Who here has Catahoula's and what do you use them for. My neighbor has a litter that is about ready and I'm wondering if they make good squirrel dogs, no hogs around here. How about temperament, brain power, and hunting drive?

The "Breed Standard" for all the Cur breeds is in the mind of each breeder or "breed organizations" formed by [mostly] puppy mills.
"Treeing" climbing game is an unnatural trait for dogs and is only achieved by selective breeding, so, if at least one of the parents will tree, there is a chance [NOT 50-50] some of the pups will tree.
Whether true, or not, one persistent "knock" on Catahoulas is that they are dog fighters.
