Welcome to the board. Get you a horse and you can gather cattle with your catahoula as well.
In your opinion how do the Catahoulas compare to the other breeds used over there as far as the terrain and climate. How do you plan on hunting them? What, if anything, do you like bettter about them when it comes to hunting compared to traditional Aussie dogs and what was the reason you decided to go through the great effort to acquire one from the US? I am just curious about this mostly because the dogs I use are Cur dogs, not catahoula specifically, but very similar and originated in South East Texas which is very close to Louisiana geographically.
It is funny because on one hand some people are importing Catahoulas to Australia and have been for some time and on the other hand some people in the US are adopting the "One out" hunting style and even acquiring dogs from Aussie blood.
