Catahoulas are one of the most popular hog dogs. Got a lot of grit mixed with some sense.

Hunted with some a few times...very aggresive dogs. They ran and treed with the other dogs, But I still havent seen a cur I am real impressed with.

Sandbur-I used to have dogs that were very vocal on the trail. Most of my new dogs are very quiet on the trail and I have noticed a difference in the distance we go as far as treeing lions. We used to get into some awaful long chases, and now it seems they are usually fairly short. I really like the silent ones for bobcat hunting. Seems the element of surprize gets em in the tree much faster. I kinda like the silent ones. I have tracking collars, so it really doesnt matter to me if I can hear on the trail. I would want a more vocal trail dog if I were hunting coons I suppose. I love to hear em on the trail tho!bcat

If you aint the lead dog the scenery never changes
