History "Legend has it that the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog evolved in the swamps of central Louisiana, around the Catahoula Lake and forest. Folklore tells of the probability of our dog's ancestorship being the red wolf and/or Indian dogs, of that time period, mating with the embattled war dogs of the Spanish explorers. Handed-down stores, tell of settlers to the Catahoula Lake area, finding this mottled, spotted-up dog with strange eyes and used them for hunting deer, raccoon and bobcat. The settlers learned to appreciate the dog's technique in trailing by wind, baying and herding. As the many stores were told, soon the Catahoulas - as people started calling them - were working cattle, hunting wild hogs and guarding the home place." -The National Association of Louisiana Catahoulas, Inc.
