I've been seeing alot about catahoulas lately! Are they good strike/bay dogs? I've never heard of ne one hunting them? We use BMC X MT. CUR, Blue tick X leapord, and ridgebacks around here... Im looking for another bay dog so any tips/opinions on anything would be great!

There's good in and bad in every breed. Unfortunatly, the catahoula has been bred down so much for show and pet dogs... there's a lot of junk out there.
They're a personal preference for me since i've been around them since I was a kid.

Mike is exactly right they all got their good and bad i believe if you were to get one that has been bred for hunting stock and the breed not tampered with that it might be alrite. Have tried a few lately and they aint worked out to good i like them leopard dogs though! Just my 2 cents n a half!  Michael Conatser |

No problem with getting a Catahoula, just get it from the right place.
The above statement applies to ALL breeds. In reference to specific breeds, there is real good and real bad in them all.

There are just a few folks still breeding to preserve the true working ethics of the breed. Like already said the majority are all breeding, because the look pretty and can have blue eyes and the gene pool has been severly watered down. I have been through multiple Catahoulas, most just did not make the cut. There are a few guys that post on here that have/ or had pedigreed Catahoula dogs that I admire. I currently own one good one that will stay in my pack and this past year I started/worked another for a fella that if he ever comes up for sale, I will own him. It is that some dogs are natural to do the work you expect of them, those are the ones that are hard to come by, then there are some that take lots of foolin with and they finaly come around, and then those that never do. If you get with some folks that really know some that truely produce and reproduce those natural working catahoula dogs, you will be pleasantly surprised. Just cause it is a breed don't make them all equal.

A friend I hunt with has a papered catahoula from facahatchee catahoulas that will smoke a hog, but that's the only purebred catahoula I've ever seen that would do it. I know of lots of crosses that will do it though.

ive tried 2 catahoulas. neither one of them worked, probably what mike said is true about the breeding down of the dogs for looks, so they end up being junk for working dogs, thing is, i love the way they look, but im having better luck with curs or cur crosses, not saying i wont ever try a cat again, but it would have to be a proven older dog, i wont mess with a cat pup anymore.

Flatbroke, I'm not sure, my buddys name is matt that owns the dog, his number is 352-281-2262. I believe he bought the dog from gino, but I'm not sure. The dog will get gone and get bayed though. If I was looking for catahoulas I would try this line.

i hate to say anyhting negative about 'houlas but gator(pet/potlicker), the dog in my pic is 100% NALC bla bla bla and not only was he hard to train but his testes never dropped and to this day are still stuck up in his gut somewhere my other biggun chief is a halfcat+bmc/pit and that dog deserves to be owned by one of yall that hunt multiple times a week hes been a natural since 7weeks old so all i can say is HYBRID VIGOR

I have had several catahoulas that were jam up long distance strike dogs. But I have also seen a bunch that wont get out from under your feet! I do my part to make sure they dont add to the gene pool. Ha I was GIVEN a registered catahoula that was living in a girls apartment- that origionally came from River Bottom Catahoulas- a few months ago and he is a natural hog dog!! On his first hunts he filed right in the races a bays like he had been doing it his whole life! He also scored 98.6 at a bayin on the 2nd hog he had ever seen. Ha not to brag or anything!

Marshall, I know what you are saying about those River Bottom Catahoulas, what they have is the same blood I am crossing back to my gyp, they are of Sam Mason Stock, and the gyp I have is from Tx Mason which is a (50% Sam Mason / 50% ( Old Facahatchee) bred dog, she is my only NALC dog that stays here and she is bred back to a Cowhouse Catahoula dog that I started for a fella, his training consisted of putting him in the woods with the other dogs and he was geneticaly pre programmed to go hunting & bay up ( I love this dog). I am just hoping these pups will breed true to both parents, then I will have some pretty hunters, not uglydogs!
