What kind of dog breed is Best to hog hunt?

I'm thinking Bull mastiff but
Answers:
maybe a daschund.
Catahoula Leopard dogs are used to hunt wild boar.
American Bull dog.
PItbull
hog hunter dog
Bull Mastiffs are more guardians then hunters. Have you thought of a Rhodisian Ridgeback?

Also..."old yeller" was a black mouth cur (if I remember correctly) And I think they are also used.

As someone else metioned.Leapord Dogs work nicely too.
All of the retreiver breed dogs are good hunting dogs. Like Labs and Goldens.
Great Dane, they were bred to hunt boar
Isn't there enough bacon and ham in the supermarket without you harassing some poor animal? He doesn't come into your home and bother you; why would you go into his home and bother HIM?!
what is a hog hunt?
Okay, certain breeds were ORIGINALLY used to hunt boar, but in most breeds, that trait has dwindled out of their character and drive due to selective breeding. Most people didn't find any use in that, so they selectively bred dogs more for companions than hunting boar. Many of these dogs, like the Great Dane, are more family dogs than anything. Most Danes wouldn't hurt a fly now days! Golden Retrievers and Labs would NOT be a good choice. They're used to hunt duck, not large game. I'm sorry, I used to have a Lab, but those two breeds aren't the most couragous of animals. haha

Brazilian Mastiffs [Fila Brazilairo] were bred to track jaguar and hunt wild boar in Brazil. I used to have one and I researched them all the time. They are amazing dogs, but fiercely aggressive at times - that's just how they were bred to be. This is a very rare breed, but they can still be used to hunt large wild animals. These are the only dogs in the show ring where the judge cannot put his hands on them, since they are still bred to be wary of people. They're huge and couragous, and would protect you with its life.

Good luck in your search.
