Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Parish is a place in Louisiana that served as the inspiration of the dog breed called the Catahoula Leopard Dog. They can hunt small animals like squirrels and raccoons, but they also have the strength to go after bears, mountain lions, and deers.
They have a powerful sense of smell, so they can become search and rescue dogs. They are prone to genetic defects like deafness because of their melanocytes deficiency. The Catahoula Parishes with parents who are both colored merle has a 25% probability of becoming blind, dead, or both.
