 | Obediah, the "Catawhata?"
They call me Obediah, and I'm about six months old, and a (probably) Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, although the nice but clueless shelter staff had me listed as a Great Dane/Dalmation cross.
Fair warning, all the pictures of me will make you want to adjust your TV set--the human has a crummy camera and no photog skilz. 
This is me, playing camo-dog, blending into the fall leaves. (Look closely and you will see my ninja-sister Whisper hiding in the blurry background, too.) 
NEVER let this human take conformation pics of me, please. I look like a midget with pretzel legs here. 
Huh? Whadat sound? 
Sister, you look out for the right side boogeyman, I will guard the left. 
With Whip, on an old outdoor theatre stage--they both jumped right up like it was an agility obstacle. 
Saw Whisper do this, so thought I'd give it a try--hey, this is kinda fun, being tall. 
Do you all see way too many spots before your eyes?

| Serafina, Sydney is cute! She has a lot longer coat, and different type, than Obediah.
Obediah has one eye that is half-blue, but I couldn't get his energizer bunny azz to hold still for a shot of that.
Is Sydney very high energy?
I've fostered a couple Catahoulas over the years, one I liked, the other...not so much. He was just kind of a weird dog although he got a great adopter and they adore him, just not my cup of tea.
Rotten--ya had to ask, huh? He's had a rough time, last foster home (who will never be allowed to foster for that shelter again) really did a number on him. Still working on some of the issues.
My track record for foster failures over the past few years is abysmal, I'll admit. I used to be able to do this, I swear.

His adorableness is the only reason he survived Hurricane Sandy.
Because I was seriously contemplating killing him.

Yes Sidneys energy is up there but its not to bad. His sister takes her on daily runs, camping and backpacking. She is a great dog, good on leash, adores every human she meets and even gets along with the family's pet goose. (yes... a goose) Only problem we have come across with her is she will bolt when she gets the urge. Which is not good but she always escapes to the creek in the back yard and returns shortly later covered in mud. | |

We just had a Catahoula Leopard Dog pup in my last puppy class. Her name was Tilly and she was a happy girl who never stopped moving. LOL But she was very sweet and smart.
I agree that you must keep him. He does match and it looks like all the 4-legged family members have already taken him in as their own.

If he's getting in trouble, and you point this out to him, he sits down and does that sideways head turn thing, and sort of ooh-woohs at you, with a sass talk attitude and a Cajun accent sort of baying sound.
In other news, Hurricane watch and creek watch have apparently made Obediah mix up his days and his nights.
And of the other dogs, who is the one joining in his 4:30 AM mayhem?
MINA. My perfect little Mina. She's been corrupted. I think he's teaching her patois.

Trot. 
Trot. 
Zoooooooom! 
Follow the leader, wheeeeeeeeeeee! 
Mid-zoomie sudden halt, for sniffs. I love how you can see both his red merle and his blue merle, in this one. 
Director, I am ready for my close ups, thank you.   
Lastly, ahem. Um. Yeah, no matter what rumors you may hear about today at the ballpark, that 16 pound terrier girl did not, I say did NOT, beat up my 61 pound puppy self. Nope. Never happened. And she also did not put me down on the ground and make me say, "All my liver brownies are belong to you, Ma'am."

| You sure there isnt a little dane in there?
Either way he is absolutely adorable! The first time I had ever heard of a catahoula was at the rodeo. One of the people had a catahoula mix and i never forgot the name because it was so odd. This was before internet so looking things up wasnt an option.
There is a very active catahoula rescue in Ontario, pretty much, they get contacted about anything that is merled(is that a term?) I wouldn't call them common up here, but i know they get a lot from US shelters.
