Love my Chatahoula she's almost 10 months old born December 7th 2019 raised her since birth truly one of the best breeds of dog you can own she's so loving and independent. She loves running around my house large Place for her to run. She never fails to make me Laugh. And she learned pretty fast :)
So true! Thanks for sharing... hopefully this will help ignorant/new owners of catahoulas understand the intensity and loyalty... intelligence and curiosity. Best breed if you have some patience initially
I love my catahoula, they're great dogs. Mine lives to swim, so now I use her when I go duck hunting, she took to the commands really quickly, just like the rest of her trainig agenda.
Thanks all of you for this video. Not one of us, woman or man, can continue to live with violence hanging over our head. Cowards walk among us who use force as their cover. When we stand up in our own beauty and truth, we will help them to release their fear and move forward into their own self-acceptance and truth. The time is now. We have come to that place. Stand up and be the bright spark of love that you truly are. This comment is from Mary Tannheimer
I adopted a rescue at the pound they told me she was a pitbull. The more I research the more I think she is a catahoula hound dog . She loves to go hunting/searching. She sees a squirl, rabbit , prairie dog even mice she goes crazy to chase them. She is just not built like a pitbull . She is slim n not to stocky . I'm hoping to learn more bout the breed.
I just found my little soulmate, Deja Blu! I held her the day she was born and now I can't fathom life without her! What amazing dogs! Thank you for sharing this video!
Great video; warmed up my chilly Massachusetts day to see your wonderful dog and the Cali scenery! (Why ARE they called the White Mountains? I've seen them pink, brown, purple, hazy blue, even greenish, but white? Somewhere a Mr. White is shaking his head and saying, "No, I wanted those much larger mountains to the west to be named after me....")
My Catahoula doesn't like to swim or fetch. He does however love to run and be chased by our Aussie. Mine also poops all over our property. Sometimes right in front of the door.
I adopted my Catahoula, Seamus, from the SPCA when he was about 2 and he wasn't too well trained then but he's really nice and highly intelligent so he listens to commands and is super loving. I've been walking him with a leash, but how can I tell if it's okay to let him off and run around? How can I train him to come when called when he's so far away?
You could get a long rope and when he's at the end of it call him to you. Get him used to always coming when you call. Or take him to an enclosed dog park and call him. Slowly work up to the great outdoors until you trust he will always come when called. Birdie, the dog featured in the video hasn't ever had this problem but he was off-leash from the get go since we live in a rural area. Best of luck with the training. Catahoulas are great dogs.
Carry lots of treats and give them a few whenever he comes back and lots of praise. Don't worry about too many treats. He'll have no trouble burning off calories.
This is awesome and so true. I had two Catahoulas and they were the best dogs I ever had in my life. The are super intelligent and loyal. Love them all.
Many thanks all. Birkie has grown into a fine middle-aged hound since this was made. I've read him all the comments that you all so thoughtfully posted and he we totally pleased. Thanks, he says. He still plays in the water and runs in the desert. He is also still my muse, though we have added another family member, Matilda. The hound and her are like brother and sister and we tell them that they are in fact brother and sister. Be interesting to see what side the daughter takes. Personally, if she grew up to be a dog as good as Birkie I'd be as proud as a father on Harvard or Yale graduation day.
