And I can keep them separate, and will never present a cross bred dog as anything but that!
Now some pure bred Catahoula enthusists want to claim that there is no reason to cross a well bred Catahoula, and I couldn't agree more, if that is what you want. But many people want a dog that looks Catahoula but have no idea that they cannot "just make it into a pet" IF IT IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE BRED DOG, and are not even ready to consider that the best dogs are smarter than we are.
And that is where "they get pissed off, and get rid of the dog in anger, because it is not being a "good pet"". Why? Because if you have a good dog, you will have problems with them especially as a puppy, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY SMARTER THAN YOU!
Now, I will continue to re-edit this post periodically as I have time but for now....
I am just getting started explaining why I breed pure breds AND CROSS BREDS: for your benefit.
A pure bred may be too active to be "just a pet", in which case I have some good looking "show dogs", that will be better pets for those of you who want a Catahoula for show without the high performance working abilities of cow dog or hog dog.
And if you want a blood tracking dog, you need to understand that a pure bred or cross bred Catahoula needs to be your family pet WHEN IT IS NOT DEER SEASON, otherwise they may not work for you when you need them most.
stay tuned....more later
