I don't mind a little mouth in my dogs, in these mtns it's kinda prefered. but just a little, i like just enough mouth to tell which direction they are going, that's why i like the crosses. i don't want a hog dog that can run a three day old track, or that is too mouthy on track, so i cross them with the curs. i havn't been making these crosses very long, bout 4 yrs, the first time was accidental breeding, tied my hound female too close to my mtn cur,
i kept two to start on hogs, just to see how they would turn out, well to make a long story short, i put them in the bay pen bout twice and took them too the woods, @ 10 months old, male pup struck out of the box, turned them loose and had a 80# sow caught in 5 mins. and every time i took them after that, exept once. sold them, so now i am starting over. this is first time crossing with these catahoulas so not sure what too expect.
