I'm 45 and have been working cattle and hogs with Florida bred cur dogs since I was 9. Stock bred, front end dogs that are rough enough to attempt to stop any cattle or hogs that would run from them. Had some that would stay hung and some that would come off and bay after the stop. Situation dictated which dogs or dog I would use. There are some good stock bred cur dogs that will stop and keep a hog bayed without ever putting teeth on it, but in my experience, rank stock will usually run "over" a dog or set of dogs that will not hang on them. With this being said, some stock seem to just be unstoppable until they get wore down. I prefer all my curs to be hard catch dogs when needed. Being able to control their catch is priceless
