Also known as the Catahoula Hog Dog, these dogs are descended from war dogs brought by the Spaniards and dogs owned by Native Americans. By 1979 they were designated the state dog of Louisiana.

The "leopard" in their name is because of the mottled spots on their coat. At one time "Cats" were used to round up feral pigs and cattle that had escaped and were living in woods and swamps. But these dogs are more at home rounding up recalcitrant boars. They are not easy to train and need experienced handling.

Coat colors are merle and black & tan. The coat requires minimal grooming. These dogs weigh 40 to 50 lbs. and stand 20-26" at the shoulders.
