The Catahoula Leopard Dog is a multi-purpose working dog that is well-muscled and powerful, but with a sense of agility and endurance. They are serious while working and playful at home, making them the ideal pet for families on farms or ranches, hunters and avid outdoorsmen. Catahoulas love to swim and even have webbed feet! Their love of the water assures they will also be right at home with a family who owns a pool, lives near water or enjoy boating and/or fishing.
