Well I watch Nat ( a lady who hunts pigs on YT who has a similar height and build to me ) and she hunts with a team of two. I figure that with two hounds there would be more control of the pig from both sides while I pull front and hind legs, lay them down for the stick. Of course I may be way off base here.
Back in the day all I heard of in regards to sheer lugging power was dane/ mastiff crosses. The hairy dogs had wolf hound blood.
I'm a HUGE fan of a massive red dog on one of the YT channels called Max who hits like a freight train and just doesn't quit. I believe he's a mastiff, dane ridgeback cross.
On another channel there is a large dark brindle dog called Paddles that that has a lot of Go Pro footage. I believe he is a Arab, X maybe?
Since I've been on this site I have to say I have fallen in love with Shady Bullarab's white and tan dog that he has documented with posts and pics since he was a pup.. What a stunning animal!!
Maybe it would be best to find a breeder who I can buy pups from who can start them with their own pack before sending them to me. I would hate to destroy the potential of first class pups with my lack of experience in starting them. Maybe they can train me as well.......if they're close enough.
