5/6/26 UPDATED INFO:: Updated every day or two, since initial posting, as we learn more about his s set and temperament.

ATTRIBUTES: Personality and Physical THIS dark leopard CATAHOULA is a remarkable dog. He clearly has been well loved and TRAINED by caring family/individual. Wants to please. HIGHLY INTELLIGENT. Very playful, without being overly active or assertive. He is young, an adolescent - approximately age 2 to 3; 26 inches tall, 34 inches long. He has a calm, solid temperament: He is curious and cautious, but/and open and willing to meet new people, non-aggressively, when given the opportunity to do so respectfully. He shows some alerting or guarding behavior, but will settle when given the command to do so. Shows appropriate alerting behavior. Alerts around men, when walking on leash (may bark, does not charge); accepted male "stranger" without trouble when told to "visit". When given a moment to access the stranger's energy, he becomes.comfortable. He has not yet been tested for calmness around children. He Is comfortable around other dogs, after appropriate introduction and dog-style meet and greet. He will calmly walk on leash with other dog(s), and can be in the same room as another dog without upset. Is curious about cats, has shown ease around them, doesn't have a demonstrated prey drive.

He will "sit, stay" or "lie down, stay" at length of 30ft. He has demonstrated that he knows to sit stay when unleashed outside a gate in a unfenced yard. Full, reliable, compliance is untested. He is working on complying with "COME". His adolescent mind is clearly testing the limits of this command, in playful way of person giving this command. He IS in training to achieve full reliable compliance with the "COME" command. Knows how to heel and walk nicely on a leash, still has occasional pulling. Does a hand-off of leash to another person comfortably. Takes treats VERY gently from the hand. Complies with command, "LEAVE IT", when a treat is on the ground that he has dropped in front of him, and he is asked to move on. NO demonstrated discomfort with being petted around his head when he has rawhide in his mouth. [Taking treat from him or asking him to drop it has not yet been tested.] Johnny has NOT exhibited destructive behavior of furniture, shoes, etc. etc., despite all the stress.
