Sheimer,

No need to appologize to me. Although it can be a loaded question, it can also be discussed rationally if both parties are adults.

I stand by my earlier post, I have and feed the dogs I do because they catch game for me where I hunt. I couldn't care less about breed. My experience has been that a well rounded dog, one that is average to above average for many traits, will catch more game than one that excells in a couple traits and is very weak in others. It seems that I usually have more hound/catahoula crosses in my yard than any other single breed or cross at any given time, but that is not by any design or desire on my part. I also have walkers, blues, catahoulas, b&ts, plotts, and Jagds in my yard currently.
