Bluejock,
These guys raise kemmer mtn curs and they also know quite a few breeders.

taylorlaree@aol.comThere are some jam up original mtn curs just like the kemmers.
Just like any other breed some good some bad but overall these are good strike dogs with grit.
I would try to get a leggy dog with a short slick coat and good length of ear. Also a fast track dog with superior winding ability but look for one that is silent to semi silent. In the kemmer Gold nugget breeding gives a decent size dog with a good tracking and winding nose.
The original Texas Smoke or Busher lines are good but there are quite a few more. There is a breeder named Grider that raises original mtn curs for hog hunting but don't know his number. Phil Baird should know it...
I would buy 2 pups in case one doesn't work out to your standards.
Good luck in finding what you want...
