I've always been partial to the leopard dogs since I was a kid. The best dogs i've had the pleasure to hunt behind were full cat or cat crosses. I guess i've never seen a bmc cur that stood out and blew me away... seen some pretty good ones. People always say the cats are rough, but i've seen more rough bmc's than catahoulas. Talked to several die hard yellow dog men over the years who's best dog they ever owned was a catahoula.
But, just like many other breeds, the pet people went to mass producing them about 10 years back, looking for the loud colors and pretty blue eyes... that's why there's so much junk floating around these days. I also believe the same has happened to the bmc... gotta be yella with a black mask.
