It's a given that you will never get the exact same bite force and hold as you would in a bulldog and one could argue that a cur would be more likely to release on a bad boar that's putting it to them but that doesn't make a solid catch cur an automatic second pick. Say one has a straight catch yellow dog and a pit- both in top tier shape and in their prime. You jump a large sounder and get a bay-after-bay situation, which dog lasts longer and rolls to the next pig quicker? I know there's plenty of bulldogs that can be broken off on command and on to the next one. These are often owned by people who had to put a lot of hours into making that dog become automatic in this routine. If I'm looking at an 8 week old cur pup and an 8 week old pit and know that both will Most Likely catch hogs, I'm maybe not thinking about that "hold till death" moment when I might want a pit. I'm thinking how much less hassle it'll be having another cur than getting a pit bull. Just my thought.
that is a good point...but if the hog breaks bay and the yellow catch dog goes a mile or 2 to catch and if he truly is a dog that throws caution to the wind there will be 2 things that can shorten his career...heat exhaustion from being caught too long or getting cut down...any second can be fatal and it could be an hour or 2 before someone can get to the dog...
