Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog

The Catahoula originated in North Central Louisiana in the geographic area around the Catahoula Lake from which it got its name. The first settlers to that area of Louisiana found the woods full of wild hogs and these Indian dogs that were indigenous to the area. The Spanish explorers had their "war dogs" with them and they were described as bloodhounds, mastiffs and greyhounds. Legend claims that these war dogs cross bred with the native Indian dogs and produced a new breed or crossbreed for the surviving Native Americans.
