So I've been using the search feature and have found a lot of discussion on heelers and most is negative in regards to them hunting hogs, but I couldn't find much on heeler crosses. I was considering trying some free pups off a registered catahoula strike dog that got bred by a red heeler. The pups really favor the catahoula in appearance. I was wondering what yall's thoughts were on this cross and if anyone has had any experience with similar crosses.

About 12 years or so ago my buddy had some, they didn't have much hunt, were mainly walk hunt dogs but would shut one down, he had one in particular that when he opened his mouth it was a good hog, he was a pretty rough dog, and if the dogs all took out running and he came back shortly you could bet the farm they were trashing.

Out here in California I know they mix McNabbs and Heelers with Cats and hounds to add brains. I have never hunted with any only heard about them.

One of my buddies has a pit/heeler that's one hell of a catch dog one of the best Doesnr matter what size pig he's not letting go. We've used him as a rcd or lead in.

I'm in CA too and hunt with a guy that has a couple cat/mcnabb crossed up dogs. They do all right only negative I see is they don't use there nose much. They will wind a hog if it's close but will not leave out on a track. But they will stay with an open dog on a track. Good help dogs, bay tight, and one is all catch

I think it would depend on the quality of both the parents, I have a buddy that has a red heeler as a pet and she bayed up a whole mob of hogs one day, and some cats could care less about a hog

Yup that is what the guy I talked to told me too, he tried it to add some brains and he said that worked but he said he lost range and nose.

On a separate note, I am just a little ways below you. Welcome to the board, there are a lot of really great people on here that share a lot of great info.
