I agree Pam..I didn't want to say anything, but I would much rather have a pet from a breeder. When I'm older, I'm going to get my shepherd from a breeder (they have so many health problems anyway, better safe than sorry), and I will get my catahoula from pretty much wherever since they aren't that common here. I've heard of one litter of catahoula pups in my city, but that's it..
