I have hunted with Thomas for 12 years now and those cat/walker crosses have put up a bunch of hogs. That bulldog pup should be a good one as momma came from a long line of good catch dogs and the daddy was a fine catch dog.
Joel I believe you have hunted with his mom more than a few times. He is out of a bitch named Yonder.
I really like Rio, he is about as athletic of a dog as I have seen. But he is still only about 11 months old so time will tell.
