The only way to know is get out in the woods with different people and see what you like. Every breed has good and bag so dont judge a breed on one dog. Everyone on here has different opinions. Although opinions can be good, I would choose a breed based on what I saw and learned in the woods.
X2 when I first got in I was a straight Catahoula man. Now I'm a Hogdog man, lol. I don't care about the breed as long as it will hunt.
