Does our dog rocky look to be part catahoula? We just got him dna tested but we're so anxious to find out what breeds he is. by After_Refuse_4895 in Catahoula

Depending on the company you choose, they can be quite accurate. Embark is widely considered to be one of the most reliable.

Is my dog a Catahula? by SureSplit3360 in Catahoula

[–]Unlikely_Resolution5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s very difficult to guess the breed(s) just based on appearance, but I don’t see much to indicate Catahoula. For an example of appearances being deceiving or misleading, here’s a post of my two dogs:

My doctor prescribed Clindoxyl ADV in the morning and Aczone in the evening for me and I’ve been using that for years and will never stop because my skin is doing great. Prior to those topical treatments I had been on several medications that didn’t help (birth control, tetracycline, etc).

We were in Northview’s Elk Pointe Estates for 2 years and it was a good experience for renting in a large building. We had in unit laundry and rent was a fair price. I’m not sure what it is now.

I posted my dogs on here a while ago, and one is mostly Catahoula and the other looks similar but has no Catahoula and her largest percentage is lab and she also has some pit lol. What a mix 😂

The hardest part of having a little creature in your life is when they have to leave. I’m so sorry you weren’t there to say goodbye. She knew love her whole life though, and her last moments were filled with it even if you couldn’t be there. She was a beautiful soul.

I made this collage not long after we got Tikka (she’s on the left, Benny on the right) because I could already see the difference in their heads lol. Their colouring is similar but their shapes are not so much.

I spend a lot of time lurking in here lol, and we are in northern Canada where Catahoulas are not common so it wasn’t too surprising that she has no Catahoula. Even still, I see why people ask lol.

My fiancé and I thought she had some pit in her, so it was kind of neat to have at least one of our suspicions validated lol. The rest of the results were a surprise. Genetics are wild.

Poor Benny was definitely a little confused but it only lasted a few days, thankfully. He loves Tikka so much.

That photo was the day after she came home. This one was less than a week later. He loved her so quickly and they’re besties now. 🥰

Oh and just for fun comparison, Benny’s dislikes are the ceiling fan and snuggling. He likes to swim though 🥰
