I had a Blue Sky bred cat, named Split. He was about 3 when I bought him. Like a fool, I bought him because he was damn good looking, and I saw him find a hog in a wooded pen.  Did I mention he was damn good looking!  Hunted that dog twice a week for a solid year, and he never did do anything worth mentioning. He spent more time jacking with the other dogs on a hunt than he did looking for a pig. Not exactly dog aggressive, he was just always in their business, sniffing their butts, etc. Sold the dog back to the man that I bought him from, and never looked back. Maybe he was a great dog, that just did not hunt for me. Maybe he was a product of his environment, in spite of his breeding, as he had a couple of owners prior to my purchasing him. He has been my only experience with a Blue Sky catahoula. Seeing them mentioned several times on here, leads me to believe that they might produce some good dogs, and that Split was the exception... I would like to hunt behind a good one some day. Split - Blue Sky Catahoula  |

Here is some pic of our Blue Sky Dogs. The first two are brothers. They are out of the Blue Sky's Slug, i believe. My G/F is very good friend with Louis and Judy Smith. They are great people and love them to death. The Black and tan one is one hunting Fool! I would put money on him against any other dog finding a hog. The Leopard one runs a close second.   Here is a big Sow that the leopard dog bayed for over 20min by himself while we followed the black and tan who had bayed on a big boar!  Here is a pic of the Blue Sky leopard dog, and our Camp-A-While female baying in Winnfield last year.   hog tied, not sure exactly what the line is, but listed on the papers is Camille, and im wanting to say weems duval. Now don't hold me against it, but i can look at the papers and tell you for sure. Jason Littleton knows the Bloodline on this dog like the back of his hand. |

He was a good looking fellas for sure, too bad he didn't work out for you. Do you run any other Catahoulas?
Spencer.
Thanks for sharing your pictures, they're a good looking lot. how do you find you CaW bred gyp compared to your Blue Sky dogs? Out here the CaW dogs are out working the others, especially in the nose and distance department.

Downunder,
We don't have any more purebred cats, but not for any reason. Mike's Tweety bitch is full cat, but her regisration papers did not accompany the dog. We have a Tweety daughter, but her sire was an East Texas Brindle Cur. My Lizzie bitch is likely to be mostly catahoula, but her breeder raises cowdogs and breeds whatever works. There is likely some bmc in her and I swear she has badger in her at times. Chris will have to post pics of these dogs, my phone won't let me post them.
That split dog chris was talking about wasn't a total flop. He should have been a bay pen dog as he was picture perfect in a bay pen. Just didn't work for us in the woods.
Cheers
M

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.

The Camp-A-While gyp is strictly bay pen. We have never taken her to the woods. She tends to get bored in the pen and does a little spin that we cant keep her from doing and it drives us crazy. When she bay's, she is jam up. Now the Two Blue Sky dogs, they will go both ways, and hammer in the pen or the woods.

M,
How do you find the Catahoula x East Texas Brindle Cur, I've taken a shine to those dogs, no show inluence there, just good solid working dogs. t's hard to find good working Catahoula from half way around the world, but of late I've been in contact with some good folk running good working Catahoulas.
Spencer,
What dogs does your CaW bred gyp go back to? Why have you not taken her to the woods?
Cheers.
