Like a lot of mobs in Tosk, spawn timer on the PH/named is 6 minutes. Easy to hold down the boar PH as well as the two Rallosian PH's for nameds to the west of the gazebo.
i checked my log and found the bite to be randomly timed..so perhaps its a proc.

he is an easy single pull if you pull him to the south, and then to the east. fought him there; was able to box him with a 85 war and 85 dru and 2 tier 3 cleric mercs.
Boxed this guy with 85 ranger 85 sk and two tier 1 mercs. He wasnt that hard harmony arrow his sorry but to center of the ring. gang aggro with sk HT deflect load dots. 10 sec later you take some damage clrs heal you mob falls over dead really easy kill. just have to make sure you dmg reductions are up and working stack skin with third spire when thats gone pop tome easiest named to kill on the bottom floor.
This li'l doggie hasn't had his shots! His bite inflicts rabies (your tank will see a dot icon, something like "Rabid Bite") which lasts 5 ticks and hits for 5160 a tick. In fact, the log shows several hits of 5160 one second apart so I'm not sure if it's per tick or if you get some front-loaded damage and then a couple of delayed. During a 3-min fight my tank got "bitten" twice. Each time there were 5 hits of 5160 each which stopped 30 seconds after the first.
Be alert for this since 5 instant hits of 5160 could be fatal!
I didn't notice it until I checked the log so not sure how curable it is.
Dog did 322872 HP of damage to my warrior in 3 minutes 11 seconds for a dps of 2242 per sec. That's with defensive on the whole fight. Warrior is 84 with 3700 buffed AC and most defensive/avoidance aa's.
Without the "infection" his average dps was 1873. Max melee hit from the dog was 3512, lower than I would have expected since it's quite a bit lower than nameds in Field of Scale.
Radiant Cure 9 cured it, while several hits of cleric group heal (with cure component) did not. I suspect it's similar to tash in that it has a generic counter that regular cures will not remedy. I'll try again at some point with RC3 to see if that does the trick as well.
