My guess would be the pit bull side. I’m not as familiar with the AB lineage so I can’t say for sure with them, but there are certain families of them that definitely have some pit bull in there. I was always taught that waaaay back, there were basically two strains of the Catahoulas. Texas and Louisiana both had their own. I can’t remember now which did what but one bred hound into the cats and the other bred pit bull into them. Years ago it was pretty evident in appearance. You would see some really houndy type cats and you could see really pit looking cats. I remember pulling up to hunt with my buddies uncle one morning. There was a truck there already that had a knockout of a dog in the back of it. He was reddish/liver colored, with amber eyes, and a red nose. Tight made and muscular but not overly so and the muscle was well defined. I said man that’s a pretty pit cross. My buddy said naw that dogs pure pit. Naturally in the next few minutes we asked. He was a registered cat. His momma was a red merle gyp and I never saw his dad, but actually hunted with about 3 of his brothers and actually owned 1 of them. They were all red or liver colored but a couple of them actually had this widows peak as well. They were stupid rough. I don’t remember hunting with any of them
that they didn’t get hammered anytime we got on a decent hog. So I say the pit side but I don’t know if it’s isolated to the blk/tan gene. I don’t know if the widows peak would be a color gene or a pattern gene. That’s my small brain storm.
