Frequently Asked Questions

Do Catahoula Leopard Dogs get along with other pets?

Are Catahoula Leopard Dogs prone to separation anxiety?

Catahoula Leopard Dogs form strong bonds with their owners and may experience separation anxiety if left alone for long periods. To prevent this, it's important to gradually acclimate them to being alone, provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation, and consider options like doggy daycare or a pet sitter when necessary.

Are Catahoula Leopard Dogs prone to wandering or escaping?
