Cross Breeds
The mainstay of Australian pig
hunters, the good old cross bred hog dog.
Crossed to add
individual traits of various pure bred dogs, I don't think a
cross hasn't been tried except for maybe the toy breeds. Most
have a dash of bull somewhere in their linage, but the rest can
be a combination of virtually anything. The crosses add what is
referred to as Hybrid Vigour, and just
about everyone that pursues the wild boar have their favorite
combinations. Many a beer has been downed whilst discussing the
best combinations, a habit that will continue with time.
