Running Catch Dogs

I have seen some that were excellent hunters with a ton of grit...enough that I knew I didn't want any of that type...they were mt cur crossed with pit bull...every now and then you would get one that was about the right balance of traits from each parent...but most didn't live very long...the mt curs were from my line I used to keep...

I don't want a RCD or Lurcher type but I do want a great hunting dog with just enough sense to not be suicidal...catch enough to stop one and back off if the hog will keep still and when I get there I can call the dog to back away or I can give the command to catch it again...that is the goal...the average sight hound probably won't have the nose or the ability to find and stick with a bad runner in the thick thick briar patches and thick cutovers...
