Running catch dogs?

I used to run cur dogs that could wind a hog almost a mile in the right conditions and they hunted hard in a circle around me. Probably 3 to 4 hundred yards or further if needed. If I quit moving they would roll out further. They were bred to take a track and find a hog at the other end even if it took 2 or more hours. If I didn't see a dog in about 10 to 15 minutes I checked their location and then checked again 5 minutes later. If they hadn't moved they had one caught or bayed. These were rough strike dogs.
I always worried about them getting runned over on a hiway or getting shot by a land owner.

I just bred a mtn cur gyp to a 85 lb. leggy bulldog and bred another one to a mtn cur that has 1/8 bull dog. I basicly want the same type of strike dogs I used to raise but with a little more grit and stronger jaw that will stop the hogs at the first oppurtunity. I still want a great line of dogs but the biggest difference is to stop one right away so I can go home and not stay out all night waiting or trying to get to my dogs. Some of my hunting places are a good distance from my house so getting it done quickly is very important to me.

I reckon these type of dogs will need to be cow broke before they hit the woods because these type will do some damage to a cow or calf...

I just ran into a friend last night that has hog hunted for many years and between him and 2 other friends have bred bmc's for years. They just bred 5 of their females to a 90 lb. leggy bull dog for the same reasons. Next year they will be running a few strike dogs and several RCD's. I believe they have the right Idea. Breed as many females to the bulldog and select wisely from a large selection of pups.

Another friend of mine uses mtn cur that he got from me and bred in about 1/4 or 1/8 pit and he catches more hogs than I ever did with my pure breds...

I am not saying this is the right way or the only way but we have formed this opinion over the years.
