Dogs – Hog dogs

All about sweat dogs.

Sweat Dogs

The Hog Dogs occupy a separate and important place within the Hunting Dogs. Specifically given their use for after-hunt work on big game.

The name Sweat Dog comes from following the blood trail of the stricken animal. Where in hunting terms blood is also called sweat.

In Flanders, keepers and trackers of these particular sweat dogs are united in a separate Flemish Sweat Dogs Group.

Since these dogs are kept available for post-search and this post-search can take place during week or week-end good and bad weather they deserve our special attention and respect.
