Catahoula Bulldog

[LandCruiser]

A friend wants to pay me a debt by giving me a 25/75 Catahoula Bulldog. He breeds them for ranch work and hog/bear hunting--which I have no need for, but also said that the dog would pretty much scare the hell out of any coyote for miles... which would be nice because we have lots of the damn things and you really can't shoot them with all the liberals around.

Anyone have any experience with this breed?

This is the only photo I could find of a 25/75 as they call it.

Can't tell you about the C.Bulldog, but we do from time to time dog sit a neighbors pure bred Catahoula Leopard dog.

VERY smart dog! Learns very quickly (scary quick).

Strong hunting instincts. We made a game out of squirrel hunting. She'll sit by the window (we call it 'Doggy TV') guarding the feeder until she sees a squirrel, and then will give a quiet whine to let me know. I open the front door, and she races around to the back to 'GET THAT SQUIRREL'.

When excited she is very vocal, except when she is in hunting mode.

Very loyal to 'her people'.

I could keep going, but if the C.Bulldog has the best traits from both breeds you would be getting a great companion with a strong hunting drive. I've also found that in hunting breeds it's best to get a female as they tend to:

1. Not wander
2. Are more loyal to 'their pack'
3. Less likely to be distracted during training sessions.

Note: Unless you intend to breed your dog - don't forget to spay/neuter. Makes them less likely to 'wander'.

Well, the pups are a bit young, but I'll probably pick one of them up in a week or two. The wife seems to like the idea of having a critter in the house.

I'd be interested in how the puppy progress goes. Start training as soon as the puppy comes home!

Don't forget the baby pictures!!!

I have 3 catahoula leopards and think they've been the best dogs I've had.

We got the oldest when she was a tiny puppy. She's a herder and works the other dogs and my son regularly. She won't put up with shit from the other dogs or the cats bickering with each other and will quell any domestic disturbances she can. She is a fantastic alert dog and "patrols" her territory regularly. That said, when my wife and I or my son and I wrestle or play aggressively with each other - no matter if they're "on top" or "winning," she always regulates the situation by trying to control ME.

One of the others is both blind and deaf and has been since he was born. You wouldn't know however unless I told you as he has my house and yard mapped out in his brain and accomplished most of that within the first week of being with us. His sense of smell is astonishing.

The third is as dumb as a box of rocks. He was "on the run" when he was found and rescued.

This breed of bulldogs is very unique and rare with a heavy big size head and bone structure. The Catahoula bulldog is a crossbred between the Catahoula Cur and the American Bulldog.
