Jeff, I'm sure you will do fine with them. You might want an open mouth hound with them, just for "voice"The curs are all hunt, but most are silent on track. As long as you know that, you can work with it. I like the silent dogs for what I do, but some guys "want a voice".If you want a voice throw in whatever hound you like.This may or may not help, and you may already know this.Just tyring to give you a "heads up," Best of luck with the pups Jeff.I'll gladly help you if I can.
