Catahoula Plott crosses work the best for me. We need to cover big chunks of land so a long range dog really helps. Its so dry out here that the Plott nose really helps when the ground is bone dry (90% of the time) and the humidity is 10%. Speed is also a factor raw speed and track speed. These hogs out here travel long distances to feed and water every day. When you jump one he is headed home and that might be 5 or more miles away, its takes a good nose and speed to get in the game.
My Plott cross dogs are gritty but not catchy, so I use long range holding dogs that are fast with a lot of wind and clean holders. The combination works very well.
I use my shorter range rougher Catahoulas to work tighter cover and I turn them in a race as stop dogs when needed.
