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

32°F to 55°F

Generally mild, but periodic ice storms can make sidewalks and trails dangerous for a few days at a time. Have indoor enrichment plans ready for icy days, and keep paw wax on hand for salty surfaces. Most winter days are comfortable for regular outdoor walks on the trail network.

Spring

48°F to 78°F

Pleasant temperatures make spring ideal for exploring Plano’s extensive hike-and-bike trails. Severe thunderstorm and tornado risk peaks during this season, so keep a pet emergency plan in place. Wildflowers along the trail system make for scenic walks with your pet.

Summer

75°F to 97°F
