I had a Catahoula cross( McNab), used him as a brush dog. He would find cattle and hold them up till I got there. He was a little tough on a cow if she was prone to fight. He was a good dog and got along with the rest of my dogs. I gave him to a friend when I changed country ( moved to open country lol). Other than that one dog I haven't had any experience with the breed. I do know a lot of the hog hunters out here use them. Ed
