The one that produces pork!! This subject has been talked to death on hear and nothing constructive ever comes from it. You say you like both breeds. Good for you, So do I. I also like Plotts and all the crosses that folks hunt. But most people tend to bad mouth any breed that they are not hunting. Like I said nothing constructive ever comes from this subject. One thing for certain, there is good and $hitty dogs in every breed.

I prefer ybmc's.....the reason being that i found a line that fit me and my hunting style to a tee, the dogs (as a line) have a very high turnout rate, they start early and they start at 100mph and get better with age.

Had i found plotts or cats or walkers or poodles that did what i want a dog to do in the woods then i would be hunting with em now. I have absolutely nothing against other breeds, i just like a yella dog!

That's the way I was about Catahoulas when I first started hunting Justin. Only had 1 Catahoula early on that didn't suite me, was a registered dog....piece of crap.

Back then I Actually HATED Yella dogs. I had only been around a few...mainly bay pen dogs and they were freakin psycho. Put a bad taste in my mouth.

Got out...got back in. Again I got Catahoulas or Catahoula crosses (halfbreeds stock). Loved them. Hunted behind a couple Yella dogs a few times back then....wasn't impressed.

Got out...got back in. Back to halfbreeds stock and again loved the dog I had but she got stolen. Picked up a sister pair of Catahoula crossed pups and a month later my Jasper dog (Yella). He wasn't out of hog dogs but I took a chance and I'm happy, happy, happy where I'm at now and working towards the future.

Just goes to show you how much dogs can differ within a breed.

Haha! SOOOOOO biased!

No one said anything about blowing anything out of the water, but you obviously hadn't hunted behind good Catahoulas or you'd at least acknowledge them  Grin

Or maybe it's just good natured razzing....lol.

I don't think that it is necessarily about the breed. It is more about the line of dogs and the genetics involved. Every breed has culls and good ones. The best thing to do is to find a line of dogs that works for you. JMO

Aces and culls in both breeds, as for all breeds.....whatever coat color that finds and bays/stops a hog is the color for me Smiley I cannot fairly pass judgement on an entire breed just because I've seen one or two poor examples. They're dogs not machines, therefore there will be the good and the bad, no matter the breed. I think there;s folks out there that are so programed with the notion that X breed is for this, and Y breed is for that. It's one thing to have a preference, but it gets a lil over kill when people condemn an entire breed seemingly due to the simple fact that it's a breed they choose not to hunt.

some breeds have a higher cull rate than others...
some folks will cull a long range dog and others will cull a short range dog...
