hyan, I've dumped my dogs on a 30 head sounder and had them run by them 'till they got to the front and stop them all in the field. Now I don't know how fast that was, but it was fast enough. If I had put catch dog in them, they would have caught the first hogs they came to. That and running hogs down and stopping them in the open is done by stock bred dogs all the time. Some dogs are very fast and not just crossed up running dogs. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Very few dogs can run 43mph. Only 30% of greyhounds bred to race make the grade and 43 to 45mph wins many races. There used to be a Greyhound brush track near my home where they ran match races on Thursday nights. Never saw anyone bring a stag and bet their money. There were a good many Stags around in those days. They used them on rabbits and Coyotes. Wild hogs were not in that part of the country then.
Wait so you are telling me what finderholders can't do but just said that pigs were not even apart of the country yet? And this is in you life time so let's say your talking about the 50s idk how old you are my family has bin ranching kapapala ranch over a 142 years and have bin running dogs from that time to work cattle then would take the most ruff crazy stupid dogs didn't matter the breed to hunt pigs as finderholders so if my family has bin run these type dogs that long and you didn't even have them in your county how can you say that curs are better? Never mind this is pointless nothing can compare to curs end of story a cur can outrun a gray hound a rough cur can go one off and hold a pig for hours and can run a pig for miles and never get tired a cur can out run and stop any pig that comes in its nose and is just so good that you only have to breed for looks o and there "mental" and a finderholder can do none of that if a finderholder even gets in the presence of a cur it will cower in amazement and ask the cur to sign it's brestplate period facts are facts
