Starker here, I grew up hearing the PA Dutch stories of the "Pig Dogs". Best description was part feral dog & part wild bore. We were told as kids, Acht geben, der shwinehunds um nacht. Be careful after dark of the pig dogs & they travel in packs. Ah, Those warm and wonderful stories of my German heritage.
That's similar to our dog yard before we left So. Cal. A friend had a baby Potbelly pig show up in his yard, put up signs, advertised for weeks, nobody wanted it. Finally, he talked us into taking it (temporarily). We all lived our in the sticks of Jamul (Hamool). He grew up (well mannered) with 3 adult female dogs that put his uppity ass in place immediately. One time a temp UPS guy dropped off a package, then dutifully gave the thee lined up dogs, dog treats. Pig barks at him for obvious racism. No treat!? He spins around, mouth hanging open "Did that pig just bark at me!?" Yep. He gives Kevin a dog treat, all is well. He was still shaking his head as he drove away. Well Kevin never hung out with pigs, so he was raised a fine dog, in his mind. He ended up just a little bigger than the one in the picture. When we moved here, we found a Potbelly rescue farm that wanted him. He became the happiest Kevin Bacon ever, with a big harem. Produced many more bacon's.
Awesome!

Probably smarter than the dogs and maybe some of the owners LOL
ReplyDeletePigs are smarter than dogs.

Wonder how he does on the agility course?
ReplyDeletePigs would rather go through or under than over, so that depends on how solidly the obstacles are constructed. Perhaps you should start him last.
