From what I've seen of the catahoula's, the majority are very good bay dogs with good size so it makes sense to me as to why a lot hog hunters make this cross.

Personally, If I were to make a cross for more catch in my strike dogs I would use a larger line of hard hunting mtn curs with a longer legged type of pit bull and breed down to 1/4 pit bull. The well bred mtn curs have a lot of grit, hunt and nose so this should make a good cross. Like any outcross, the trick is to pick the right pups because there will be a lot of variation in any outcross.
