If you were to ask us, not only would we reiterate these sentiments but we will also add that the Catahoula, in all it's diversity, is an experience unlike anything else you will ever encounter. While these animals are undeniably some of the most remarkable creatures alive & it truly takes remarkable people to appreciate, love and nurture everything the Catahoula stands for. |
I'm Interested Now What?
If you have never been owned by a Catahoula consider a few things before solidifying any decision to purchase one:
|
| I'm Still Interested We cannot emphasize "research" enough. Read books. A good one to have is "The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog" by Don Abney. Contact your local breeder and ask questions. See if you can get an appointment to meet their dogs. If you have trouble finding a breeder let us know and we will help you. We know of a few good ones. Know what you are buying. Research the dog's pedigree. And please make sure any dog you purchase has had it's eyes, ears, and if older than 6 months of age, it's hips tested. Help us keep the Catahoula the amazing dog it is today. |
| Should I Consider a Rescue? We strongly support rescues. Thousands of dogs every year are left homeless or neglected. Some rescues may be difficult in the hands of the less experienced and others will be a walk in the park. However, it is very possible to find your next companion or working dog in a local shelter or with a breed organization. Most breeders will "take back" unwanted dogs from their litters and place them in another home as well. If a rescue dog is for you, please contact your local shelter or any of the listed Catahoula rescues and they will be happy to match you with a companion suited to your lifestyle.
