Hound vs cur

Agree with Reuben. There are good examples of both.

I currently hunt a full blood hound on Coon. I enjoy hearing a hound trail one up, locate, stay treed, and have the grease. I like their hunt, independent/indifferent attitude, the big mouth, and determination to finish what they start. It takes time, repetition, and patience to start, train, and finish a hound. It’s also nice to just throw a tracking collar on one dog to go hunt & catch/tree game. My experience tells me that I would need more time to hunt and bigger places to hunt in order to run full blooded hounds on hogs. Those luxuries are not available to me.

I hunt curs & catahoula running walker crosses on hogs for my find/bay dogs. I like the handle and silent trailing these dogs provide me. They learn fast and don’t require a lot of woods time to start, train, & finish. I can pretty much control how and where these dogs hunt.

Some of the best hog dogs I have seen go are hound/cur crosses. I hope to try some 3/4 cur, 1/4 hound or even 7/8 cur, 1/8 hounds on hogs at some point.
