Sorry, but may I ask if anyone can tell me what color the first dog pictured on this site is? (Tommy Boy) and is Bleu Moon's Camano Rose's color just called lemon brindle? I really like these dogs!

i'd just call it a light brindle...i'm probably wrong though. he sure is pretty though.

Oh, Jordan.. where are you! ;)

If you click on Tommy's picture, it says he's a Grey Leopard with Patchwork, and if you click on Camano Rose's picture, it says she's a Red Brindle Leopard with a White Shield.

Beautiful dogs, I'm just starting to read up on them.

[bckrazy]

:) yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. . Grey leopard, he almost looks like a Red leopard though. . those dogs are SO ridiculously cute, the CLD we know named Smokey is a Grey leopard with patchwork too.

beautiful dogs!
im starting to like them alot also:o

She isn't a red brindle -- not sure why it says that...:confused: She is a yellow brindle. She could also be called a yellow brindle leopard.

Those are red brindle catahoula pups on the left..

As you can see, there is a very big difference in these two colours.

But the other catahoula does look like a grey patchwork to me. :) It's an interesting colour, but I prefer it when it is diluted to blue.

Tahnks so much evryone! I clicked and read their pages but I must have missed that part! I think grey patchwork is my favorite color!!:D

I know this is an old topic, but has anyone ever seen a red catahoula with a light tan underside. Not tan points, but under the throat and between the legs is light tan. I have this pup I'm trying to figure out her breed. She bays like a hound and she is a deep dark red (not chocolate) but she doesn't have long hound ears. I'm thinking Catahoula but I can't find any pics of a red Houla to compare to.

he is a red lepeord. click on his pic and it says right there. lol

She bays like a hound
Catahoulas do not have a "hound" bark -- they just have an everyday regular bark. :)

Just to update everyone on the breeder with these dogs, she is not reputable at all. Unfortunatly the thread I made appears to have been deleted (for what reason I am not sure) but the woman who breeds these dogs is crazy -- not only are her dogs not worked or shown, but she breeds them when they are still puppies and encourages others to do so as well.

[dab_20]

That's crazy! Poor dogs... :(

That's good to know, thanks. She's a mix though so maybe whatever she's mixed with is hound. I wonder what a Catahoula/Redbone Coonhound would look like mixed. :confused:

I think the color naming schemes between different breeds can be pretty bewildering! Not knowing catahoulian lingo, I'd just have called that dog a liver with merle pattern. :confused:

Seems like 'leopard' is a term used to describe merling, and 'red' is used both for genetic red and for genetic liver on those pages. I don't know much about the 'glass' eye color (usually this happens in some breeds because a dilute factor is on that part of the face).

Having said all that, I love the tanpoint Samantha girl, with pseudo-irish pinto marks. Those swirly merle marks on one side of Samantha's head and her odd colored eyes make her so distinctly beautiful! I read the page for her and get the impression that she is really a most special girl!

This is my first post to the forum. I'm not terribly chatty, nor do I often read forums, but I just couldn't resist after seeing the lovely Samantha. Thanks for sharing that web page! :)

Your welcome but he have since learned some things about that particular breeder not being very good, not seeming to care for her dogs first. (Read wolfsoul's post)

I thought the same of her, too!! Much like my obsession (hehe) with Aussies for their uniqueness, I love Catahoulas for much the same reason! No two ever look identical!! :)

And welcome to the forums!! :)

Suki and wolfsoul, thanks for the heads-up about the breeder.

Every breed seems to have its share of them. :(

I'm still trying to figure out this BB code stuff, so I am having fun with that too. Ha! :p

I agree with you about the love for distinctly marked dogs! But (heh) my dogs are all *fawn* Anatolians now. lol :D


And welcome to the forums!! :)
Thanks Jessika!

You have pretty much described my Catahoula perfectly.
