Hog Islands are a bit smaller than Colombians, not dwarfs but are of a lighter build than Colombians. Males are usually around 4-5'. I have had a 6' male Hog. Females are usually a bit over 6'. You should not have a hard time handling any Hog Island due to their slight build. My 9 yr old female is about 12 lbs.

Next, with some of the purer Hogs, I have noticed that they do not like to switch over to F/T as willingly as a Colombian, but they always do eventually. I have never had an issue with one refusing live though.

And the correct spelling is Hog with one "G".
