ill agree races r longer with hounds because when they get after something there bred to run him till they tree the game or bay it.curs r bred to run it out of sight and come back and let u pet them and luv on them and brag how good they r.then u can tell all ur buddies how good they r an how they shut them damn hogs down an never say a word on track.the army should have got sum of them good texas curs u guys got an took them with them win they were looking for bin laden they would have caught his ass a long time ago an he would have never knew the were coming.lol.
