Labrahoula lol..........Some family freinds had the neighbors lab slip in on a litter of Cur pups a long time ago.....Only one pup was tainted but he turned out ok and liked to work hogs and cows. Ended up being a very big dog but they kept him as a pet or 3rd string working dog and did'nt hunt him much because they had a yard full of real dogs that he could not hang with when things got serious.
U can see how big he was next to a regular sized Cur.
We had a Lab/Pit that we found starving on the side of the road and took him in as a charity case. We Used him as a catch dog some and was pretty handy in some situations, but big hogs would make him bay, which usually just got the Curs cut up because he would let go of big hogs and leave them hanging in a bad spot.
Down in South Texas a Buddy of my dads used to Manage the Herradura Ranch and back then he had a Jack Russel terrier (Tripod) with three legs cause one got big off by a hog. When the Curs had a hog bayed in the prickly pair they would turn tripod loose and he would crawl in there and make that hog leave out of there so they could shoot the hog.
Speaking of Border collies.......On one of the ranches we hunt the manager has a border collie and allot of times we will bay hogs down on a creek below the headquarters and that dog will come down and bay with our dogs. But like critter said, he does not bark much and usually just screws things up.
