Description
Dog Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog (short coat). Alexander aka “Axel Rose” is a roughly 3-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog mix who weighs roughly 45 pounds. He is a very sweet and bashful little boy. Axel came to us after living his whole life on a 5-foot chain scraping by with the bare minimum. Since we’ve had him, his personality has started to shine. He is a total cuddle bug. He’s a little shy at first but a few treats in and he’s ready for all the love you have to offer. He has a new appreciation for play time and toys. It seems like everything, no matter how small to us, is a big first for him. And it’s really the cutest thing ever watching him explore and learn the world that’s on the other side of a 5-foot chain. He has exceeded expectations in many ways. Since being with us Axel has not had one single accident, not even in his kennel. He has thrived with every dog he’s encountered; he even takes correction very well. He is so gentle when taking treats. And he seems to really like children. Alexander would make a great family dog; he’s just waiting on the right family to decide… “He’s the one”! Alexander is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. His adoption fee is $495. Please fill out an application at .ehrdogs and give this happy boy the wonderful home he deserves. He can't wait to be part of your family!

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.
