The Catahoula-Husky Dog breed is a canid native to the United States, but they have also been found in feral populations in other parts of the world. The Catahoula Husky is known for being a hardworking, energetic hunting dog that is extremely loyal and protective of its family. They were bred to hunt and are still bred for that purpose today. Many Catahoula Huskies are also excellent working dogs and make good hunting dogs as well.
They are small, agile and quick on the trail, with big, powerful jaws and sharp, curved teeth. These huskies have a long, lop-sided nose, and large, dark, almond-shaped eyes. They have a heavy tail and curved, pointed claws. The coat is dense, wooly, double-coated and very hard. The Catahoula Husky is a small breed, with males reaching only 20 to 24 inches in height and females about 18 to 20 inches tall at the withers.
They weigh between 35 and 65 pounds. The Catahoula Husky is a native American dog. They are now found in feral and chicken-strapped populations throughout the United States and Canada. There are many varieties of Catahoula Husky, but the two most common are the red or American variety and the black or British variety. The differences between the two are subtle, but important.
History of the Catahoula-Husky
The history of the Catahoula-Husky, like that of many other canids, is a complex web of geographic expansion, domestication, hybridization, and natural selection. At the end of the last Ice Age, Native Americans, including the Catahoula people, migrated from Central America across the Caribbean and down the Gulf of Mexico to the Louisiana Bayous to escape the encroaching glaciers. The Catahoula-Husky is one of several Native American dog breeds that descend from the Eurasian wolf and domestic dog. The Catahoula is the only Native American breed to be recognized by the American Canine Association as an official breed.
