Working Catahoula Cow Dogs www.crosscheckcatahoulas.com Cross Check Catahoulas is focused on producing dogs with excessive drive and cow sense.

Our dogs are used to move and pen our own cattle as well as custom penning for the public. We believe in the versatility of the breed, so our working cow dogs also c**n hunt, compete in working trials, and show what they've got in the conformation ring. Our breeding decisions are based on everyday work in the fields and the woods. Anything that leaves Cross Check Catahoulas comes with a 100% worki

ng guarantee in any facet. Home of:

For the first time in 5 years we made the trip to an NALC show, and the kids did all the showing. Both placed in junior showmanship, and Rosie showed Nifty to a 3rd place in the hip certified class and a 4th place treeing run with Nifty and Shiner. She also ran her very first cow dog run with Nifty, Shiner and Turn. Both kids and dogs had a good time!!

NALC SEPT GR CH of CH's UKC GRCH Cnd. Ch Cross Check's Smith & Wesson
October 22, 2011 - February 28, 2023
http://www.crosscheckcatahoulas.com/wesson

Wesson was a good sized dog with incredible conformation and an extreme amount of stamina and efficiency. He had a ton of circle, and was a truly versatile type of cow dog. He had a lot of cow sense. Wesson had no quit in him. He had a great nose with medium range. He had a fantastic treeing style, and would strike a track and stick to a tree on his own. He showed us a lot of style and enthusiasm in the trial pen and had his NALC B-Bay Grand Champion of Champions, Treeing Grand Champion of Champions and Grand Champion of Show Champion titles, making him a NALC Sept Grand Champion of Champions. Wesson was a UKC Grand Champion and an All Breed International Canadian Champion and was retired from the show ring before his passing.

Wesson was the bar we measure all our dogs to. To have produced a dog like him so early in our career, was a true testament to the hard work and dedication that our foundation breeders put into their programs. He was the go to dog day to day for most of his life, and was 1 first place win away from being a champion in every performance event the NALC offered at the time he was showing. And he gave the most amazing hugs. His loss is sorely felt in our hearts.

NALC TRI GR CH of CH's Cnd Ch J Cross' Revolution
September 23, 2013 - February 1, 2023
http://www.crosscheckcatahoulas.com/rev

Rev was well built, with show ring flash. He had a very efficient build to go with the drive and desire that we love to see. He had a lot of circle and hit like a hammer when it was needed. His stock sense was spot on. He had a long range hunting style, with a good nose. He was much steadier on hogs than on c**ns, but he would hit a tree and locate. Rev started his show career by blasting out of the gate! He had cow dog and tree dog champion points with the NALC, and earned his NALC Comb Ch title in b-bay and conformation a week after his 2nd birthday, and finished both those titles to Dbl Ch just 1 show later. He earned his TRI GR CH of Ch's title after earning his b-bay grand champion of champions title in 2017, and he had his ABI Cnd Ch title and UKC Ch title. He was a lot of fun to work and to show.

Rev was a once in a lifetime dog. Sometimes words can't really dig into how loss affects us, but the best we can do is to quote Craig, " There is only one Rev."

NALC QUAD GR CH of CH's/UKC GRCH/Can. Rare Breed CH J Cross' Ammunition
July 15, 2008 - Feb 7, 2022
http://www.crosscheckcatahoulas.com/ammo
RETIRED

Ammo was a well put together girl with lots of flash, style and personality. With her medium bone and lean muscling, she had exactly the body type that we like to see in our dogs. She was a heads up, cow smart dog with a nice amount of stopping power and circle. She had a great nose on her and medium/long hunting style. She was silent on track until it gets really hot and then she'd "babble" until she struck the tree.
Ammo was a UKC conformation grand champion, a Canadian Rare Breed conformation champion, and with her NALC Show Champion, Champion of Show Champions, Grand Champion of Show Champions and Tree Dog Champion titles she was also a NALC Quad grand champion of champions. In 2011 she and Kenzie were the first Canadian owned Catahoulas to earn NALC National belt buckles.

Ammo was one of our 2 original foundation females, and along with producing some truly outstanding litters for us, she also introduced us to some of our closest friends. We cannot thank J Cross Catahoulas enough for trusting us with the ugly red dog, and for the support and friendship that came along with her. Ammo was one of kind, and she will be greatly missed in the house, the field, the woods and our hearts.

Bullhead's Ar-A-Mach "Ara"

Ara is coming to us from our great friends at Bullhead Catahoulas in Florida. She is double bred Rev and out of an Ammo daughter, so her name means revolution in Gaelic. We are excited to add her to the pack and for what the future holds for her!

