Deafness[edit] Deafness is one of the major genetic traits in Catahoulas and associated with individuals that are excessively white in color and deafness attributed to a lack of melanocytes.[17] A Catahoula that is predominantly white has an 80% chance of being bi-laterally deaf or uni-laterally hearing.[18] Hearing in one ear is referred to as "directional deafness". Breeders are often unwilling to allow deaf Catahoulas to leave their premises and will generally euthanize deaf pups. Puppies born from a litter where both parents have the "Merle" color pattern have a 25% chance of being born blind, deaf or blind and deaf. These puppies are often referred to as "Double Merles". A double merle can come from any breed, or breed mix. As long as both parents are merle, each puppy has a chance of being born with these traits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Catahoula_Leopard_dog Edited March 17, 2019 by sandymere 2 Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Shame about the Catahoula, their looks are gonna get them in a whole heap of shite with breed fanciers. Destined to become firstly a prized acquisition for stupid prices and then bred to be wonderful loving household pets... When i first seen propper American gamedogs i seen these stunning merle dogs and tried to find out all i could, with a view to lurcher production. Certain lines can have a decent drop of bull blood, black mouth curs and the Beauceron too. Some say greyhound, molosser and native indian dogs are all in the mix too... Sounds all very romantic... My own ivory towers all came tumbling down when i realised they are baying dogs and THAT would be the last thing i'd want in a lurcher! I also figured that they'd be no better than a well bred bull or wheaten cross and if i fancied sommat a bit less 'full on', well go down the collie/bull/grey mix or sommat like that. You could even get yourself a merle one of those if looks matter that much. My mate has one, smart thing and is what i recon a Cat cross would be like too! Nah, i'd rather let them poor Cat's go the way they are destined to go, for big money and no ability... I wouldn't pay the rates and have the headache of trying to pissball about getting one over here and over a greyhound. Especially when, with a bit of effort, you could create far better, with the breeds already available. Quote Link to post

I think you will just end up with a faster Catahoula instead of an improved runner,not like crossing with say a terrier or bull breed. 3 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 3,819 Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I've heard Catahoula's are in Am Bulldogs lines and the Red Wolf was used in the breeding of Catahoula's.I was told this by a Am Bulldog breeder here.Can anyone confirm this? 1 Quote Link to post
