Never had one but it was high on my list. I just can't seem to buy a good dog for very much money. I've spent as much as 900 and always get the idiots. Best two dogs I've had were either mutt or $25

I just got a shorthair border collie:

Or mutt

These folks usually have some fine dogs. They are Catahoula's for the most part and I don't know how often they have pups. Always heard good things about them.

A lot of different things to know about a Catahoula. You don't need $400 and you can get a good dog. I have had registered and otherwise and the registered usually are good for the house nothing else.

If you want a good all around dog, get him a heeler. Be aware that it will work the crap out of you because they get bored. The same with a cur, it is a working dog, so they need to be exercised or they will tear shite up.

Curs are very protective of their food, so other dogs become an issue. Also, they will climb fences and get into anything, I had some hang themselves trying to jump out of the dog yard or in the cow trailer. You can get a good one for free or cheap and it will be the best dog, I myself wouldn't spend a lot of money on one especially if you aren't hunting or working cattle. The only ones truly worth money are the ones that are started.

I had a male I raised from a pup and I wouldn't have taken any amount for him. He could do whatever I wanted, but it took a long time for that. He wouldn't listen to anyone else though.

Look in the market bulletin or around the feed stores where you live and someone will be getting rid of some puppy's. Get you a male if you want a calm one, female if you want one that works. Males are hit or miss, some are lazy. Females aren't. Also, do you want a big cur (some get huge) or a small cur. I wouldn't want a big one, they eat too much and get too big. If you want a pretty one, someone will have some merles or leopards, try not to get white, especially on the head; many are deaf. Think ornery like a dalmation. Most are hard headed, so you need to be prepared to wear them out before they listen. If you are active, its a great dog.

I would let him get the Catahoula. Between owning damn near every type of sporting dog there is at one point, the Catahoula is just as good as the others.
