18State Dog: Catahoula
Illustrated by:
Jonathan Williams
(Act 239) The Catahoula Leopard Dog is the only breed of dog native to Louisiana and became our
official state dog in 1979. This hound is a cross of a domestic dog the Indians of the Catahoula Lake
region raised and a Spanish "war dog" that came through the area in the early 1500's. The dog has glassy
eyes, webbed feet, and spotted coat and is gentle with children, loyal to family, and aggressive to
strangers, making it a good pet and guard dog. As a hunting dog the animal is diligent, dependable,
efficient and especially good at tracking deer, coons and squirrels.
