    I don't see any husky in him.

    I agree with the others who see Catahoula.

    And while they are indeed more common in the south, you never know where a "pocket" of a certain breed will show up. I used to work at a very small shelter in a small city in Wyoming ... literally the middle of nowhere. And for some reason, we had three purebred Catahoulas show up in one year, from different owners and situations. It was very strange.

    And when I worked a a shelter in Colorado we got a LOT of Jindos in during one year. In fact, I adopted one and still have him. Jindos are a relatively rare breed, originating on Jindo island in Korea. The only place they are present in any number in the US in in Los Angeles, where there a large Korean population settled. We couldn't figure it out at first, until someone made the connection that a group of Korean people had moved to our small town in Colorado to work temporarily in a meat packing plant, bringing their Jindos with them.

    Catahoulas are AWESOME dogs! I adore them and hope to have one someday. I think they are the most stunning of all the herding breeds here's more about them.

    this is the catahoula cur but I think it's pretty much the same breed although the catahoula curs are more stocky like a great dane - catahoulas are usually the size of an aussie or a border collie

    Thank you! Has anyone out there ever tried using one of those at home DNA tests to determine their mixed breeds' mix?... just wondering...

    Are there any pet talkers who own or know a catahoula leopard dog??? I'd love to hear about how they act and maybe see some pictures!

    They are awesome and such joys to be around. we had 2 sister catahoulas at the shelter, Chloe & Acorn. Here are their pics in this thread. We have had so many catahoulas where I work, I will have to find more pics.. I adore the breed and hope to have one someday. All they want to do is please you.

    My ex's uncle use to breed/show Catahoulas. They are really pretty dogs. The shows were awesome, not only was it show ring, but competitions for them herding bulls and pigs. It was really different. But sorry dont know too much about them.
    As far as DNA testing, I got my dog DNA tested, I should get the results next week. It wasn't nearly as expensive as I thought it would be $60.00 but I've been having a huge string of bad luck with the post office getting the test from and to the lab. I'm a very curious person, it would bother me forever if I didn't know what he was made of.

    edit: He does look more Catahoula than husky to me.
