Here we go with that cur dog crap again. Cur can do this and that come start living reality. Curs r good but there not the best. To some people they r cause they've never seen nothing better. Jmo
It's all opinions from here on out , but maybe you just haven't hunted with the right cur dogs to feel the way you do.
I'm personally a cur dog man, but I like cold dogs, so hounds aren't out of the picture, but I've seen enough cur dogs that could trail with some of the better hounds out there, so I'll keep trying to raise a cur dog that suits me.
As usual we are on the same page! well said sir.
