Catahoula Rescue Information: The Catahoula, or Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, is an intelligent, loyal, and territorial breed. Catahoulas are affectionate with their own families but intolerant of strangers. Catahoulas need a lot of time and attention from their owners and are best matched with people who have experience training intelligent dogs. A Catahoula that is left alone and ignored may become aggressive or destructive. Early socialization is imperative, especially with children. Catahoulas are very physical and need a lot of exercise. Some can adapt to apartment life while others cannot; the safest bet is a home with a large fenced yard or open land.

Catahoula Trivia: Catahoulas only need to be bathed about twice a year. Catahoulas are probably descended from the Nordic Wolfhound. Teams of Catahoulas were once used to control feral pigs. Catahoulas are especially well suited to boar hunting.
