up and spit you out in shreds if a big one really wanted to!
I've heard sooo many tales of how a fella has been saved by his pig dogs when he's got up in a tricky situation in a bush with a pig, misfired shots, tripped over while being charged and a boar has come running at them for the dogs to distract them, and really sink their teeth into them.

Although most of my mates have trained up pig dogs and they are out there as fantastic trackers with their great smell, also double as protection against big ones; but I've never heard of people letting the dogs do all the work? Ya'll need to be getting your asses in there if that's the case, because a pig can rip off a dog's leg too if you're just watching and not calling them off for a shot. But like I said depends on the place and the situation, it's just logical that sometimes you can't get in there before the fight between dog and pig is over.

If a dog is trained right and you call them off if they're after a pig you don't want - like a sow when you want a boar - then that takes skill of course (for training) and would make the experience a lot better. You'd have to train them properly and not half-assed to obey calls.
