That is the way I pick my bird dogs. We were kind of hoping for a little more personal insight, but if that is all, I guess that is all.
Bobby,
If you want a personal opinion, I like Black Mouths...and the reason, because that happened to be the first breed of dog I got ahold of that suited my personal hunting style....but like I mentioned earlier...not all are worth a cup of feed!
Having said that, I've also seen some pretty fine Catahoula's that (if I got in a bind
) I would probably feed. I will say that in my opinion when trying to weed through the trash of each breed, Catahoulas may be a bit harder because of the fact that lots of people over the years have bred the working qualities right out of the dogs while persuing pretty coats and glass eyes.
