Great dogs

When I started this topic it was to invite people in on the conversation to maybe talk about the good to great dogs the have had and what are the traits that set them apart.
I guess I have been very, very lucky to have had what I consider great dogs. Dont know if i would consider them once in a lifetime dogs since I have had several.
I have had a boatload of dogs over the years that could get the job done, dogs I would call good journeyman dogs if you will. To me what separates the great dogs is simple. They simply make good dogs look bad and do it on a regular bases. They are all business, get gone and stay busy and they produce hogs when other dogs dont.
T dog out of the five I think were great, one of them was a straight Catahoula.
