Why yellow?

I left the Catahoulas alone started using yella dogs because of exactly what mike said. "They started being bred for color to make a dollar instead of working ability". Yellow dogs dont have the novelty of the catahoula so I dont believe they will get as bad off, but there are still some folks that have true catahoulas and they dont have a bunch of loud patch work and they resemble nothing like we see today. They are 80lb dogs with block heads and typically not a loud color and maybe one glass eye if any at all and they are pretty much straight catch dogs on a single hog until you get them broke, but can take a rank cow down like a bulldog. I have been thinking about trying to talk Mr. Murray out of one before he gets too old to fool with them. The last two out of his line I saw were some serious working dogs that his son used to catch loose cattle, and they would rival the heart and grit of any cur dog and maybe a bulldog.
