Originally posted by Lou Castle: I wouldn't count on the willingness of a dog to engage an animal, as indicative of his willingness to engage a human. The two DON'T necessarily go together. I would agree with you but it *may* be worth checking out. He was telling me that the dogs are quite willing to take on a human and are in patrol work; I have no reason to doubt the man -- I was not a potential customer. I am clear they are not widely used else the police on the board would comment. Right now he said Louisiana and Alabama and some in East Texas.
It's certainly worth checking out but I think that a hound that would be willing and able to take on a man would be fairly rare. Else we'd see them a lot more in police patrol work.
But for me this comes under the heading of "reinventing the wheel." It's hard enough to find a good patrol dog in the breeds that have been specifically selected for this trait; much less to go looking for another breed.
In any case my post was just an aside that just because a dog will engage a hog is not an indication that he'll engage a man.
