This beautiful litter was rescued from a high kill shelter. They are so cute and outgoing but honestly with out a mother and father we just don't know what there breed is. Based off there coloring and build we have estimated there breed as bulldog/catahoula.
Here is what Avery's foster family has to say:
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog is believed to have originated from Nordic Wolfhound being introduced some three to five hundred years before the Spanish arrived - However, no one will really know for sure. The state of Louisiana is cited as the point of origin, particularly the area of Catahoula. In 1979, the breed was designated the state dog of Louisiana. The Catahoula was named after a Parish in Northeastern Louisiana and after the mottled spots on its coat. At one time this breed was used to round up feral pigs and cattle -- livestock that had escaped, and was living in woods and swamps. It involved team effort that is highly coordinated and organized, fast paced, dangerous, and a marvel to watch. The ideal dog team usually numbers three, and they must work together. Otherwise, the one pig can kill all three in a matter of minutes. Each dog has to be aware of what the pig and the other two dogs are doing and react accordingly. Hunters sometimes used the Catahoula to trail and tree raccoons, but this dominant breed is more at home acting the thug with obstinate boars. This dog is used particularly on the difficult task of driving and rounding hogs and unruly cattle. The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog is independent, protective, and territorial. Loving with their family and all people they know well and reserved with strangers (this would include strange children). They need to make up to a person, not a person make up to them. Of course there are temperaments on both sides of this, but this is for the average dog. They mature right around 2 and it is as if a light goes on and they say to themselves "I am an adult now and I need to act grown up." This breed's reservation with strangers should not be noticed in a pup, but will show as the dog matures. Although affectionate with his master, the Catahoula is not recommended for the casual pet owner who is uninterested in allowing the dog to function in his intended capacity. For the right owner, this is a protective yet dominating canine. Signs of timidly on a leash should not be taken as cowardness, but the intolerance for strangers. This breed needs a dominant owner who shows strong leadership. They have of life expectancy of 12-13 years.
Here is what Avery's foster family has to say:
Appearance: Brown and Tan spotted
• Energy Level: High Energy level as most puppies have alot of energy
• Food: Twice a day approx 1 cup of Puppy Chow dry dog food
• Adaptability: Responds well to new situations and adapted to our dog as well as additional fosters well.
• Behaviors Likes to jump up on you for
• Human Social Skills Very Friendly is good with children
• Animal Social Skills Does not like to share her toys but is not food aggressive
• Obedience Is too young to teach commands to
• Training Is not housetrained or crate trained due to age
• Personality Quirks Very sweet and loving, very rambunctious and likes to give and receive attention. Loves to be played with, she enjoys companionship of people and other animals
• Ideal Home An ideal home would be one that has room for her to play and run around and get alot of exercise. A home with small children would not be appropriate. Someone that can take the time to potty train, obedience train and not leave alone for too long.
