Lee, in 1967 I went to Franklin,NC to meet with and purchased 2 pups from Mr. Plott. Had the Plotts for a few years and they did pretty good, but I met this Dog Hog hunter who had Catahoulas and fell in love with the breed. His were already mixed with Blue Tick and Red Bone, so in 1970 I ordered 2 Catahoula Pure Bred pups from Arkansas. The best cross I came up with was the one above and continued for over 35yrs.
When you select breeds for crossing, consider the characteristics of the breeds.

1. Catahoula= Natural Hunter
2. Rhodesian Ridge Back= Courage (used in lion hunting)
3. Pitt Bull= Shorter legs and a Jaw that slip locks
