Sorry man.....missed your question earlier.
No problem! I enjoyed your other convos too.
We run a nice line of baying BMCs, I have a pup gyp that is sure enough gritty, she's just started in the bay pen at around 8 mos and she bays well, hopefully she'll stay a bay dog. But if she doesn't then we'll have to put our heads together. Also I'd probably try out a pup from your catchy dogs if the timing was right, I like the idea of a straight catch cur. But I hate to have to walk through dogs ins the woods. So I don't love the no hunt aspect. We have a couple of good pits that aren't dog aggressive. The only dog we had that was dog aggressive was a straight catch cur our buddy sold us. Dang dog kept us on our toes until we got tired of it.
