Carson Kennel

You will never find a more loving, intelligent dog than a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog. Originating in the state of Louisiana legend has it that this breed evolved in the swamps of Central Louisiana, around the Catahoula Lakes. Folklore tells of the probability of our dog's ancestorship being the red wolf and/or Indian dogs mating with the embattled war dogs of the Spanish Explorers. The first

white settlers of the Catahoula Lake area found this strange breed of dog with mottled spots and white eyes, and called them Catahoula, meaning "beautiful clear water". The settlers learned to appreciate the dogs technique in trailing by wind, baying and herding, and soon they had the dogs working cattle. They can be used as a stock dog, bay dog, tree dog, companion and guard dog. They also can be entered and participate in beauty contests. Our dogs receive regular check-ups, are up to date on all vaccinations to include 7 way, Rabies, and Lyme disease shots, receive monthly heart guard, and nutritious dog food. Additionally, all three of our dogs were potty trained by 4 months old, live indoors, groom easy, and can do tricks such as sit, and they even give paw for treats. It took about 20 minutes for them to understand this command because they are the utmost intelligent.
