		In rural Louisiana, feral hogs, their tusks removed, are used for hog-dog rodeos, in which pit bulls are timed on how fast they can bite and hold a penned hog.
		At that moment, the pit bulls will be biting down so hard on the hogs -- sometimes tearing at their flesh -- that it will take five men and what's known as a breakstick to pry back the jaws and pull the dogs away.
		The question isn't how tender your dog is, but rather how fast he or she can catch a wild hog by the ear or leg or throat, and hold it there in the pen for at least three seconds while it squeals.

		A good bay dog will be able to track down the hogs, chase them down to tire them out, corner them, and bay up for assistance from you or your other dogs.
