Grey Hounds on hogs

[razorrb]

Hey,
Does any one here use them to catch hogs and stuff? Just curious if they are good or not. I know they are a sight hound but thought they might be fast enough to catch them hogs in some not so thick country. Just curious. Thanks

Ive hunted with a few on pigs as long as you either break them to running free and not killing them selves on the first tree or fence the come across or raise them as normal dog than they are quite capable of running a pig down in the open and making a catch.

R-allot from the southwest call Staghound a" greyhound" is that what you mean? A good pure greyhound from racing stock might have the heart but wont hold up as they are very delicate, even some of the Staghounds that have a heavy dose of hot blood don't hold up on coyotes. There is a guy in OK. that runs StagXBull crosses and they seem to do the job.

they try hard but don't seem to control the hogs. seems to work best if you cross in some kind of bulldog, or if you pair them w/ a good leggy bulldog or mastiff breed.

How do I get ahold of someone that has "Staghounds"? In the southwest. Someone that raises good dogs not junk they call staghounds. The real deal.
