Catahoula Leopard Dogs in the UK General Chat

Doesn't look like a purebred Catahoula to me..lot of rescue shelters sell dogs as Catahoulas. Looks like a shepherd mix to me, maybe a Catahoula mix. And yes, they can run into trees, and climb trees..they are also bred to do treeing, baying raccoons and squirrels, but sometimes they become so gritty, they will climb the tree..

And about the Catabulldog, I just think, let a breed be a breed, why try to make designer dogs? Some people try to breed all working dogs together and create a working dogs which doens't know where to go with his energy/ intelligence..this doens't make the dogs happy! I will post a picture of a Hangin Tree Cowdog, a registered breed in USA. These are TOOOOOOOOO much to go anywhere else than on a farm working cattle or sheep!

For the people with us who own working dogs:

3/8 Border Collie for herding instinct and intelligence.
1/8 Catahoula for the ability to trail and find cattle, also for the slick hair coat and toughness.
1/4 Kelpie for endurance and also herding instinct and short hair.
1/4 Australian Shepherd, only a dog called Black Bear went into this breed.
He was an extremely tough dog with enormous ability.

Looks like a lovely dog Danielle.

Talking of lovely dogs, do you have any more photos of Apollo? I think I am his biggest fan

PS could you email that video that you said you had of him to me please? (Or upload it to youtube?) Would love to see it.

Wow! Gorgeous dogs.

The video failed..wasn't of good quality. Will post some pictures when I have a bit more time..Busy days now

What absolutely stunning dogs! xx

Hi Danielle, how did this litter get on after?

Do you have any more photos of CLDs? Know of any more litters coming up?

Gorgeous dogs!! They look lovely and their eyes are amazing!
I'm wondering, do all catahoulas have the merle gene? Does that pose any risks in breeding?

Please pleeeeeeeeease get in touch if you ever have any catahoula pups. I want to import one myself so there would be even more in the. Uk

Make sure you post pics if you do

Does any one on this site have any catahoula pups for sale?

I don't think so.

Danielle is a breeder, but I think she has moved to Australia. I think she has a breeder under her wing in the UK, but I am not sure who it is.

I emailed Danielle, hopefully she will pop on if she gets a moment.

Thank you so much. I fell in love with the breed the moment I saw one and hopefully want to buy one in England and then import one to breed with so more are available in the uk for other people to love! I know it's not gonna be cheap but I MUST have one! Thanks
