The idea that Native Americans bred their dogs with or from red wolves is not supported by recent DNA work. Several recent studies have looked at the remains of prehistoric dogs from American archaeological sites. In fact, these studies indicate that Native Americans brought several lines of already domesticated dogs with them on their journeys from Asia to North America.

That maybe so, but - documentation of the explorations of DeSoto, LaSalle and then of Tonti "the iron hand" reported that the native dog of this area looked like the native red wolf and the only difference was that the wolf howled and the native's dog barked.

It was near the APPALACHICOLA AREA, headed south into Tampa, that I was first introduced to this 'exotice' (for a Midwestern gal such as myself) magnificent Catahoula. I passed up several opportunities to be owned by one, becuz I had the Piglet dog with me, and well...there ya go. goal: get me a Catahoula dog...or some simular cur

@bleighly

you may get a simular "cur" but only a catahoula is a CATAHOULA. They are truely a one of a kind (of course I am prejudiced!)

Thanks so much for this video! I have my first Catahoula, Carley, 3 mo. old now, and she is a dream! A little hard-headed but such a joy!

My catahoula - Gold Star Britches will be featured on Animal Planet 101. We spent last week filming in New York City. The filming crew was amazed on how well Britches listened and was able to finish ahead of schedule. Britches caught alot attention as he walk down 5th Avenue. I knew he would turn heads after they seen him in action. One smart animal! Your video is presented very well- Great job!

Thanks for this it was very interesting. They are a wonderful dog for thier purpose and I admire them very much. I do think that red wolf part is wrong but most is right. I'm very sad about the use of catch dogs and don't understand it. With dogs like these in the world, why would anyone use a catch dog? It's dangerous and stupid. The Catahoula is smart and quick and can avoid puma claws and boar tusks and immobilize the prey for the hunter to do the hunting, not the dog. That's the right

I had a Catahoula years ago and he was one of the best dogs I ever had...he had a blue merle coat and the classic glass eyes. I had never heard of the breed until I purchased him when I was on a visit to Tennessee. His name was Blue and he was my baby. One thing I noticed about him was he tended to be a one person dog as he would tolerate other people but he was all mine or should I say I was all his...LOL!!

I have 4 catahoulas and i just find them so fasinating. I don,t own them they own me. 2 of them come from the greyhound line cause they have the longer thinner nose and 1 of them looks like the red wofk in color and then there is my 11month old who is most definatly the mastive line. Broad think nose and mulit colored brown white and blue merle. And oh my goodnes does he slobber.. Graet dogs will neveer own any other dogs..

@sotpagrl I have had one for about 4 years now, and I have never had a better dog. I found her in the woods, and I didn't even know what kind of dog she was. I had to do some research as i had never heard of this breed. I imagine she is a mix of Catahoula and something else, but her blue leopard Merle coat and features are undoubtedly those of a Catahoula. It was no work at all to house break her, and she is very loyal and protective of her family.

What began as the filming of an ordinary day in September of 2001 turns out to be the most complete chronicle of 9/11 attacks. New 9/11 movie on dvd: 'Tuesday Morning in September' 2011 For more information about how to get the dvd, please go to the channel that posted this. (special for veterans and spouses active and reserve - to be found-in radio interviews about the chronicle posted on blog, and facebook) I love Catahoulas; that's my favorite breed.
