Title: Getting a puppy next week... Post by: Explorer on January 13, 2011, 01:39:00 pm Hi, I am getting a female puppy next week. Her dad is a 90lbs performance AB, her mother is a 65lbs Blackmouth/Catahoula cross. She is expected to grow to be around 75lbs and about 23 inches at the shoulder. In your opinions, is this a good cross? Do you think she will be more inclined to catch or bay?

X2, dont know whether or not its gonna be a good hunting dog or a world champion yard dog. Title: Re: Getting a puppy next week... Post by: Explorer on January 13, 2011, 05:50:38 pm I know, I'll have to wait a while until she grows a little. Has anyone here ever had this cross, or knows of someone that had dogs of this cross? Thanks.

Post by: Explorer on January 13, 2011, 07:05:12 pm OMG, she looks identical as my little 8 weeks old!! Same markings, same black muzzle, etc.!! Thank you for sharing. I need to see how I can post pictures of my little one. Can you tell me more about Lana. She looks like she's got the body of a runner! How is her temperament? Her drive, ect...? As I mentioned, my puppy's mom is Blackmouth (father side)/Catahoula (mother side). Was Lana's grandma also the Cathoula, and granddad the Blackmouth? How much does she weight in this picture? Thanks
Title: Re: Getting a puppy next week... Post by: DangerZone on January 13, 2011, 07:47:40 pm I haven't wieghed her in a few months. I would say about 55# she's all legs. But I haven't worked her much (Really my wife has claimed her) she sleeps with us 3-4 nites a week!! Only dog I've ever seen that sleeps from 9:30pm to 6:00am and never moves... Her mom is reg. Ladner BMC , dad AB. I started her in a pen at 4 month, she went right to it baying and trying to catch with my older dogs. I'll prolly never hunt her but I'm hoping for some good pups from her.
Title: Re: Getting a puppy next week... Post by: Explorer on January 13, 2011, 07:52:58 pm I see. So she doesn't have Catahoula in her, does she? My puppy's mom is Catahoula/BMC. They still look the same... ;D
