I know it probably doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but how many of you have had personal experience with cur dogs with double glass eyes turn out? What are your thoughts on them overall? The line of crackers curs I have, the family has been trying to breed out the cat traits (color) for years, but I have grown to like them and have dogs work just fine. But I've never had a dog with two glass eyes. It's funny the mother is mostly white except for some tan on her face (cracker cur), the father is a outcross redbone/BMC which looks like a BMC but solid red in color like your typical redbone. Got 9 puppies to pick from..... decisions, decisions. Thanks in advance.

Glass eyes and merle coat colors are a curse to any breed who possess them.

Merle coat commwnt I disagree with, my pack have proven that wrong, but can’t say much about the double glass eyes. Maybe you can be more specific?

Your pack has not proven that wrong, I don't think you understand the comment. I am not saying that dogs with merle coats or glass eyes aren't good, I am saying these traits are a curse to any breed that carries them. The reason I say that is because they attract the wrong people to the breed and before you know it people are breeding for the coat and eye color instead of hunting ability. That is why the overall quality of the catahoula has gone down imo. Can you still get good catahoulas, yes you sure can but you have to be way more careful about where you get them from to weed through all of the culls that were bred for eye or coat color. |

Thanks for the clarification, I could see where that could be a issue.

Yeah I wasn't saying there weren't good ones, there are definitely good ones out there, just becoming harder and harder to find. Anytime you start breeding a performance breed for any reason other than performance the quality will go down. |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

 about as rank a colored up pup I’ve ever seen. No doubt she’d have made a dog had she lived long enough. Her litter mate sister is a hand these days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve owned one that was half running walker and half catahoula that had double glass eyes and was a heck of a dog, and a good friend and hunting buddy had a double glass eyed female that was the coldest nose cur dog I’ve ever seen, she was mostly white with glass eyes, we bred her to a half brother of hers that had a lot of white and had a gyp partially deaf, I owned her litter mate sister that looked the same but had no health issues at all other being addicted to asphalt and she eventually met her demise in the hwy, red nose was spot on, that flashy eye appeal has been the damnation of the register catahoula breed as a whole...
