Pigs are a feral pest here and it use to be a job that was downgraded to a hobby due to value of the euro they arent buying from us anymore. Jack no way could i run em round with out the breastplates theyd cut the dogs to peices even a good dog is not going to live if pig gets him against a tree with 5 inch tusks. Maybe if i had a yard of 30 dogs or people werent cjarging so much for working stock theres 9 grand worth of dogs there...

But I also think (strictly from a conceptual standpoint) that a lot of dogs will get away with sloppy technique if they have armor on ... and consequently will get bred ... that really shouldn't be. I am sure, though, that you can "see" which dogs have the best moves out there, regardless of armor, but to me it seems like (while no one wants to watch either their dogs die or their money get wasted) that truly allowing "nature to take its course" would cull-out the mediocre animals, leaving only the very best individuals left, which (when bred together) would ultimately produce better dogs.

You may be right jack but no dog comes out the womb knowing what to do it only takes 1 good hit in the wrong spot and it never gets another chance. I know peoole who dont use even a yard collar but the dogs are always down due to cuts. All 3 of those dogs in the pics have tears from the weekend and the brindle dog hurt his back. None of them were bred for pighunting the brindle is my game plug i spoke about before to loose him on a pig would be a waiste the others are still to young to prove there worth but a pig dog is not bred on holding technique it is bred on finding,holding,speed and stamina i couldnt really care how he holds it as long as its on there..
