Here are a couple of photos. She is quite shy around the camara. She was a found dog. I found her in my back pasture, in real bad shape. She was only about 6-8 months old at the time and had really been mistreated by someone or something. She's turned out to be a great dog. She was easy to house train but hard to teach to come when called and to stay in her yard. She has learned that now. Catahoulas are supposed to be cattle dogs but some folks around here use them for "hog dogs". She's actually afraid of the distant squeels of the ferral hogs (they live along the Sabine River bed which is within calling distance from my back pasture). She also doesn't like the sound of gun fire at all. She runs into the house and buries her head in the couch pillows. She does love to run and we take her on long walks; however, she is really a couch potato at heart. She doesn't like the cold--I've read that they only have one coat layer. All in all she reminds me a lot of a Doberman. Same energy level, same goofy personality, and same need for consistant training.
