I was going to say try Spanish. Call the person you got the dog from and ask what commands where used. I would disagree with Waylon on this. Because the dog was used before any real introduction. Put the dog in the yard and let the dog learn you are the knew one in charge. Then of the dog does not work cull. At five I would not give much room for learning.

I do not work cattle but got two Catahoulas and went straight to a pen. One wanted out of that pen and to get as far away from the pig as possible. The other only looked at the pig to avoid getting hit and as far as I was concerned was a flat out cull. I was told that they sometimes take time to warm up. The one that wanted out never did hunt. The other one after about a week of my sitting next to the food bowl came around.

So will the dog work who knows. Find out what commands were used in what language. Then I would not give more than a week. If the dog won't work cattle then you won't hurt nothing seeing what he will do with a pig. Just my two cents.

Ok got the commands this morning from the guy that originally trained her too her with my digs to go catch 3 yearlings that got out. We rode about 300 yards and I could hear the digs baying rode up and they had the bunched up circleing. So we started driving the pens are about 400 from where we found the cattle I started giving my dogs commands and to work they went started trying to work the gyp and at first nothing then when almost to pens she started to work enough that I think she will come around. On the good note she was with the other dogs baying when I got there woo think I will just keep hauling and using her and she will be good
