Just curious...which is correct? I see that "Hogg" is pretty common, but I've heard that 'Hog" is actually the correct spelling.
What say you?!

View Full Version : Hog or Hogg?? StudentoftheReptile 11-20-2008, 08:34 PM Just curious...which is correct?

What say you?! clsutt29 11-20-2008, 08:44 PM Alot of people do use Hogg but the correct term is Hog Island jknudson 11-20-2008, 08:49 PM Hogs. Hoggs... doesn't matter! FloridaHogs 11-20-2008, 08:54 PM I do not have a clue, but have seen both used. ChristianC 11-20-2008, 09:14 PM I believe it was Gus Rentfro who corrected me... There is NO second G in Hog Island. I even read once that HOGG refers to a cross. But i see it spelled "Hogg" all the time being advertised as "pure". "Hog Island" is correct.

LOL...Gus corrected me too - The correct name is "Hog Island"... Quig 11-20-2008, 10:45 PM I've seen it spelled both ways and use Hogg myself, but if it's Hog then I'll try harder to do it the right way :) Alicia Holmes 11-21-2008, 09:35 AM HOG JOHNS6068 11-21-2008, 12:48 PM I believe Hog is correct but it really doesn't matter to me. It's close enough either way :) SublimeBoa 12-01-2008, 07:54 PM A Hogg.... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2218/2224057007_df1f8cd30e.jpg?v=0 A Hog Island Boa.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v660/crotalusadamanteus/Cochina/DSC_7336.jpg That should explain the difference. :lol: Gus is correct though. It's "Hog Islands" or Cayos Cochinos Boa. The islands are Cochino Grande, and Cochino Poqueno (if I remember correctly). I don't like the term Hogg Island Boa, as much as I dislike Columbian Boas and Hypo Boas. Don't ask why, I'm just weird like that. |
