I work with people that use them for hog catching. One of the guys at work catches wild hogs with them , ties their legs together and loads them in a trailer or on horseback sells them to a commercial high fence hunting operation.
As he says for city people to shoot. They are smart tough loyal to their owner dogs. I think some of them tree.
Treeing curs are usually preferred to hounds for squirrels because they don't bark as much trailing on the ground. Squirrels are more likely to go in a hole when the dog barks from a long way off like hounds do.
