Pitbull crosses?

[CYJ]

Ditto Lansford101. The Hog hunters I use to know many years ago. Used Pit Bulls/Pit Bull crosses/ Airedales/ Plott hounds along with various mixed crosses of other breeds of dogs. The life expectancy of most catch dogs regardless of breed or cross was limited. The one main thing that helped these dog's livability was when the use of a nylon vest was invented and used. Before that vest,it was stuff guts back in and sew them up, usually at the hunt site and hope for the best.

Any dog mixed or pure bred, that was not well schooled and a smart catch dog. Charging head long into a large wild boar that had it's flanks/rear end well protected. Would defiantly receive serious life threatening injuries.

One wild feral Boar Hog that was caught by dogs from the Pee Dee Swamps in S.C., made the local new's paper's front head lines, in Darlington S.C. many years back. This Hog was the full length of a full size pick up truck back end carry space, with it's full head laying on the tail gate. The Hog Hunters by the last name of Kirven said a couple of their dogs paid the full price with their lives catching that monster. Rest of the pack was cut up as well. This was before those dog vest were being used. Cheers
