But for preventing escape (that is, crossing a boundary) -- might work pretty well. Incidentally American-type Labradors (also descended from flock guardians) make excellent cat and bear dogs -- good at baying the target animal but don't dive in and get themselves killed like hounds do. I knew hound breeders who crossed Labs with their coonhounds cuz the crosses don't get drowned by savvy old raccoons like can happen to fullblooded hounds. Little-known fact: the chunky type and "blocky" heads of modern English-line show Labs came from a Rottweiler cross in the 1950s.

When I see these other mink guys, or in this case, pig guys, it makes me appreciate even more the way you handle your dogs (and mink of course). You touch them when you're talking, you pet them, you pick them up from under their chest, you never throw them around, you are never cruel or even inconsiderate of them. These other mink guys and the pig guys, too, handle their dogs like they are furniture, like they don't have feelings. I.E. the guy who took his dog by the collar and jerked it off the atv (@4:52, 5:33). He could have just as easily waited for it to jump down, they were eager to get going, too.

You need to look up what "wolf reintroduction" in Yellowstone actually did. They've rapidly overpopulated, and have killed 80% of the elk in the 3 adjacent states. Further, the big MacKenzie Gray wolves are _not_ native to the lower 48. The much smaller timber wolves _are_ native and they're still around ... at least so long as the big Grays aren't brought in (they kill all the smaller timber wolves and coyotes, and now you have a rabbit problem too).

The spear is a great idea, especially with aggressive boars.

Der Raetovare for sure. I think these guys have a gun in case it gets like that and they’d hopefully keep their dogs back if they had to use it. Spears are so rare here in the states it’s easily forgotten. In this video, when he went in for the kill with the knife, all I could think was that boar is going flip its head or body in a way that it would cut up his arm. A spear makes far more sense.

Made me so happy when that pit bull got hold of the bacon 🥓 🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌

Love ❤️ those dogs! Absolutely amazing to watch the pack hunt’

No better companionship than man and dog 🐶superb chaps👍🇬🇧

Bro y'all need to keep fighting the good fight

,My husband and I were just saying how humane that is, rather than being eaten to death limb by limb then disembowelled. Great way to hunt n the kindest way. Apologies to all the snowflakes out there. We have to eat too, Hey Joe, Maggie and huge family of all different species you have. Love as always from the UK

WOW!! #JosephCarter all I was thinking is don't dare get our fur babies from the Carter home hurt. Although I'm sure your pack could do their job as well too. Great video. Love it. I'm so excited to see more of Gypsy girl. I always love seeing my regular fur babies that you have. Stay safe have a wonderful trip.

I learn something new every time I watch your vids :) I haven't been to the US or Australia and whenever I see hunting videos I immediately ask 'why', but I never have considered those kinds of animals as 'pests' (and it also depended on which US state if they are pests). Most of the time hunting videos don't even explain why they hunt coyotes, racoons, hogs, etc, and even other people just say they love hunting just for the sake of it so it's hard not to take the animal's side and see the hunters as bad guys. I love it that you explain that the animals you hunt are destructive and it's explains a lot of my unanswered questions. It's very educational.

This was great! I’d love to see more hog hunting videos from you guys😃

l have done a lot of this in Florida....WOW is it fun....Thanks Joseph for taking us along on the hunt....Awesome....!

That's pretty awesome! My APBT would have a blast doing this. I live in the city and she's just a companion dog. She gives glimpses of the game dog that she could be.

YESSS I love this video! I have watched some boar hunting vids on youtube with the dogo argentino's and I was hoping you'd do a video like this one day😁

I can't imagine a more ideal job for a pitbull. They must love it.

Pitbulls prefer toddlers and small dogs though.

Well done documenting this work and the people and animals. The film had some good footage and told the story well.

why am I enjoying this, it feels satisfying watching the dogs devour a hog

that catch dog was such a good pup

please do more content like this it was a very good video and content I hope you do more.

