Catahoula male

Modesto CA

Description

The Catahoula lineage is unknown. One theory suggests the breed originated in the mid-1700s when French settlers emigrated to what became Louisiana with Beauceron dogs. The settlers crossbred their dogs with well-adapted swamp hunting wolfdogs owned by Native Americans in an effort to develop a better working dog. In the 1800s, breeding intensified in an effort to develop a family dog that was well-suited to work, hunt, and guard yet good with children.[citation needed] On July 9, 1979, in recognition of the historic significance of the Catahoula cur to the State of Louisiana, Governor Edwin Edwards signed House Bill #75 officially naming the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog as the state dog.[1][2] On January 1, 1995, the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog was recognized by the United Kennel Club (UKC).[3] In 1996, the AKC added the Catahoula Leopard Dog into their Foundation Stock Service He has first shots.
