Description
Posted Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog (medium coat). Hey there, I'm Nevaeh! Spending time with me is like...my name spelled backwards - heaven! It's easy to see that I'm a beauty, but what you might not know is that I'm also SO affectionate with my people. I can be shy with new people, mainly men, which is why I may seem barky in my kennel, but I do warm up with a few treats. I'm dog friendly and have enjoyed spending time in playgroups, and I've also recently discovered I like water! I wade around in the kiddie pool to cool down after some zoomies. I know sit and have been working on paw and leash manners (I walk quite well on the leash now!). Please let me show you what a sweet girl I am - ask to meet me today!

Overview:
The Catahoula Leopard Dog is a striking and intelligent breed, originating in the southern United States, particularly Louisiana, where they were bred as versatile working dogs. Their most distinctive physical feature is their "leopard" spotted coat, which comes in a stunning array of colors and patterns, often accompanied by captivating "cracked" or "glass" eyes. These medium-to-large dogs possess a strong, muscular build, reflecting their heritage as agile hunters and herders. Temperamentally, Catahoulas are known for being independent, alert, and protective, yet also deeply loyal to their families. They thrive on having a "job" to do and require significant mental and physical stimulation, making them unsuitable for apartment living and best suited for active families with experience handling strong-willed dogs. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to deafness (especially in dogs with excessive white markings) and hip dysplasia. Proper socialization and consistent training from a young age are crucial for a well-adjusted Catahoula.
