About the Catahoula Leopard Dog

The Catahoula Leopard Dog is a large dog breed originating in United States (Louisiana). Adult dogs typically weigh 50 to 95 pounds and live 10 to 14 years. The breed is described as independent, work-driven, protective, energetic.

Experienced, active owners with secure fencing who give the dog a job. A serious working herder and hunter that needs early socialisation. First-time owners, sedentary or apartment homes, or households with free-roaming small pets.

Adult Catahoula Leopard Dogs need about 90 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 120 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
