Ahhh... one of my favorite subjects
Actually, I'd love to have a set of hounds some day... that is, IF I had enough property to get to them...
I've hunted behind some unreal hounds, most of which came from blood out west. Big game bred, tall, lanky... all built the same whether it be walker, plott, redbone, or bluetick. Almost a sure thing if you've got a good track, and it sure is nice to get the particular hog you're after sometimes... then again, I've been on some miserable hunts with these same dogs where we literally spent days trying to get them caught back up... that's just no fun.
l try to look at all dogs objectively, regardless of breed... Any dog that is built the way I like, hunts the way I like, and is good natured is welcomee in my yard and my breeding program.... Call it a cur, call it a mongrel, I call it a hog dog
To answer the specific question though.. I'll go with a cur, they're just more pleasant to be around to me.
