Title: Re: Catahoula Post by: Silverton Boar Dogs on January 04, 2013, 03:30:05 pm In my opinion we should never breed a deaf dog for any reason. I don't like much white at all in my Catahoula's, to much white and you will get some hearing and vision issues.

I have a black lab gyp that I bought out of a good line. I got her mainly because I wanted a certain type dog to breed my male to. She has skin issues. She hunts good minds well and don't quit. The skin issue is not something I want to pass on so I have decided its back to the drawing board.
