I don't know a lot about hounds but when I got my best dog he was 1/4 English and silent he had an ok nose but really had a lot of hunt and I started catching hogs more often by the time he was 2 he was everything I wanted we crossed him to my brothers silent red tick she doesn't have a cold nose but a decent nose and good stick. The pups now are a little over a year and I really like them they do trail bark but not like some I have seen it has to be hot sign and usually they get bayed fairly fast if the hog breaks they bark all the way while running it we were able to watch them the other day cross a high line a couple times behind a 265lb boar they did get behind a ways about 10 min but the hog was going through some bad thickets but after about 45 mins of relentless pursuit he had enough and stopped. I got to say the dogs I have now hunt harder wider and have more stick and a little better nose than the curs I have hunted in the past I even bought an older gyp that's open on track we catch a lot more hogs these days with the hound cur crosses I recon I would have stuck with the curs if I would have found some that hunt like these crosses sooner but those are hard to come by where I live I have to admit I kind of like hearing them trail bark now but don't get me wrong I don't like one that barks from the minute it hits the ground I have no use for a dog than barks from the minute its dropped then comes back to the wheeler if its gonna bark it had better get bayed. So in ending I guess trail barking was a by product in my case and so far hasn't been an issue but I guess mainly because they don't trail for miles they usually aren't far behind where they been there are different degrees of everything and I could see where a dog trailing a hog 2 miles away could give it a good head start and lead to a long race but with an open dog that isn't cold nosed and fairly fast it should well make up for the barking. These are just my opinions and experience's .
