There are several Cur breeds that are good for both actually but primarily a good Cur hound is a bay hound. Pit Bulls are by far the absolute best breed for a catch dog one can find. They are reasonably fast on foot and when they latch on to a hog they are there till you call or pull them off. They suck at baying or tracking but when you have your bay hounds on a hog and they are bayed up, you let your pit go into the mix and it will take care of business.
