Looking for young started dog. Preferably a female, alittle gritty. Call or text 832-318-7022 email kingwhitey1488@gmail.com

I've been using safe guard on my dogs for years, if there infested put good bead for each dog on tip of finger for 3 days in a row. After that do one bead for each dog 1 time a month. Be careful with pups use small bead, alittle over will make em weak for a couple days, but they'll come through. Stuff works great.

I'm looking for a started catahoula, preferably young and would like for it to be a male although would consider female at right price.

That's been my point all along. Get you some good pups from working stock, let a great dog that hunts how you want to hunt train your pups. And no I would not sell em when he is "finished" you breed and allow him to be that great dog that trains your pups.

Hopefully somebody reading this learns that when buying dogs your best bet isn't always going after a $1,000 dog.

This was the conversation I was looking to get started. Different opinions on a good topic from different perspectives. Thanks guys. I've learned in a short time it takes a good mixture of finished dogs and great pups to have a pack worth taking about.

Well the issue is as you say ACTUALLY FINISHED. Finished seems to be a pretty broad term in some of these conversations

Totally agree with having a finished dog to help train, but I often see guys buying what they think are finished dogs only to be dissappointed. It just seems that you could save what ends of being thousands of dollars if you be patient and train pups to your style of hunting it could save you lots of money and maybe some grief. A finished dog in my standard may be a trashed dog in the mind of someone else. I made this comment for guys to see the view point of many others and maybe they will save some money and learn a thing or two along the way being that the dog business is not a guaranteed trade.

This is just an open question so feel free to let me know what you think. Is someone better off spending big money on finished dogs or be patient and train dogs to your liking

Breed my female pit to a ridgeback a couple years back. So I can say from experience that they will turn out. Did they cone out with ridge? Ours were about half in half when it came to who they took after. Half were pits with a ridge and half were ridgeback with a set of jaws.

Me and a couple of guys went hunting just the other day to try a new dog. We found nothing although on the way out a group ran across the road right in front of us the dogs bailed outta the truck and the chase was on. They ran right by a big sow standing in the open and bayed a baby in a sticker bush. My c/d in training caught him and when I got him off the little daddy didn't marry mommy slipped the grip of my buddy and ran off. We caught no pigs. First for us and we were bummed.

A true game bred dog is hard to find now a days. Most of your old blood lines are very watered down. Its almost  impossible. Especially the old lines carver, Wallace, etc.   I once heard a pedigree doesn't make the dog. The  dog makes the pedigree. Find you a dog a make him what you are lookin for, don't be fooled by a name and if it were possible to talk to those old breeders I'm sure they would give you the same advice.
