But there lots of Cur dogs out there that are long range, lots of hunt, and can easily take a track that is many-several hours old. And lots of Cur dogs out there that will stay with hogs for hours and miles. You don't have to beleive that but it is the truth.

Where can i find one, What are some of the bloodlines of this caliber of cur, send me a PM if you want. don't matter to me what breed. I have only hunted with a hand full of silent curs, and the ones i hunted with couldnt smell their own butt, seen a hog right in front of them that they didnt see, they didnt have a clue it was their. but now if they could see or hear it, now , they were good bay dogs. Now, with that being said, do i think all cur dogs are like that?, of course NOT, but I have heard this same thing from hundreds of people. I have also heard that there are some that have been more selectivly bred and hunted that are more
rangey, and have
better noses, bottom, and brains. Where can i git one,
tnhillbilly,
its the same argument on both sides. I suspect most of us cur dog guys aint seen the caliber of hounds ya'll are talking about either. I have a feeling I would have a better chance of seeing one before Bigfoot but their sightings around these parts are definatly comparable! There has been a few but non confirmed! lol Unlike bigfoot I dont doubt they are out there. Just not many around my part of the country I suspect.
The problem I see with getting a cur dog this caliber is most folks that breed them rarely get rid of them. They dont advertise them and if you ask, they will tell you their dogs are nothing but potlickers. All that I know breed their own dogs and have been for years and generations. Maybe not all of them but just the ones I know.
Sound familiar houndsman?
Most of these guys are humble or they just dont want others to know about their dogs. I suspect a few are on this board just from comments made but I aint saying. I know for a fact several others that breed curs this caliber are on this board but have chose not to put any skin in this battle. Go figure.
Im starting to think this may be the deal with any good bread hunting dog. Cur or hound.
If you guys are keeping up with this thread dont PM me! I aint telling. he he.
The reason I stay in this debate is simple. Im enjoying it. I hunt curs but have a love for hounds.
I have personally seen curs that can do everything a hound can do and do it better. I cant say the same for hounds.
But hey, I dont doubt that they are out their!
