1 year old, Australian Cattle Dog Mix
SHADOW
Latte is the epitome of a cattle dog. Energetic, vocal, strong, busy and very forthcoming with his affection towards people. He will even sit in chairs with you and get as close as possible in bed. If you're playing tug of war, he will always be the champ! Fetch is his all-time favorite, and he will go get the ball and bring it back for hours if you wanted. He loves kids; we recommend children on the older side due to his rough play and that he is the only dog or with another of the same nature. No cats or small animals. If you enjoy doing dog sports, this would be your boy! FMI Email: sln2310@yahoo.com
4 years old, Catahoula Leopard Hound
Shadow is everything that you read about Catahoula Leopard dogs. He loves his family but has energy that is endless! He loves to play, but he would be just fine being the only dog in the home, if you gave him a job! He is also the true essence of his name; he loves to be your Shadow! Shadow has lived his whole life with this one family and unfortunately, due to life events that have nothing to do with him, he needs to be rehomed. This will be tough for him, so he will need a new family that understands the breed and knows this is not a ready-made dog . We do require you have Catahoula knowledge for this sweet boy.
