Anybody here ever seen or have any experience with these types of dog?
They seem like an interesting breed. Tough like a blue heeler but bigger maybe?

Of the ones ive seen 6out of 8 eyes were marbled. If youve ever seem a dog with 2 marbled eyes your first thought will be SATAN.

Catahoula's ain't hounds they are Curs. Neat looking though.

Ok.
So I found some pics.
Definitely freaky looking.
Some other pics showed a dog going vertical----15' up a tree to a racoon in a cage (training I guess)
Looks like they can climb trees and jump to beat the band too.

They are really popular in the south/central US. I looked into them quite some time back but they weren't available up here at that time. They use them about the same as a lion dog down there but for coons and such.
Houndogger, you are on a US site aren't you? Are those Cats coming north in any real quantity yet? Fred

I am not to sure who has any Catahoulas up here but there are some. Leftcoast who was on here a while back had one. He has a couple of Lepard Curs right now. I have his male that I am droping off to him on my way to the interior on Saturday. The Lepards tree a little harder then the Catahoulas. I will talk to Keith on Saturday and ask where he got his from. I will be back in a week.

I have a Catahoula pup Ill be picking up end of Oct. Got mine from Spokane Wa. The eyes you guys are refering to are called "Glass eyes" and yes, they sometimes give people the hebegebees. In the south they are bred for hunting hogs and coons. On the coast and west they are bred as cattle dogs. They are quite independent and quite a handfull and not for everyone. Deffinatly have to show them who is boss. One of the best thing about them is that they circle. Take off but always come back within the hour. They are called "worlds most versitile dog" meaning good for everything. Hunting, ranching/herding, family, law enforcment, ect, ect, ect. Ill post pics when I get him.
