Yes, I do raise Catahoulas(or Cajun Hellhounds, as I sometimes call 'em-LOL)and currently have 11 adults and 17 puppies(two litters). I hunt wild boar with them, and we encounter venomous snakes often, and also gators. Getting the dogs so accustomed to reptiles that they just seem ho-hum comes in real handy, especially when I see other people's vet bills following an encounter with a big rattler or cottonmouth, which usually happened because the dog went and jumped on the snake. Gators are a worse problem; they LOOOVE to eat dogs and will lie in ambush under the water, waiting for one to cross. The dogs usually never see them, but they are definately there. My iquana apparently thought he was a saltwater croc until the dog came inside, then he became part of the furniture, which is better than freaking out and panicking the way many igs will do around a dog, so I guess he'd been around them before I got him.
