we have a catahoula - one thing is that you absolutely have to be able to train the dog. they are a bit stubborn and I've caught myself letting him form some habits I should never have allowed.

he is a good watch dog, if something moves or makes a sound, he lets us know. he sounds like he's going to eat everybody that shows up, but is fine once we greet the visitors.

he brings home rodents all the time, and will chase just about anything in the yard. he's been find with the chickens, but they were there first and and we had to watch him close as a pup. now he just like to try to push them back in the run when they are ranging.

He's good with other dogs, maybe a little invasive. really likes to check out the other dogs, but is not confrontational. We made sure we socialized him as a pup, knowing he wasn't going to encounter many dogs just staying at the house.

we let him run at the house, with no worries of him not coming back. he's always been within earshot, and returns when called. sometimes it takes a minute, but you can usually hear him clabbering through the leaves trying to get back.

I'll say it again, stubborn and hard headed.

I still plan on getting another feist someday and would like to get a catahoula at some point too, but I got this puppy today. She is half English Sheperd and half Anatolian Shepherd. She has a really nice personality. She should be my near constant companion for many years to come. I think she will make a good all around farm dog. She was born 8/25/2018 and weighs 16.4 pounds. She was bottle fed, because her mother did not produce much milk.

A fellow bowhunter I know has two Blue Lacy's. They are somewhat considered to be a herding dog, but he has trained them to be trialing dogs for recovering wounded/shot deer that are proving difficult to recover. They are also extremely athletic.

Catahoulas are one of my favorite dogs. I would love to have enough land to have one.

How do these feist, curs and lacys do being an outside dog in northern areas?


Edit:I've been thinking about a small Spitz type dog but there ones in north America don't seem to be field/game bred but more house pets.

A lot of the Norwegian Elk Hounds still hunt well. Some have been bred for appearance only now, so you have to be careful, which you buy to hunt. They have plenty of hair for cold weather.

My current English Shepherd is hands down the best dog I have ever owned.Easiest dog I have ever trained,and probably the most athletic.He went through a stage at about 9 months old were he thought he was the Chief not an Indian but hey what adolescent doesn't.I have owned about everything mentioned above minus a Ridgeback and Jag.Owned a Ladner bred Blackmouth that was the craziest thing I have ever seen,he could out dig a Badger and barked every time his foot hit the ground.
