I have been line breeding off those original dogs for over 20 years. I have tried to keep the lines as tight as possible, but there is some other stuff in the blood now. Some of the other guys who had some descendants of the original dogs may have bred in a different direction, but I have tried to stay as much catahoula as possible. The ones I have are much as Reuben described: drop them on a fresh track, fresh sign, or cast them in a block that holds hogs and wait for them to get bayed. If you go back and look at some of Chainrateds posts from years back, you will see basically the same dogs I have.

I just about positive they were never really so much as set as a strain or family as they were more so like several generations of dogs who were put together from Joey Dennisons selection and pairing of individual dogs who complimented each other well and produced good, I think he didn't hog hunt to many more years after he had started putting together good crosses, not talking down on them by any means bc the ones I hunted with were nice, that one in particular that had originally come from Danny Drinkard, but there's nothing special about them for them to have that almost novelty like label on them, and one thing I do know and won't mention a name or timeframe other than it was in Alabama bc for whatever reason, there was some crossing of English coon hound bred into them and also some Florida cur blood, I haven't been on FB or hunted with any of the mutual associates I had with Danny Drinkard or Don Bradford in about 4 or 5 years so I don't know what's come of them now...
Last I heard anything out of Mr. Joey was also on FB and he was living in Jessup Ga and was breeding training and selling Mt Cur squirrel dogs, close friend of mine went and bought one....
I have him on FB and he posts a ton of training videos on his dogs. They have tons of go it seems like. They ain’t cheap by no means neither when you buy one. |

I live in SW Alabama, in the same neck of the woods as Danny and Don. I don't have FB, and don't post much on the www, but the post about cast dogs caught my attention.

Hugh Murray put the dogs together and had much to do with the blood getting together. He put together Wager's, Myer's, and Mason's blood. That's how the dogs got started in Georgia. He used the Buster dog of Sam Mason's several times. Hugh's kennel prefix was HCM's. Joey(Nine Run's) and Eddie Denison came into the picture and tried to build on what Hugh has done. A 400acre pen with hogs and lots of puppies on the ground made them a hot commodity for several years; but they got too far away from what made the dogs and lost the blood needed to keep things going. The term 'Dennison Dog" didnt come around till about 10 years ago. Hugh put the blood together 30 years ago.

That’s correct, I spoke with Joey years ago about them dogs and he told me that and I think Danny spoke about it when I was over there hunting with em. They’re like anything else, they’re only as good as what you put into em. I think we caught 14-17 hogs when I was over there. The Shaq dog was still living and he was producing some real nice young dogs. One of the better ones got killed while hunting on a big Barr. I don’t think I have 14 hogs on my whole lease right now, just different country and different hogs, but the dogs were nice for sure. |

Stanton thanks for clarifying that and sharing what you know about them, I've heard before almost word for word what you said but wasn't quite sure I remembered it correctly and didn't want to pass along to much misinformation and is why I didn't bother trying to put it altogether.... |

He certainly did, more so probably than any other spotted dog sire, he was the result of a full brother sister breeding, which is why I believe was one of the reasons he was such a prepotent reproducer, a good portion of the blood that makes up my dogs go back to him, we've line bred off two separate litters from two littermates that were directly off of him, my old little girl dog and my best friends stud dog Walt are great grand pups off him, the sure enough colder nose track working spotted cur dogs that I've seen were with my own eyes have all been descendants of his within a few generations, we have a litter that just hit a yr on Father's Day that are off of Walt and Lil girl and one of the females came out looking and patterned just like old Buster.... |
