I know you didn't mention redbones, but we had a redbone that broke me off of hounds back in the 1980's. Once this dog got on a hog you could almost bet that we were going to catch it even if it took all day. He took a cold track and worked it for hours before it warmed up.

I have been around a few hounds and the best hound hog dogs were walkers or walker crosses that I can remember. Some others were redbone crosses with cur. Redbone and pit crosses make good hog dogs.

I think most hunting hounds would cross good with bmc and catahoulas.

I wouldn't cross with mtn cur or leopard cur because these types are already houndyand long range track dogs.
