About Catahoula Bulldogs
The "Catahoula Bulldog" is a recognized hybrid created by crossing specifically the Catahoula Leopard Dog and the American Bulldog.
The Catahoula Bulldog originated over 100 years ago in the southern US. The Catahoula Bulldog is created from a direct cross between two specific breeds: the Catahoula Leopard Dog and the American Bulldog, with the selection of the breeding parents being dependent upon desired working ability, rather than appearance. The Catahoula Bulldog is the result of combining two well suited breeds to gain certain characteristics that you may not get by leaving the two separate. They were originally popular in the southern United States for their strong working abilities for tasks including hunting, working stock and protection.
In 1951, Mr. Stodghill of the Animal Research Foundation began registration of the hybrid "Catahoula Bulldogs" thus beginning their public recognition. According to the ARF in 1960, Howard Carnathan contacted Mr. Stodghill writing, "I needed a dog that would be a companion and protector to my children and home yet also was in need of a dog that would help with the farming duties. The mixture of the Catahoula bulldog fit my purpose exactly." In 1962 Bart Perry of Midlothian, Texas had been active in raising the American Bulldog and in 1968 he became the first ARF Certified Breeder of Catahoula bulldogs.
The Catahoula Bulldog is a medium to large sized dog that is an athletic, non-bulky, full muzzled/free breathing and versatile working dog. They are protective and loyal companions and working partners with a high eagerness to please. They are an animated and personable dog, sometimes very vocal. Aloofness with strangers is not uncommon, however they should not show outward aggressiveness to people or other animals unless provoked. Generally the Catahoula Bulldog posses a magnified intelligence, endurance, drive to please and prey drive of both the Catahoula and American Bulldog. Physically they often favor the Catahoula while being slightly heavier boned with a robust skull and strong jaw. The Catahoula Bulldog may be 50% Catahoula Leopard Dog and 50% American Bulldog in a first generation cross, with succeeding generation crosses of up to 75%-25% in either direction.
We don't support the outcrossing of the Catahoula breed to other breeds. Please realize the Catahoula Bulldog is a very old hybrid of two working breeds to better suit a specific purpose for those who wanted them. It was not produced to improve or change either breed by itself, but to create a hybrid of multi purpose by bringing together the best attributes of each.
