Imo a good cur or a good hound out does a bird dog every time.Sure a bird dog may bust a lot of bush and run around really fast but they miss a lot.I read that you already hunt Hound x Cur I don't think you'd gain anything by adding bird dog to the mix.I've owned and been around a lot of bird dog crossed dogs and like I said they have a lot of flash but when you put them down with a good cur or hound they don't do the job near as efficient.The right Hounds and the right Curs will also have better noses and more bottom from my experience.This is what I've seen with my own eyes I know lots of people use bird crosses though.
10-4 i was thinking about the cross because i have a buddy that has 2 bird dog and bluetick crosses and they are possible the 2 best dogs i have Been in the woods with just seems like they just have a edge or something i love my hound crosses just wondering if that cross would add more or not i appreciate your comment The bird dog crosses u hunted with what where they crossed with if you don’t mind me asking?
?
I have hunted with Bird/Bulls, Straight Birddogs,Bird/hounds and Bird/cur/Hounds.Lots of people use them in the southeast.The Bird dog was very evident in all of them they hunted at a very fast pace.I am sure that there are some really good ones out there and you could catch hogs with the ones I owned and hunted around but I personally feel a good Cur or Hound will generally out trail out last and out bay the average Bird cross.Not by any means putting your buddies dogs down cause I'm sure they'd blow the doors off my junk also not telling you what to do just telling you what I've seen.I do know a guy that has a bird/walker that claims he's the best dog to ever hit the dirt but have not yet hunted with him.

Aw man ur option and experience with them is greatly appreciated that’s why i mad the post because i know someone has either had some or hunted with some lol I’m in south arkansas and we have a lot of cut overs pine thickets and rough hunting some spots are loaded with hogs and some of a dog doesn’t get gone and look for a hog u will hunt all day and not catch a single one so i can see how this cross could help or hurt me just from everyone input
