Where are the working lines of catahoulas? I've got a gyp that's nalc and isn't finished yet but is pleasing me so far and I would like to find a stud worth breeding her to... my problem with that is I haven't seen one worth even considering. Does anyone have or hunt with some good working stock cats anymore or have they all been bred down to sh**? Any info would be appreciated stories how they hunt etc she may not make the grade but seems to be pretty close to it so I'd like to get ahead of the game a little

"She may not make the grade, but she close enough and I'm trying to get ahead of the game alil."
You'll have to explain that alil, but I think you answered your own question as to why you can't find a good stud, cuz to many guys are adopting this philosophy when it comes to breeding dogs in general. There's still some working lines of Catahoulas and a few lines that do it with style, but they didn't get that way and stay that way by breeding a good dog to an average dog.

To clarify in my eyes I've not caught enough hogs to call any dog finished... yet. She does well catches with cd will leave out with some coaxing but is getting better stays busy usually 6-800yds has done some things to aggravate me but at some point they all will if she continues the path she's on with more woods time and more hogs she will be the real deal. I got her as a older dog that was not hunted much at all so things she should have been learning as a pup she missed out on she has never went backwards always improved. Hope that clarified what I meant.

i'd rather hear more about this gyp . there are plenty of stud worthy cat's around . that have made the grade . how old is this gyp ect. ect. gritty , loose , catchy . what are some dogs on her papers ? what line is she from or is she scatter bred ? and as for lines there are only three true lines one being the WRIGHT line . research the others . the wrights are the big boned jug headed cat's .

She's right at 4 now I have had her a little over a year. She's out of the here we go "salty dog line" I know there is a lot of bs and all around them here but I like how she does. She's blocky built real athletic. She bays 6-8ft or so back but if they break she is gonna try and catch them almost instantly and when she does its not a Imma catch and let go the ear comes off if we aren't close enough or she is broke off when we get there on this is on a smallish hog under 175 or so if its bigger or a super nasty hog she will hit the rear end and back up and bay again. been cut super bad on a 218lb boar and never backed up was still hammering when we got to em almost lost her front leg.

I'll be the first to say that yes at 4 she should be finished but as I said she was not hunted much at all if any before I got her she has steadily improved since I've had her

don't worry about the age . I have rescued several Catahoula's from pet homes that went on to become excellent hog and cow dogs . if the genes are their the age don't matter . what salty line are they from the poser line or from salty dog kennels in Oklahoma ?

I bought her from the poser but she came from Oklahoma. I've spoken to the kennel in Oklahoma about her bought her as a finished dog from the poser turns out she was barely started. So chalked it up to lesson learned and took my lemons and started on my lemonade. Found out all I could about her and here we are

If you find a sure enough, male Catahoula with a lot of hunt in him let me know, I've been looking for one myself. Im looking for medium to tall Cat with a lot of hunt (med to long range), bays and hunt by himslef, rough enough to try to stop one but not a RCD type. Color dont matter.
I have a 9 year old CAT gyp, long range, silent, bays tight, tight, tight. Been cut I dont know how many times, punctured lung, broke ribs, snake bitten, you name it. I would say she has about 500 hogs under her belt, not a bay pen dog or a pack dog. Camp A while bred. Smart, smart dog that can do it all by herself. Short legged black and tan color. She stays no matter how long and will stay when injured. A lot like the dog in the "what if" post. Only reference I can tell you is BA-IV. I've been looking for a stud dog for almost a year. Dog rolls over very fast and wont bay the same hog twice. This dog was raised and trained with my plotts and I'd like to get her bred sometime soon and keep a couple pups.

My old catahoula Hank is out of the Johnsonville line... Big tall long legged block headed dog! Takes track or winds don't matter.... He is 8 years old and has struck hundreds of hogs! I like the way he hunts.. He is semi loose baying and will stay with one for miles! People on here I hunt with will vouch for him! 2 of his pups which are a little over a year old are striking their own!  "Country Bumpkin" |
