A hound with heart, the Catahoula Leopard Dog is affectionate, gentle and loyal to her family. She craves interaction, and she thrives on the company of children. That being said, she may not be a good fit for every household as a watchdog or guard dog because she can become overprotective of her family.
These dogs have intense exercise needs and need a fenced-in backyard or rural home to burn off energy, otherwise they may engage in destructive behaviors like digging and chewing. They also need a lot of mental stimulation, such as training for agility and obedience events or several daily walks.
The Leopard in this breed’s name refers to the multicolored spots on their coats, which can vary in length and color from dog to dog. The breed’s coat is usually a solid color with multicolored accents, but they can also be merle or solid-color with a white chest or face.
The exact origin of the Catahoula is a bit murky, but it’s generally believed that European mastiffs and bloodhounds were bred with red wolves that had been domesticated by the local Choctaw tribes to create herding dogs. These were then crossed with the hounds of French fur trappers in Louisiana, creating the modern Catahoula. It was named the state dog of Louisiana in 1979. The United Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1998 under the name of leopard cur, while the American Kennel Club Foundation Stock Service added it to the herding group in 2012.
