The Catahoula Leopard Dog is also called the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog. This name is attributed to the belief that the dog was initially bred in northern Louisiana. It is an impressive dog breed. Many groups of people bred dogs to fulfill specific working-class holes. This dog lives to work in the swamps of Louisiana.
The Catahoula Leopard Dog is a muscular dog, average in stature with a considerable amount of variations in its leopard-like coat patterns. He is an extremely energetic dog, requiring a great deal of exercise. The need for activity makes him not an appropriate pick for those that live in apartments or small homes.
This beautiful pup is selective in where his affections lie. When he is with his family, he is a very loyal and loving dog with a gentle temperament. This dog has a stubborn streak, making him independent and requiring a strong-willed trainer. This independent attitude is part of his breeding, from working effectively far out in the swamps of Louisiana.
