I'm running border collie x cat.. AWSOME dogs. Always used Australian shepards and border collies for cows and crossed my good collie with cat and ended up with some gritty and rough dogs. And they can run a hole in the wind! Pretty much strait catch tho.

Iv got Border Collies and Australian Shepards and they are strait catch no questions asked. Good quiet cow dogs but put them on a hog and they are foaming from the mouth and acting like wild wolves. I use them to teach pups to catch and it dang sure works. Don't count out my hairy sheep dogs.. Lol
