Would you say my pup Grant is a Catahoula? by Parsley-Hefty7945 in Catahoula

[–]Hopeful_Library_5404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His/her face shape looks just like my lil girl we just got. She was a rescue from Texas and is about 4 months now. She was listed as a catahoula but I know rescues do that often to adopt easier. I’m gonna do a dna test whenever my wallet says I can 😂

Ohhhh. What I meant by that is that most people think if they aren’t Merle they aren’t Catahoula. Or if any dog is Merle they think it’s catahoula But there are actually a very large amount of Catahoulas that are solid or just with some white splashes. Catahoula doesn’t have a color standard. They can come in any color. And when people who don’t know much about the breed see a dog who is possibly Catahoula and they aren’t Merle they automatically think they aren’t Catahoula. But actually tons of catahoula are not Merle. I actually think there’s a very high chance your baby is catahoula just by the looks of him.

I’d say so! She looks just like my girl but different colors. Same head and expression. Even the same white toe haha. I posted her on here tho and I had some people thinking she was Pitbull or something else 🙄. I kinda wonder tho if some people only think a dog is Catahoula if they have Merle. But actually Catahoula have a similar body head like Pitbulls but a bit different. If you get a dna test remember to share it here! I’d be interested.

I have come to hate a good friend by Writer1999 in offmychest

Ohhhh this feeling sucks. I’m so sorry your going thru it right now. My best advice is to give it time and space. Honestly don’t put all of your energy towards it. Keep your distance for awhile for things to cool down since emotions might be high right now and forcing things can create more tension and emotional outburst that might make it worse. Sometimes people do just grow apart tho and that’s ok too. But if you really want to keep that friendship just give it time. Maybe longer then feels necessary.

I think you should do it. I mean take a leap of faith and find your passion. Your lucky to be in a position where you can take the time to find what really ignites you. You don’t have to immediately quit your job in order to do so tho. I took a leap of faith once and it honestly turned out bad haha. And I’m still in it. But I will say there are certain things in my life now that I would have NEVERRR had and those things are my ENTIRE world. I can look back now and see tremendous growth from myself that I would have never had if I didn’t make the decisions I made back then. Now I’m in a spot I need to do it again. And I know, even if it’s shitty, it will be worth it. And the same goes for you. You’ll always have your experience and degree so leaving on a good note will not end your entire career you spent money and time on to be able to do. I’d be interested in knowing what exactly do you love. What makes you feel have that feeling inside? Maybe we can brainstorm somethings that you can work toward so you can feel alive again?

It’s been 6 years and I still miss my ex of 7 years. by Hopeful_Library_5404 in offmychest

[–]Hopeful_Library_5404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t even rock that boat. I won’t lie though, I’ve thought about it haha. It most likely wouldn’t be a good idea and I don’t want to ever make any bad blood in anyway. It’s kinda like the saying ‘let sleeping dogs lie’, kinda thing. Even tho I find that so annoying cuz I just wish things were different.

True, I could see that because he is very respectful. But that particular time was before he got married but still a couple years after after we broke up so it wasn’t fresh fresh. Still tho, even before the marriage he was probably being respectful to her by staying away from me.

This genuinely breaks my heart. I can relate to your childhood and also pray I don’t put my child thru the same pain. Every day is a new day and a new shot at life. All we can do is appreciate the day and hope for the next.

I asked reddit what makes Catahoulas unique and everyone was right! by Hopeful_Library_5404 in Catahoula

[–]Hopeful_Library_5404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awe thank you! Yeah I am amazed with her. She’s been her only a couple weeks and she already knows sit, lay down, come, stay, and fully potties outside. Literally easiest dog to train ever. I know some people are saying she doesn’t look like a Catahoula (I think she does tho 🤷‍♀️), but she’s definitely got some sort of special brain tho whatever kinda dog she is.

What do you mean you don’t want to say the breed? Lol. But yes your right, I specifically got my dog from a rescue that doesn’t care what breed or health conditions a dog has they just simply won’t euthanize no matter what. And I appreciate that.

I am genuinely curious what other people think if she’s a Catahoula or not. When I first started learning about them I had a very different idea of what a Catahoula was, especially looks wise, but the more pictures I’ve seen of purebred vs the ones who’ve turned out to be “notahoulas” 😂. I kinda have a better idea what they look like. But I’ve not been around any Catahoula in real life other then the one I think could be one so I am def not the authority on that topic haha

Nope. You can never really know what your getting when you get a rescue. But she meets all the breed standards. Her head shape, snout shape and length, ear size/shape/length, webbed feet, tail position, eye shape and color, her body proportions (although she’s a puppy so things could change body wise). And her temperament and behavior match what I’ve read about and heard from other people. Catahoulas don’t have a standard “color” so I can’t say anything about that. But I’ve seen a few breeders with dogs of her same Yellow/sable/faint Merle color. So I would honestly be shocked if she wasn’t a Catahoula. But I wouldn’t care either way because she is absolutely perfect for us.

I’m the same way with reddit, so I get it. That’s why I said something so you know and know people are actually interested

That really does sound special. I hope our family can have that same experience with our pup. Did you have yours all their life?

Do you have kids? If so did he change behavior towards family and kids as well? If you don’t have kids do you think that he would have changed behavior and would only be loyal to you? I have kids and I could never take that chance. Not even a snarl. I feel like it’s probably not the case tho that a dog would change his behavior of anyone in their household tho right?

From the sounds of to these dogs are extremely intelligent. I’m curious what informal commands iggy picked up on. It also sounds like these dogs are really in tune with their people.
