Ah, to revise .. bay dogs are used in hunts, but I am not concerned or affiliated with anybody that wants to compete bay dogs. I don't consider those competitions as even a sport as the hogs are penned to begin with and while a good training tool to have a hog the dogs can bay at, has little or no use to teach a bay dog anything about locating and tracking and baying down a hog out on a hunt, they need variable surfaces and to primarily be taught to track, the baying is more natural and requires little refinement.

Any bay dog that is allowed to bite is not a good bay dog and should be used, as a Bay dog or multiple bay dogs chomping on the hog will cause unnecessary pain and injury to both the hog and the dogs and the hog will only become further enraged and make the whole situation more dangerous for all involved.

Bay dogs should do what their title implies - bay. Many types and sizes of dogs can be used for bay dogs, the number used depends on the size of the hog, the number of hogs, the size of the area, etc.
