Pig dogs will surround the hog and take turns harassing and distracting it...
They must be big dogs 50 pounds or more...
They should wear heavy leather vests to help protect them from tusking...
It is not uncommon to lose a dog on a pig hunt... to tusking... don't get too attached to 'em...
Large hounds and Staffordshire Terriers (This is the British Breed of the American Pit-bull.) and Pit-bulls are among the best...
Too many dogs in the pack and they will get in each others way...
Too few, and the pig will run off between them... 4 or 5 is about right.
