I have a half cat x mt cur that’s 1 yr old, she has a heck of a nose and will flat out run the hair off of a hog , soon as the hog stops she quits and goes back to the bike. Has any one had a dog do this and begin to start baying with maturity?

Couple things to consider.....
-
If your running her alone, the hog is more than likely charging her when it decides to stop. She probably isn’t confident enough to hold up to that kind of pressure alone. If you have to hunt her alone, your options are to spend some time in a controlled setting, bay pen or tied hog, and build her bay confidence up. Be sure to not let her get hurt during these sessions. Praise her and pet her up when she bays good. Ignore her if she don’t. Try this 3 or 4 times with a few days to a week between sessions. If she quits in the woods after that, try to walk her back into the hog (if you can) she might trail it back up and bay it with you there.
-
If your running her with other dogs that bay tight and pressure hogs, she might be getting scared by all the commotion at a bay. Your only option in this case, and the best imo, is to run her with 1 confident, loose baying dog that will stay hooked. She will stay or she won’t in this situation.
-
Ultimately, it’s up to the dog if they will or won’t bay. You can’t do it for them. The advice above gives you a couple things to help her out if you want to be patient with her. It’s up to you as to how many chances she will get. If she’s a great find dog, you can pair her with a good bay dog and you’ll catch your share. Good luck with her.

That's good sound advice shotgun, I agree. Confidence is everything in young dogs, young horses, and kids. There are dogs that are in it for the chase. Once the chase is over they are done. If that's her then she is what she's going to be. I was given a dog once by an older gentleman. One of the prettiest dogs I've ever owned. He could find a hog as good as anything I had at that time. The kicker was that he was going to bark about 3 barks. If another dog didn't catch in by bark number 4 he was quitting it. He had absolutely no confidence. The old man was extremely heavy handed and hard on him. He was there all day as long as he had back up. If he quit one before help could get there, we would just go that way and try and get the other dogs to find it or he would relocate on it and they would be there to help then. Eventually he made a good dog but it took a couple years and it was while eating someone else's feed lol.
