We have been thinking about getting a dog for some time now, this week we did it.
Our new baby is a two and a half year old Catahoula Leopard x named Ash, she came to us from the SPCA.
We know very little about her background, but she is very well behaved, obeys instructions and doesn't bark. She responds very well to June and our grandson Jordan but is quite timid with me suggesting she may have had some bad experiences at the hands of males in the past. After just two days she is beginning to warm to me.
We had never heard of the Catahoula Leopard before; they are from the Catahoula Parish of Louisiana, and are dogs descended from Native American-created breeds. They are one of the longest surviving North American breeds.
We are very happy to give Ash a new home, after only 2 days she is very much at home with us.
