tell me about your catahoula! a really good friend of mine (who used to drive a bull rack) had one--she was a sweet heart (both the dog and my friend

), but i don't know how good she was with cattle.
from what little i've seen, they seem like they'd be good at working bulls, they have a different style of working cattle than the aussies, right? they are nice LOOKING dogs, but pretty is only skin deep-ugly goes to the bone.
i tend to like those short haired, hard-coated dogs in general--they're easier to clean up and find wounds on.....
