This weekend I got a special treat and was able to spend time with one of the magnificent examples that comes out of my breeding program. But before we get to that, this is Austin, a blue leopard male with tan trim and brown eyes.
This little girl below is the blue leopard runt and an excellent example of the deep chest, wide body and wide head so many people seem to be looking for.
In spite of being the runt, and undersized by comparison, she can hold her own and can't you see it in her eyes?
Now before I show you some more of the pups, here is Chaffy, a son of Coco and Cutty Dark below, who is 2 1/2 years old and just came back from Colorado to visit this past weekend.
And I will now let the cat out of the bag: below is my pick of the littler.
I know y'all are all jonsing for them red and blue, and GREY leopards, with blue eyes, but go ahead...
I like the looks of this and he always got his nose on da ground!
Y'all can have dem spots, I got me a hunter right here...
I know the picture above looks like a sleepy head,
but if you will look below his jaw, on da throat below, and you can see he is in recovery from a bite of a poisonous cotton mouth water moccasin.
OK, is it the snake bite that ultimately makes 'em a better dog, or was it ALREADY a better dog in da first place that had his nose down on da ground and was getting out and hunting WHEN he was 6 wks. old AND THEN he got bit? Just think about...
At any rate if you want to call me and we talk about Catahoulas and why snake bit dogs are so good, I can be reached by cell phone @ 337 298 2630, and I am in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Bear in mind, that I have 2 males out of Chocolate, a daughter of Coco and Cutty Dark, that are now about 3 months old, and are already hitting the blood trails and finding blood soaked deer. But mostly they are rough and tumble puppies all day long....
Below you can see one of the reasons that my dogs are so gifted as blood tracking dogs, is because they eat raw venison on a regular basis, and they hunt as a pack, meaning they are motivated by sibling rivalry, as in who gets to the deer first eats most...
As you can see Brown and Tan ain't too happy about Blackie showing up late and trying to cut in on his find!
