The Catahoula Leopard Dog is so called because of its characteristic spots of different colors, though it can also have a mostly solid coat. Catahoulas originated in the United States of America — in Louisiana. They stand about 22 to 24 inches high and weigh between 50 and 95 pounds. A working dog, the Catahoula Leopard may be a watchdog, guard dog, or stock, bay or tree dog. Agile and strong, these are highly independent dogs that thrive on activity and in open spaces. They are best suited to a special person with experience in dog training.