OK. I’m convinced. This is the most interesting and educational channel on KZread. 👍🏽‼️

How did I miss this!! Thanks for posting a link in your new video :)

baying means barking in prolonged tones. the dogs bring the hog to bay- they've stopped the hog and are then barking.

Wow, nice video Man💪

As Tim would always say, "Slock'em!" Need more of this. This was awesome.

i love how you gave us a teaching in the beginning! haha i love you, you are so good at this stuff!!

I had a catch dog looked just like that one. RIP my best friend

Nothing and I mean absolutely nothing, makes a pittie happier than working for and pleasing his owner!! Best doggos ever!!

The dog at the end took a whole new meaning to "pigs ear" dog treat, a good trophy for the pup.

Wow, never knew there was such a thing like this...those dogs are smart...can't wait till the next one....

Its amazing how fast you can dispatch a hog with a knife. slip it in through the diaphragm, slice open the heart and they are done in just a few seconds.

A dog that I think would be really good for this kind of job would be a Rhodesian Ridgeback, those things were breed to hunt lions in Africa, so a boat would be nothing, plus there built heavy and can run fast and go for a long time. Honestly I think it would be just as effective, if not more so, to just use a couple of those dogs. But I would love to hear other opinions on this

Here's the problem with dogs like that. It is close to irrelevant what the dog was bred to do 100 generations ago. What is most relevant is what a dog's parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were bred to do. Good traits are quickly lost through poor breeding practices, and breeding dogs to be nothing but pets and show dogs quickly waters down what good traits a working dog had, and soon they become useless mush. Even the most carefully bred litters often produce some puppies who aren't up to par for whatever their job may be. Without continuously testing for working qualities, and then ONLY breeding the dogs who show those necessary qualities, a breed's ability to do its job quickly diminishes with time. So breeds like Rhodesian Ridgebacks, who have been tested for nothing, and done nothing more than lay on the couch for the last 50 to 100 generations, are NOT the same dogs that their ancestors once were. They have been watered down to useless mush, good for nothing but laying on couches, or maybe catching a ball in the back yard.

Ridgebacks would work as bay dogs in hoter climates. They don't kill the lion, they surround it with their pack so the hunter can kill them. In the place of the pbt you could use Dogo Argentino, most molossoid dogs like boxer, Cane Corso, Bullmastiff, and other powerful, energetic and fearless dogs.

They mix ridgebacks with other breeds (can't remember which) in New Zealand to make pig dogs. A friend has a couple, just as pets, and even though they have no training they instinctively try to grab each others legs when playing.

@@JosephCartertheMinkMan I do agree on that part, they aren't exactly like they used to be, I still think they could be used for there original purpose, all dogs are different, but some Ridgeback puppies with a good prey drive could in theory be trained to hunt, even if parent, grandparents, and so on weren't. For example, hunting with greyhounds isn't exactly as common as it used to be, but if a greyhound that has had no experience with hunting what so ever, sees a animal running 99% of the time it's going to chase it. And the Belgian Malinois was originally a hearing dog, along with other shepherd type dogs, ex: German Shepherd, today there mostly used in police and military, but to some extent, if you asked them to heard a flock of sheep, they would pick it up relatively quickly, mostly due to the intelligence that comes with most heading dogs, but still, pretty quickly.

This was a really interesting watch! Thank you for sharing this new experience with us!

Ahhh yesssss! I used to hog hunt with dogs when I lived in South East Texas. We had catahoulas, black mouth curs, dogo/pit dogo/bulldogs. The best damn time of my life ever with the best damn dogs I’ve ever known. I still have the last one of our curs living her retirement here in New Mexico with me. She will be 12 September 16th 2021, I watched her be born! It is a whole lot of fun and beautiful to watch good dogs work. I miss it so much! Watch out now, it is addicting!

Also, I wish we had tracking collars and an atv! We did everything on foot and had running catch dogs so we had to be fast. Our dogs were trained to be short ranged and knew not to go too far, otherwise we could not hear them or get to them. We never lost a dog!
