Wanna see Freckles? You got it!!! =D

[luckies4me]

Oh man, I just got done taking a TON of pictures of Freckles! :D I just found out how hard it is to try and make her do a trick while taking a picture of it at the same time LOL. I chopped off her head in almost every picture. :rolleyes: :o

First I took some pics of her and her toy. Those pics were taken about a week ago. Today I took some of her and her bone, and "dancing" and "sitting pretty" as well as "speak" and a few cute face shots. ENJOY! :D



It's Toy Time!

What a gorgeous girl you are!! I wish Heidi could sit pretty. The couple times I tried she feel over on her back. :rolleyes: We need to work on balance. :) What kind of dog is Freckles? Shes one cutie! Thanks for sharing!

[luckies4me]

Freckles is a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Black Lab mix. It took her awhile to get sit pretty down too. Just keep working with her. =)

When you got Freckles you said she was lab/ aussie. :confused: You said "You know, that is exactly what I thought in the beginning and looking at her dad I thought for sure he was a Catahoula! But the owner insisted he was lab/aussie. I know there is Aussie in there for sure, as I saw the other puppies in Freckles litter. There were long haired blue eyed red and blue merles, some looked purebred, though they weren't."

Her dad doesn't look like a catahoula... :confused:
http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/v74/luckies4me/Merle%20pup/dad2.jpg

[luckies4me]

I asked several different breeders of Cats, and yes she most definitely has Catahoula in her. My FIRST thought was Catahoula, but the lady insisted the dad was Aussie/lab as that is what the vet told her. Upon furthur research it's only obvious she has Catahoula in her. ;) Plus, there are some purebred Catties that look identical to Freckles. So yes, that is what she is. Catahoula/Lab

[wolfsoul]

Isn't it more likely that, assuming she has catahoula in her, she is lab/aussie/catahoula, since the father has too long of hair and a different body structure than a catahoula, and there were longhaired pups in the litter?

Sorry, I forgot to mention how cute tte pictures are. :D

[K9soul]

She's a cutie pie. She reminds me so much of my first doggie love, an Australian shepherd/German shorthair pointer mix named Tripper. He was marked just like her but had a docked tail and a dudley nose.

Actually the father's hair isn't long at all. It's actually very short and dense, like Freckles fur. :) I honestly don't think they have Aussie in them. After studying Catahoula pup pictures it's obvious they weren't mixed with Aussie. They were more fluffy, not long coated. I have pics of the other pups somewhere. All had short hair though when they were older, so I'm pretty confident they were Catty mixes. They had markings just like Catahoulas and some with the iced eyes. So beautiful!

Glad you like the photos. =)

[CamCamPup33]

I agree Jordan, She does look like a lab/aussie....

You can definitely see the lab, but I don't see any Catahoula.

Those pictures were adorable! :)

[delidog]

Oh!!!
Thank You!!!!

Thank You for posting pics of Your Beautiful Freckles!!!!!!!!!
She is GORGEOS!!!!!




WE LOVE FRECKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally see the Catahoula in Freckles! her structure and face reminds me of a catahoula, nothing like an aussie. she is too big to be an aussie!! :p and her coat has a lot of splotchy merle patches like cata's, blue merle aussies are usually lighter, with white and/or tan points. I seriously see no Aussie in her face, but lots of catahoula gorgeousness..

[BCBlondie]

Here's a purebred Catahoula:
http://www.stenata.cz/catahoula/foto/angel.jpg

I see a bigger possibility of the dog being a Catahoula/Lab mix, than it having any Australian Shepherd.. O_o I see no Aussie in that dog, except maybe just the COLORS.... The dog's dense coat may be from the Lab part of him, as Labs have a dense coat to protect against cold water when retrieving in the water.
http://users.belgacom.net/ugc/image/labrador.jpg
You can see how the Lab's coat is a little longer than the Catahoula's...

Anyway, that's just my opinion.. :)
Whatever Freckles is, she sure is a cutie! I love her smile. She always looks so happy. :D

[wolfsoul]

I don't see any aussie, but I really don't see any catahoula either. It's easier when you put her picture up to a catahoula picture that's almost the same colour as her -- but look at these catahoulas that aren't the same colour. I don't see any resemblence in the structure or fur. :confused:

[GoldenRetrLuver]

I agree with Jordan.. Catahoulas's aren't a very common breed, and I think the possibility of Freckles being mixed with one is very small. The body structure looks completely different as well, IMO. I'm not sure if I see Aussie.. but I definately see Lab.

Whatever Freckles is, she's really cute. :) I love her Merle coloring!

[luckies4me]

Well her mom was a purebred Lab, so we know that part already LOL. :p

[luckies4me]

It's obvious from her MARKINGS she has Catahoula in here. Compare Catahoula Markings to those of Aussies. Several people including my vet have asked if she was a Catahoula, never any mention of Aussie. Plus, the breeder I talked to was pretty certain she was a Catahoula Mix. Plus the breed isn't as rare around here. The reason I know about them is because we had two in our local shelter, and a beautiful girl who was brought into the vet clinic I worked at. :) There's also a few breeders in the area.

And it doesn't make sense to judge the full body, as she is a MIX, not a purebred. Of course she is not going to look exactly like the breed. Of course her fur and body structure is going to be different because she is mixed with lab. ;)

Here are some Catahoula pictures. A lot of these dogs look very similar to Freckles, even face wise. Remember, Freckles is also still a puppy. ;)

I just emailed another breeder so I am hoping to hear back from them soon.

Check out the Catahoula/Siba Inu mix. SOOO cute! :D

The reason the spots look different is because an aussie is a longhaired breed -- spots look more defined on a short haired breed. Compare the merle spots on a rough collie to those on a smooth collie. The smooth collie will obviously have markings more like a catahoula. Either way, it is still the merle gene -- there is no "difference" between merle in one dog, and merle in another.

[luckies4me]

Well comparing Aussies I see online to her, their markings are very very different. They are more widely dispersed, broken up spots, not all crunched together like this. Plus, you would think being mixed with Aussie some of the pups in her litter would resemble Aussies more, except coloring and having blue eyes. Looking at the Aussies, most have white patches, they have VERY VERY long hair, and you would think at least one pup would be coated like an Aussie. They all remained short haired. Either way, I see nothing similar in Freckles and her siblings that would remind me of Aussie. The only reason I thought they were mixed when babies was because of the red merle pup in the litter. heh. The breeder emailed me back and this is what he said.
"Possibly a mix of Catahoula or Australian Cattle Dog.
No way to be sure.

Obvious no way to be sure, this is just a guess. Heard Australian Cattle Dog once before, but again she has none of their characteristics. So for now, I think it's safe to say she's a Catahoula/Llab mix. =)

Freckles is adooooraaableeeeee
