         i will tell you a little more about my dog ,i told you some on the phone the other night.  like i said she is not for sale but you start talkin about $3000 ,a guy starts thinking. Grin  i thought for about 2 min. and she is staying in oklahoma.

         anyway, my dog is 1/2 catahoula and 1/2 pit, she is about 50#, she is 6yrs old, i carry her in the box with my other dogs , when i turn the dogs out she is loose with them, after all the dogs are cleaned out they go hunting, she will stay with me. after i get on my horse she will follow me. if there are 4 or 5 horses she will be behind the last horse when we take of thru the woods. she will stay with us all day and never leave off on her own, but when we get in fresh hog sign and all the dogs are gone she is on high alert usually about 10 yards up in front of us , all i have to do is watch her cause she usualy can hear the bay before i do. now when she hears the bay she is gone like a streak and im right behind her. and i have always been able to be just a couple minute behind her at worst ,alot of the time i get to see her hit the hog. now im not saying she does any of this on comand thats just the way she is. i dont say anything until i have the hog caught, and then all my dogs back off when i say caught hog or dead hog, i ussualy have to lesh my catch dog on a caught hog but she will back off on a dead hog.
         the other thing that makes this dog work for me is if a bay breaks she will go with them but she will come back really quik say maybe a 1/4 or so if they havent stoped, she is comming in. and then we pull the tracking system and go find em .

       now what these guys are saying is true about a catch dog getting off and you cant find em ,i you arent there you are more than likley going to get at best just your catch dog killed.
        but im going to be with that catch dog  no matter what , alot of guys i hunt with wont always follow me but im not leavin my dogs on their own!! 

this is the best picture i have of her tyed with one of my BMC
