So great to see a Cat in action. All you uninformed dog "experts".. The Catahoula Leopard Dog is the state dog of Louisiana. Now if you tried to tell me he was a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever I'd know you made it up.
My Catahoula loved agility and pretty much would do anything I wanted him to try. There is a lot of variety in the looks of the breed - from very mastiff looking to more traditional "Hound" to ones that could be mistaken for Aussie Cattle dogs (the more common place people see the Blue Merle color).
I agree! Tired of WMG. But Great dog though! I am just so in love with CLD, I've been researching them for a while and met one too. But you've given new hope because I definitely want a dog that can do Frisbee and agility.
Hate to tell ya'll, but Crash is a pb Catahoula..........runt of a litter that couldn't be sold and was dumped into our county pound, papers and all. Yes, it's pretty obvious he comes from cruddy lines, not your typical 'houla in body type and looks, but 110% 'houla in personality. We love him for what he is! A good dog, period.
I am the owner of a purebred Catahoula who not only plays Frisbee but can fetch and catch like no other. They area very versatile intelligent dog who I believe could be trained to do just about anything.
Bred to herd wild boar and cattle, they can even climb trees. They are a wonderful intelligent breed and anyone who has a dog that even has part Catahoula in them is very lucky and has a friend for life.
Wow, so many opinions on the Catahoula. So much misinformation.
I suggest some people do a search on the breed and so some reading up. Don Abney has a great book in print on the breed with accurate information. There is such a breed, it is a purebred, (although NOT AKC) and the name is not a mixed breed quirky name. It comes from the fact the dog is the state dog of Louisiana and centered around Catahoula Parrish.
Catahoulas come in many color variations and some DO have bob tails.
Do your research. They are very much a real breed. True Catahoula breeders don't want to join the AKC because it will take away from the true hunting and herding qualities of the dog in favor of physical traits.

..how the crap does it do that? These dogs have been so interbred that their breed SUCKS. They're no good anymore, and that's a crying shame because they were once a gorgeous breed. THIS is NOT a catahoula. There appear to be NO catahoulas anymore, they're all interbred out and horrible looking. Crying shame too..
There might be a little catahoula (but sure doesn't look like it) but no where near a pure bred - wrong build and look at that tail!!! No catahoula has ever had tail that short.
Yep, catahoulas don't normally like discs, it has taken 5 yrs of training to get Crash to play. He is a purebred, runt of the litter dumped at the pound when they couldn't sell him.

My old dog looked at you like you were crazy. "So, you're throwing it, and now you want ME to get it FOR you? ...why?

Definitely not a purebred Catahoula. Looks like an Australian Shepherd mix. He's very good though.

Catahoulas AREN'T full breeds. Ever see one in the AKC? That's because it's a mixed breed that people gave a quirky name to.

very true....my Catahoula Patch will just sit and look at you like you're crazy if you try to get him to play fetch or discs.
LOL he watches it float to the ground then looks back at ya like..."okay, now go pick it up."

Looks like a catahoula/aussie cross to me or maybe catahoula/border collie cross. Catahoulas as a general rule don't like doing frisbees.
