My brother has the best catahoula I've ever hunted with or seen, we hunt the thick country of south central ok so the dogs have to beat the bush the dog is on up at lest 11 years old and still consistently strikes hogs, in his prime we could either hood him or ground him he would take a track strike and bay a set we'd tie 2 or 3 out of the initial bay then tie singles with him until the sun came up, he would wear his pads off his paws on a good night, this after tying 5-10 hogs, when we would hood him he would strike 500yrds off the road, and all of the feed above is right he doesn't go around bragging about this dog, but everyone who's ever hunted with us knows his name and tells tales of him. All this being said my brother is very tight lipped and we're the type of old school hunters who would rather our stock not be all over the south, this dog has only been bred once to a gyp of his all that gyp would do is bark at a hog in a pen, out of their pups several turned out to be very nice, I don't know if he would be interested in breeding your gyp but he has mentioned he'd like to breed him 1 more time to a sure enough good gyp, I'm sure he'd have no problem showing this dog work even though he's old he's still better than a lot of guys number ones, he would definitely want to see your gyp work in our country b4 he would even consider it, also very strict on looks, no bulldog catahoulas, this male is rangy will go as far as it takes will put teeth on a runner will set back and bay for days you have to catch his hog because he will not quite, if your still interested his Name is Ricky Wood the dogs name is Scar
she may not be everyone's cup of tea but for me she's a solid dog. She finds em bays em and puts a lot of pork in the freezers. I dunno if I'm still gonna breed her or not I have a really nice male that is out of the same kennels as her I bout gave up on him but in the last two months he has become my #2 dog and if he keeps on this track he might turn out to be better than her. He's solid and she's Merle so it'd be a good cross plus they both find a lot of swine. I've had her almost a year and she has never been in heat yet so she may never come in heat! Yall dog sounds nice but the likelihood of him still breeding at 11 years old and producing pups is probably not that good. I had a bulldog we tried to collect at 10 that had pups at 3 he went sterile before we could collect semen and same thing with an old hound dog we had at 9. Not saying it's impossible but it's really to far to drive for me at that age. She's three I got plenty of time to figure out if she is ever gonna come in heat I believe. I appreciate the extension of a contact. I'm in ky or I would come show yall what I got and see what yall had.
