A cur, greyhound and pit cross.... really not sure.  We imagined he had pit, as he was so catchy until he lost most his teeth.  He could beat a pure greyhound in a sprint.  Maybe he was 100% cur.

He would beat greyhounds in rabbit trials when young and was just another RCD  for his first 5 years of hog hunting.  He would get all cut up.  But after he lost most of his teeth be became a cracker jack strike and bay dog.  he is the second "catch dog" i have had that turned into a top find and bay dog in his golden years.   Dog in photo barked quite a bit on the scent trail, but he got us the big boars.

He died at 16.5 years age of a diabetic coma.  He was hunting all night long two days before when this photo was taken.  Toothless but still getting it done.
