A hog is not going to be intimidated by a dog, if anything they will go after the dog just like they will people. They fight back when the dogs go to catch them. You will need a gun to protect yourself and your dog. When dogs hunt hogs it is the human which kills the hogs, the dogs can only hold the hog so long. So if you encounter a wild hog randomly a dog might die. Especially as I wouldn't imagine they would be walking around with a cut vest 24/7.
Breeds that make good catch dogs, if you go that route as its plenty of meat to last a good while. To name a few......
American Pit Bull Terrier
American Bulldog
Dogo Argentino
Catahoula Leopard Dog can hunt and catch and their are some crossed with bulldog also for the purpose of catch
Perhaps you can also rent some of your property to hunters? I know people which do this, works out great for both parties.
