Plott??? Cur??? I don't like the hunting percentages out of the stock cur breeds...too many culls has been my experience...I am sure there are better cur dogs for hog dogging now because so many use them...but I would put my money on a walker/cur cross or a plott/cur cross...or take that shortcut and get get me a well bred mtn cur...even on the mtn cur I like 1/8th pit or 1/4 silent cur from a good line of hog dogs...right now I have pups on the ground that I sure do like the looks of...they are 1/2 parker 1/2 kemmer....
but I am hoping to get me a 5/8th female pup or 2 from my old line of dogs...If that happens one of them will be the nucleus of more to come...
last time I went to try a cur the man free casted 5 dogs and the pig rootings were still smoking and the tracks were shiny with green blades of grass in them...15 minutes later I cast out my 10 month old mtn cur pup and he struck... and we caught 4 with him striking each in less than 1 hour...they were some high powered dogs out of Oklahoma...but I had seen these dogs win big in a bay competition in Lufkin...I wasn't looking for a bay dog...I was looking for a hunting dog with a good baying style...
But I will also say that one of the best hog dogs I had the pleasure to hunt behind was a dark yellow red bmc...when this dog started a track he was going to have the bacon shortly...three barks when he located a good track and then he shut up...next time you heard him he was bayed...he could smoke a track too...he came from south texas and he was a cull is why the reason he was sold...true...he broke up bays but it was about gauranteed he was going to have a big one bayed somewhere... I could of bought him for 325 dollars back then...I missed out on a good dog...he was a good looking right sized dog...
