Always quick to protect your beloved curs :chuckle:, it was a broad statement though. Never hunted or seen them hunt in person, and I've learned damn near any dog can run critters if trained too. But i still won't be caught dead with a half bred lab in my dog box :chuckle:

Tri-tonics shocking system has been great btw, best system I've owned and the customer service is top notch!

Curs are good dogs, def more mannered than hounds in most cases. But they can't hunt like hounds, pure and simple. I'd never get a cur, they dont suit me nor would a beagle. I'd do alot of research to see exactly what breed fits what you want to do.

Not too get into the breed debate, :)   but that's a very broad stroke.  I ran blueticks, plotts, redbones and walkers for several years and then ran some American Leopard Curs.  Hands down they hunted as well as any hound I've ever had, just as good a nose, just as strong of a track and tree, faster than most, grittier on average, but handle and behave like a good lab.  Against my vote the ALCBA voted to allow them to be included in UKC as the Leopard Hound.  I still register mine as curs, but plenty of folks know they hunt every bit as good as a hound.

You have some pictures. I would like to see what one looks like.

HAHA, awesome!!!

I run my cur with a cow bell, makes her easier to find and also lets game animals know she is coming. She is silent on scent and fast as all hell, I don't want her running face to face with a black bear or lion.
That is my only way I really protect her when we are out. I really want to get a Walker to run with her.
