In Oz boar/feral pigs eating lambs are a big loss maker...

I must say I am less interested in hound-like dogs, but I kinda felt I need to meet their owner to have some pics, haha.

There are mostly Teckels, smaller type terriers (Foxterriers, Jagdterriers, Welsh terriers and their mixes) and hounds (Kopov) used on hunts where I have visited.
But at some boar hunts they also use bigger type dogs, like this Rhodesian Ridgeback. The pics were taken last year:

 

...but then, when the boar turns around, it may not be a good idea:

 

(sorry for the pic quality, I stood too close to the action with a telezoom lens.)

Mostly any type can be taken, but smaller types are much more welcome. Big and strong dogs are not beloved by the hunting clubs, but as soon as the dog prooves that it does the job well (does not try to kill the boars by themselves and are not too violent), they are welcome.

 

Dogs can also practice in wild boar garten, so both owner and dog can know what to expect at a wild boar hunt.

What a thread D'n'N did your bull cross make the trip?

Was it expensive hunt if you don't mind me asking ATB Roy

No, I didn't take old Bud this time, as he's terrible for 'pegging' game before it makes the gun line! But he has ventured out into Europe a few times previously with good results. He is getting on now, and suffers a bit with old leg injuries.

 

As a paying rifle, it can run quite expensive, depending on what you shoot. As a beater, you get a small pay packet, just like here in the UK really. The cost was mainly diesel, as we drove out.

 

All the best
