I have a friend thats a plott fanatic so I hunted with about every kinda plott there is the  only one that ever impressed me was pocohantas bred  she wasn't that fast but had plenty bottom and did run to catch up and  did show me some hogs . But if  I was goin straight hound it would be Lipper bred treeing walker. They strike fast, run hard and put pork at the end of the race .

Never owned a hound hound but I have hunted behind an excelent plott and bluetick. I have been really impressed with both, more bottom on both these dogs than few have seen. If i had to choose though, plott gets my vote because its a little faster on trail.

 The best breed of hound is one that has been bred in a man's yard that hunts the hair off of them.

running hound bred to catch and kill coyotes bred back to a gritty mtn cur...might be open but wouldn't matter...if you like catching hogs...

X2 I been doing some homework after getting out run cause of no huntin, bay chasing dogs. I am headed to get me sometimes leopard cur. I can't say there any good yet but if they smoke a track, heads up and run to catch I will really enjoy hearing them and catching hogs.....time will tell

Rhodesian Ridgeback is my favorite.  There are many lines that hold different traits but the original lines that are from Africa are bred for straight working.  Incredible temperaments, cover lots of ground, and know how to use there size to take one big boar down.  JMO

Kinda see your point, but aren't ridgebacks in the hound group according to the AKC? Ialso believe the saluki, pharaoh hound and otterhound are in there technically.

that is true lapdog when i was a young man plotts were cur dogs then a select FEW in the breed decided they should be hounds and started breeding for the more houndy traits we see today just goes to show what can happen to a breed of dogs in as little as 40 years or so

I used to see plott curs advertised at one time...

Leopard curs are still advertised but almost 50% are now called leopard hounds...
