WHAT LINE OF CATAHOULA???

You already have some good info, alot of the registerd Cats are bred for Bay trial competition and loosing the drive to hunt, they will bay the hair off a hog, but take them out of that element and they do okay, but don't have what it takes to make the complete package of a dog.

I am not a breeder have only raised one litter of registerd stock for myself but have been hunting with other peoples for over a decade now. I finally found some that I liked enough to raise some for myself. I have been starting and hunting dogs for other people for a little over two years now, and have found some solid bloodlines from getting to work with those dogs from the start and see what they have as a natural instinct and not what has been conditioned.

what I have and like for their intellegence, and level headed workability has a mixture of TxMason, Sam Mason, Facahatchee one one side the other side is Riverbottom/Cowhouse, that includes Wager/Sam Mason stock.
I really like working the RiverBottom bred dogs because they are quick & eager to catch on and want to work.

I have also seen several pups that came from Dexter (confetti cathoulas) that were hard workers with good noses.
