Catahoula Leopard Dog Forum:
curious about mix breed?

If any dog owners that have a Catahoula leopard dog could tell me what they think of thier dog I would appreciate it. Ive never heard of a Leopard dog and would like to learn a little about their characteristic and demeanor around other pets and children. thank you for your time in answering my email message.

please head subject line in reference to this inquiry for easy attention.

I have a 3 year old female who I have used on goats and cows. She lives in the house with 2 other dogs, 2 cats, 1 rabbit and 1 ferret. She is a very affectionate dog, but also very predatory. She cannot be trusted around small animals, and likes to chase anything that moves. She is very gentle with cats and small children. But she is wary of anyone she doesnt know, and a great guard dog. She is a blue leopard with yellow eyes (People find it intimidating, since she likes to stare), and a stubby tail. I have taught her the command "WATCH!" its fun to see her spring up and stare at the cows, people near my car, or people on the streets at night. I am really lucky to have such a great dog. Although, she is independant and headstrong as well. I highly recommend this breed, IF you have the time to properly train and excercise them.
