    • Feral hogs are vicious, nasty creatures. You'd really be better off getting a hound such as a Catahoula that is bred for that type of thing. And in fact, hog dogs don't hunt by themselves, because one dog can't keep a hog at bay if it attacks. And it will attack.

    • Any breed can be taught to track by someone who knows how to teach it, and that most definitely includes intelligent breeds like any of the shepherds. My Belgian shepherds have started tracking and they love it! Yes, yoiur GSD can be taught - find yourself some tracking classes because you need to learn how to teach.