NALC QUAD GR CH of CH's UKC GRCH Can Rare Breed CH Cross Check's Cyclone
August 12, 2009 - October 14, 2020
http://www.crosscheckcatahoulas.com/cyclone
RETIRED

Cyclone was very well put together with an efficient build. She had the right amount of stopping power and a ton of circle. She was an incredibly versatile cow dog, and we leaned on her a great deal in our day to day penning. Cyclone was run down by a cow at 2 years old, and suffered what we thought was a soft tissue injury, but turned out to be a bone fracture. It went untreated since she did not display any discomfort past the first 48 hours, and a bone chip that had been floating in the joint for a couple of years finally made itself known when Cyclone began to limp, and it has gotten progressively worse. By 5 years old, Cyclone's arthritis became severe enough, that we decided to retire her from the field. Cyclone was a medium range dog with an exceptional nose, but she could have used more voice. She was deadly accurate.
Cyclone was a UKC conformation grand champion, had her Canadian Rare Breed champion title and was a NALC grand champion of show champions and tree dog champion.

Cyclone was out of our very first litter, and she really helped to shape the kennel by upping the bar of our expectations from our dogs. Even though she had been declining slowly for quite some time, her loss hit us very hard. She leaves a huge hole in our heart, but we are thankful that she produced dogs that have helped replace her loss in our pack.

We haven't been too active here lately, but rest assured we are still here! We have gotten quite a few messages and emails about upcoming litters, so in an effort to stay in front of you all and to be transparent, we are letting you know what is happening around here.

We do not breed for the market, we breed for ourselves and sell extra pups from the cross. We ALWAYS keep pups from our litters, so we do not breed if we do not need to replace dogs in the working pack. Having said that, we bred a couple of litters and bought a couple of outside females in 2017 because we were getting worried about our in prime dogs aging without having any replacements ready to step in. In 2019 we had another litter in order to breed Nifty again since her first litter hit all the buttons we were hoping for. As a result, we are happy with the number of full time using dogs in our kennel right now, and will likely not be breeding again until sometime in 2022/2023 (assuming that we continue the way we are going, but we all know how easily and quickly life can change *ahem 2020*). We thank you for your interest in our program, and we always invite you contact us to talk dog and find out what our plans may be in the future.

Wishbone's Heirloom
Born April 4, 2018
https://www.crosscheckcatahoulas.com/lou

Lou is ball of energy. She's cocky and sure of herself, and never. stops. moving. She has been used on a minimal basis in the field at this point, but she is showing a lot of stop and a tendency to stick to the head of the herd. She will pushed harder this upcoming summer/fall, so we should get a better handle on what kind of punch she packs. She has been use din the woods, and has a hot to medium nose with a medium range. She's still figuring out the opening on scent thing, but once she finds a smell, she will stick to it. Lou is already started on her ABI conformation title, and we expect big things from her in all the show arenas. Look out for "Lou-cifer", she is hard to miss!

Cross Check's Weapon "Whip"

Just like his name indicates, he's a bit of a weapon. But his fun, outgoing personality will hopefully be a match for his boy, Colton's!

J Cross' CowPoke
July 6, 2015 - January 20, 2020
http://www.crosscheckcatahoulas.com/poke

We lost Poke suddenly, and for no apparent reason. He just fell asleep and never woke up. We are all reeling from such a shocking loss of this young dog, but none so much as his boy, our 8 year old son, Colton. Poke and Colton were quite the team and could be found doing everything from moving cattle to c**n hunting or trialing. His impact on our kennel is obvious when you see Colton out with the dogs.

Poke was a grandson to our own late Cross Check's CowPuncher. He was born on the day that we lost Punch, so there was no question about whether we would take a pup from the litter. He came from a long line of dogs that we have progeny out of, so we were confident that he would do well. He was a small dog, but very correct with great chest capacity, light bone and flat muscling. He was a standoffish dog, but the older he got, the more of the friendly easy going nature we like came out. Poke had a steady circle while settling cattle, and stayed up at the head or quarter back while driving. He had a hot to medium nose, and even with limited exposure in the woods, he showed us long range, and lots of staying power. He had an enormous voice, and a neat treeing style. Poke had started his trialing career, and we expected some pretty big things from him and his young handler.

Poke suffered from Dilute Color Alopecia, so while he had permanent spot with us, he was not a breeding dog.

You will be missed Poke, and never forgotten for what you added to our lives.

Poke is Colton's dog through and through. They were out helping move pairs to new grazing yesterday

Colton's First Junior Handler Class

Colton made his first attempt in the Junior Handler ring this past weekend (prior to this, he has only shown in pre-junior). A very good friend of ours, and the breeder of our Olde English Bulldogge, All Star's Hell Hath No Fury, lent Colton her puppy, All Star's Where There's a Will There's a Way "Willow", who is a Fury granddaughter. Despite the fact that neither of them had practiced, and Colton's technique was a bit rough, his effort to do his best did not go unnoticed by the judge and he won first place! Look for him and Rev, Fury or Chick to be in the show ring next season!
