About Catahoula Leopard Dog Dogs

Catahoula Leopard Dogs are striking, versatile working dogs from Louisiana, named for Catahoula Parish. They are known for their distinctive merle coat patterns and often have striking glass eyes (heterochromia). They were originally bred to herd wild hogs and cattle in the swamps.

Adopting a Catahoula brings an intelligent, independent companion who is fiercely loyal to their family. They need an experienced owner who can provide firm, gentle leadership and plenty of exercise. In the right home, they are affectionate and protective family dogs.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

50°F to 72°F

Dec – Feb

The most comfortable season for outdoor pet activities, with lower humidity and pleasant temperatures. Occasional cold fronts can drop overnight lows into the 40s, so have a light jacket for short-haired pets. This is peak season for enjoying Orlando’s lakefront trails and parks.

Spring

58°F to 85°F

Mar – May

Warming days and increasing humidity signal the transition toward summer. Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes become increasingly active, so ensure all preventatives are current. Morning walks remain comfortable, but afternoon heat builds quickly by May.

Summer

74°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid conditions with daily afternoon thunderstorms define Orlando summers. Walk pets only in early morning, and bring them indoors before afternoon storms arrive with dangerous lightning. Standing water after heavy rains can harbor parasites, so keep pets away from puddles and ditches.
