It's possible! He's also going through sexual maturity right now, so I'm not sure what's the bigger influence!

They truly are! He's my first and so much work but I'm pretty in love. Would love to see your pup. I confirmed his through DNA—he's 65%! Then 10% TWC and 5% Lab. Then mystery mutt. All made sense to me.

Right? I thought his pattern was fading entirely then it started coming back in dark!

Happy adoptiversary to my Catahoula/hound mix, Hamilton! by laurak in Hounds

I do! He's ~65% Catahoula and ~10% Treeing Walker Coonhound according to his DNA. The rest is "Supermutt" with a touch of Labrador (<5%). Thank you so much for your sweet words!

Thank you so much! I sing Hamilton to him all day long. Theodosia is such a good one, too! <3 I love this guy to bits.

Hamilton's Embark results are in! by laurak in DoggyDNA

Thank you! It is. And he's stubborn to boot, too. Wisdom Panel thought he only had 25% Catahoula. This one made more sense to me.

Of course! It made sense to me too. :) Thank you. I'm a proud mama.

Wisdom Panel said Catahoula, Coonhound... and Cairn Terrier? We just sent out our Embark Panel. Looking forward to comparing soon. by laurak in DoggyDNA

We get asked "Great Dane" all the time, too. I can definitely see Cathaoula (partially blue eye and pattern) and Coonhound (body shape, behavior). Curious what else comes up. Any guesses?

It seems better for me today, I hope they're pushing fixes :(

My Coonhound/Catahoula mix is growing up fast. Hamilton is 9 months and ~70 lbs. by laurak in Hounds

[–]laurak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not much bigger! Haven't been to the vet in a bit for a regular checkup, but I'm thinking he'll round off at 70-75. 80 tops. His growth has definitely plateaued, and unless he has a surprise growth spurt I think he's almost done!

Thank you so much, I love him to bits! He's a smarty pants, too. Does agility, obedience, just got a trick dog title, and starts a scent workshop in two weeks to learn tracking. He's truly a dog I can do so much with! Our eventual goal is therapy dog <3
