Mascot: Catahoula

[roarman]

I was not. However I was clear that I do not care for the white gator.

Are they born deaf? I did not know that was a thing. What percentage are deaf?

Catahoula hounds, especially certain colored ones, are deaf. Some also have very poor eyesight. I have been around many of them over the years. To be honest, I would never own one. I have seen too many that have a bad temperament, are hard to train and end up with major health issues. I think it all has to do with the way they were originally bred.

Leave it to our state to make that the state dog. Well its par for the course, the dog that ranks last in every category, is the perfect dog for Louisiana.

Must be an inbreeding issue...

Kind of like two of the most popular dogs now, the labradoodle or goldendoodle. So much inbreeding, the person who invented the dog in the 1980s, now calls it the Frankenstein of all dogs. He said in an article, he has not been around one in the last 10 years that doesn't have either a physical problem or a mental issue. Go to a local dog park with a few dogs grouped together and the one going crazy is always either the labradoodle or the goldendoodle.

Like European Royalty in the 1600's....

The same ones who kicked the Cajuns out of Nova Scotia in 1755.

My first grand puppy is a Golden Doodle and other than being a spazoid is a great dog.

I am all in on the Catahoula.

Likewise.

The housing, care and feeding of any live animal makes the Catahoula a non-starter. Do any of you really think that Authement lite would spring for such a thing??

I am not a huge dog guy. My neighbor is gone for 2 weeks and we are responding for feeding the dog. Man I hope that dang dog don’t die on our watch. Any tech alum out there want to offer advice?

Stooldog contacted me on a Ouija Board, said, no, don't use any four legged creature.

Pretty sure that’s the only way he’s communicating these days. Have to give him his due, he was 100% behind his university and teams. Every single G5 university needs to have those type of fans.
