Dogs a dog they all need trained to some degree & pig hunting being what it is your often all over the show , sometimes there's good merit hunting forestry's were there's not a lot else , you no leave the young dog in the back of the dog box were it cant do any harm & let it out only when the others have scragged a pig they basically don't get the opportunity to chase anything else so a big plus if your hunting with a experienced pac as no sane pig hunter wants a mutt to possibly corrupt the rest <- its about there where stock proofing comes into play , say what you like but you can have the best dogs in the land but when one starts chasing stock the force is strong so as mentioned my fav admittedly it was always easy for me as I had access to e collars & have my own sheep & working dog , but the focus should be on other dogs being able to chase stock , aside from your pig dog if you can get them to that stage which done rite only takes a few go,s your away & will put in good stead with farmers & other hunters , avoid meat heads...good luck
