Any breed of dog has good and bad within it. If you need track dogs to get to the hog to bay, a hound is a good addition to any pack. However, if you are overrun with hogs that are easily spotted by the hunter him/herself, a cur is most likely a better option. Curs tend to use their eyes, whereas a hound perfers to use it's nose. Neither is better, just different. Both have their place depending on the situation at hand.
