The Catahoula in him is from pig hunting lines, they're known for a super keen nose and plenty of kiwi/Aussie/yanks run them on pigs and quite a few yanks run them as deer dogs or blood trackers. I guess the heading dog slows him down a bit and injects a bit more intelegence. I've only heard him bark twice in his life so the heading dog bit obviously shuts them up a bit and makes them more likely to eye something up rather than go into chase mode
