Man those wild hogs sound like mean SOBs. I have an 85 lb. akita. Anyone know how they would do against a hog? I heard they were used for hunting bears. Akitas have an incredible prey drive and chase anything that moves. They are very solid dogs and very intelligent as well. They can also be super agressive with other dogs which means they would probably try and kill the hog. On second thought, maybe not such good idea. Besides, I'm pretty attached to that fur ball. Maybe a guided hunt using someone elses dogs would be a much better idea.
