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.So the show dog mentality is in the stock dogs as well? Holy cow, there are entire bird dog breeds that have nearly gone into extinction as far as hunting ability because of that
