COCOs Favorite Perch

Don't know if she's part cat, but this instead of my lap is where she winds up.

lol I'm not sure you qualify as a Pirate as Coco isn't a parrot but she is adorable.

That's a puppy who knows a friend when she meets one. Of course she looks a lot more relaxed than when she first arrived home.

 

[voorhees]

That is awesome. So glad she has taken to you so fast.

Is that a Blue Tick?

 

[tbradsim1]

Al she's a registered Catahoula. Her Breeder is the Premier Catahoula Breeder Don Abney. He has a long line of Champions.I always choose a big male dog. This time it was a Female runt of the litter. Time will tell how she does.

She looks right at home

 

[fnord]

Okay. Well, yeah, of course.
She's got the big man's number.
But please take me to school. What did you mean yesterday when you wrote " she is ... with 2 glass eyes?"
Glass eyes? I don't know that expression.

The breed may have "cracked glass" or "marbled glass" eyes (heterochromia) and occurs when both colored and glass portions are present in the same eye. Cracked or marbled eyes are blue or blue-white in color. Catahoulas with two cracked or marble glass eyes are often referred to as having double glass eyes. In some cases a glass eye will have darker colored sections in it and vice versa. Cracked eyes may be half of one color and half of another. They may just have a streak or spot of another color. Gray eyes are usually cracked eyes, made of blue and green, giving them their greyish appearance. The eyes may be of the same color or each of a different color. Eye color can also be ice blue, brown, green, gray, or amber. No particular eye color is typical of Catahoulas. This was the explanation I picked up Jim.

My prediction is that she will be socially adept, helped in that by being a female, and often smarter than even you suspect, as our pets often are. Maybe being a runt helps that, as a forced compensation. Are Catahoulas distinct to Louisiana? Mostly hunting dogs or ratters? She looks terrier; was that the original line? Intriguing about the eye color.

I didn't know anything about this breed, very interesting and apparently the official dog of Louisiana! A jambalaya dog seems right!

Louisiana's "hog dog" is a jambalaya of native American dogs, Spanish Mastiffs, and Greyhounds. Catahoulas were created to track and drive feral hogs and cattle when it was time to butcher them, and not surprisingly they are aggressively resolute in their work.
