This looks exactly like the Redbone puppy I found.
I saw someone going down I 99 at least 70 mph with a border collie totally unrestrained clinging to the tool box in the open back of his pickup....the dog knew it was in danger and was holding on for dear life with its head hidden between its front paws. I still regret not calling the HIghway Patrol.
Awww, what big paws on that puppy! Redbone always have the laidback coolness about them. Did you keep him?
I couldn't--I was in a dorm:0(. But the college cook took him and he was a nice man.
Don't be fooled Catscan... on top of the tool box seems to be the preferred spot of BC and Blue Heelers. I mean, they could ride in the bed like your average Rottie or Lab, but noooo... comes from being kicked in the head by livestock? Thrill seeker genes?
In any case, theoretically humans are supposed to be smart enough to figure out how to protect their dogs from becoming projectiles...
oh wait, we had to pass seat belt laws to keep US from becoming projectiles.
Somebody said once.... laws are for stupid people, 'cause smart people don't need to be told to buckle up, don't drive drunk, don't leave loaded guns where the kids can get them, and don't use power lawn mowers to trim your hedges.
Honest to gawd, how'd we end up at the top of the evolutionary tree?
I'm not sure all of us are.
Reminds me of the day our toy poodle attacked a herd of cows. My daughter was crying, and screaming at the top of her lungs, "IZZY COME BACK," so afraid he would be hurt.
What in the world was that dog thinking? He had probably never seen a cow in his life before that day.
He could run too. Like a bullet shot out of a gun, he headed straight for them full throttle, and chased them all around, back and forth, back and forth, for quite some time. Either the shock of this crazy little ball of fur running at them wore off, or they were just too tired to run anymore, they finally stopped. They probably wondered to themselves, "Why are we, the GREAT BIG cows, running from a little squirt like this?" One put her head down and charged him. A couple of rounds of that and he decided to come back to us.
It was quite a comical scene really, after he was back safe in our arms.
ROTFLMAO!!!
IMHO, and to be sure that's all it is :) , she looks like a mix because her muzzle seems to be a bit too pointed. Maybe because she is young. All the Catahoula's I have ever seen have "houndish" heads like the one in the link. Even the females. May have been the line they used. They are used for hog dogs and hunting in general where I grew up in South La. They make very good squirrel dogs.
It is common to cross Catahoulas with Pitts for great hog dogs. I'd not reccomend the cross for any other situation. It's like crossing "can do" with "will do" and can be dangerous if not handled correctly. Lots of times, it makes a wonderful dog but the possibility of problems is always there. My son has a female of the cross and her temperment is very good but he is lucky with her. I have seen it go the other way many times. I wouldn't reccomend crossing Pitts with any other breed. They are great dogs when purebreds. I love them and have been blessed to have many of them but they do need to be handled with a firm, fair hand. They are not a breed for everyone.
This is my son'd dog. Her name is socks.
