What kind of dog hunts lions?

Rhodesian Ridgebacks were often bred to hunt lions. And the way they hunted them was known as Hounding.

Hunters usually released a large pack of these dogs at once. They'd track the lion and hold it at bay until the hunter could shoot it.

There are no documentations of such a particular dog or dogs that is capable of doing such a thing, even for other large wild cats!
