A Catahoula is a specific breed.
The origins of the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog are speculative. However, they are believed to be descended from crosses between Native American dogs, Red Wolves, and the dogs brought to the New World by Spanish conquistadors, probably mastiff-types and sighthounds. Some experts believe Beaucerons were added to the breed when French arrived to the new world. The settlers admired the native dogs, as they showed to be capable of scenting, tracking and treeing game as well as herding wild hogs and cattle. There are many stories regarding the origin of the breed's name: Catahoula. The most likely is that it is a misinterpretation of the Indian word that meant "Choctaw," the name of a local tribe. The word 'Catahoula' is actually a combination of two Choctaw words 'okhata', meaning lake, and 'hullo', meaning beloved, or a French transformation of the Choctaw Indian word for their own nation, 'Couthaougoula' pronounced 'Coot-ha-oo-goo-la'. The Catahoula is now said to be named after the parish of the same name in Louisiana, where it is the State Dog.
Catahoula National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1958.
