An open dog with brains, good nose, ability to drive a track and runs to catch and not just trail, will not run a hog any further than a cur of equal ability. I hunt curs but hunt with hounds on a regular basis and can't see any difference in the length of the races. A smart hog that is going to run, will run the same if the dogs are silent are whistle dixie, it dosen't make any difference around here. I can promise you this, what I call a good one, is just as hard to find in either style of dog.
