The Catahoula Cur is also known as the Catahoula Leopard Dog or the Catahoula Hound. This dog is mistaken for a hound but it is a Cur. The Catahoua Cur breed originated in the United States that is known as the southern states.
This breed is a lean, athletic working dog. Due to the fact that the only reason for this specific creation and breeding is for the skills and the personality, the looks leave something to be desired. Most dogs have a set description, temperament and ability level. This is not true for the Catahoula Cur. The only two things that are absolute are the temperament and the capabilities. Everything else on the Catahoula Cur can be completely different from one dog to another,
Since the appearance can be varied, it is difficult to really describe what they will look like or what type of fur they will have. It can be woolly, shaggy, silky, or coarse. The colours on the Catahoula Cur are also a mystery and can be practically any shade or pattern imaginable.
As for the skills and personalities of this specific breed, the Catahoula Cur is a desirable dog for these two aspects. They are vibrant and energetic. They are usually not aggressive or hostile by nature but will do what it takes to protect. The abilities of the Catahoula Cur include hunting small game, such as squirrel or racoon, or even going after larger game like deer mountain lion and even bear. This canine excels at herding as well. In fact, they can effectively herd pigs, chickens, sheep and cattle.
