Formerflyer,
Hogs are one thing them Peckered Collaries is a hole nuther story.
I distinctly remember that the dog actually started the whole thing cornering a sounder of javalina then when they realized they were cornered they decided to give "Sunny" a little bit of the ole javalina hiyacka.
Of course I also remember that rotten little beast beat us to the top of the rocks in a steady, rapid, retreating manuver.
That darn dog was a skunk, javalina & porcupine catching little SOB. And he never once won a single fight with those critters. He's the reason I'm married to veterinarian today. I knew I'd never be able to afford the vet bills with my hobbies!
