Winnie hasn't actually seen any hogs since I got her. I currently live in the city and though I take her into the wilderness to run free basically every day, we are "hunting" only hares, foxes, quails, turkeys, wallabies, kangaroos, MAYBE deer on rare occassions. No hogs around here. I got her when she was about 4 months old and she was already being introduced to some pigs as a puppy, tagging along on hunts, but my cousin (who hunts pigs and breeds this line) was fined for having too many dogs and had to get rid of some, so I took this one off his hands. She's a pet but one that stays active in the outdoors and gets to exercise all her natural urges and instincts. Also a pet from very very serious working lines.

That said I know a good deal about all the named and unnamed lines of Aussie pig dogs, know many of the most noteworthy breeders and have a fairly solid understanding on the history of the scene here. It's in in my blood, grew up around it and also have taken the time to go the extra yard and do a lot of research on the topic. That's the history of pig dogs in Australia, and the history of "boarhounds" and "bulldogs" going back to Ancient times. Like you this is my passion!

edit- shoutbox isn't working great for me, says "connection failed" and I can't click on the box? Might be a "me" problem.
