Catahoula Cur or a Blue Lacy are 2 of the finest bay hounds out there for hog. A well trained American Bulldog (pit) is about the best catch hound you can get. Pretty much any of the Cur dogs are great for bay hounds. Since you have worked with coon dogs I would imagine you are familiar with Red Bones. I've seen a few guys cross train them to bay hogs. Smart dog and really great nose but they aren't that fantastic in a fight with a hog. They are agile but being a little bigger that aren't as agile as you really want. The Cur dogs are some fast little suckers and bay a hog well and are plenty agile enough to stay safe from those cutters for the most part. Whatever you do, keep your dogs safe and get them some cut vests. Especially your catch dogs. Some people train their bay hounds to bay up close. If you do that, make sure they have cut vests too.
