Leopard dog... or "I have a leopard" is how I heard it as a youngster and these dogs were colored blue merle. Most of these dogs were catahoula curs.

We always call the good ones Leopard curs and the culls Catahoulas! lol  Grin

Seriously, If they ever were two different types of dogs, they are now.

I dont know of any lines of the leopard hound variety that are "getting it done" on hogs now a days but someone somewhere has got to be using them I would think.

Outlaw,

Used to be someone in the full cry magazine who bred a line of leopard curs that were used for bear and hog. If I find out who I will post up. Might have to go back some in my old full cries.

If it is a leopard colored cur dog then i've just always heard people call them a leopard dog, and everything else is a cur dog!

A Catahoula will find and bunch cattle use there on working instinct.  A Lepared Hound does not have the same working instincts as the Catahoula they will bay cattle but  do not work the same as the Catahoula. some catahoulas have a good nose and can run a track good. but a lepard hound can run a cold track and drive it hard . I don't  think you will find many catahoulas that could run a track like that. most lepard hounds run with a full mouth. I do not see these dogs as being the same dog.

A Catahoula lepard is a Catahoula with mearl spotting that's what lepard means.  we just called the solid colors catahoulas.

The difference between the leopard cur/hound and a catahoula cur is like the night and day....the leopard cur was bred for hunting...

yep anytime you want to see the difference I have both  . the leopard hound is actually not a hound at all but a cur dog . the older bloodlines by appearance are exactly the same . but as with the plot cur they have started breeding for the more houndy look . in the beginning I am sure the two were cross bred without people really knowing it . and the popularity of the breed now has gotten some folks to selling catahoulas as leopard curs . the Catahoula first hit the registry's as the Catahoula cow dog back in the 50's . and just until recent the leopard hound was just an association dog that was brought into the ukc into the hound group , but you had to use your leopard CUR assc. papers to register them with ukc as hounds . they all come with the merle gene but in genetic disposition they are different as night and day  . TREE DOGS VS. STOCK DOGS  that is all lol  who dug up this old post  ?  and if your looking for some good ones MIKE RODGERS has the best in texas  .

Ive owned both also and i honestly thought the leopard hound i had was a cross between a catahoula and a hound. She acted just like a hound tho barked on track and had endless bottom and very very trashy/gamey whatever u wanna call it. But yeh they are two very different type of dogs. Just what i have seen  Huh?

here are a couple pics of my American Leopard Cur/hound. Mr. Whitten is right.  I think of it like this.  Cats are more stock, sight , bay/catch dogs while the  leps are track,trail and tree type dogs. There is some neat history on both breeds. Some old time cats would tree. Not sure if the will anymore.  To me cats have always been built heavier with a larger blockier head with half cocked ears. While the leps are double coated, drop eared, and not as heavy built.  They share the same colors  and characteristics.  They can have the same defects when crossing merles on merles. Some cold nose, some hot some med.  Most chop, but more bawl mouths now a days. I like the bawl mouths. Smiley 

Thanks Mr Whitten for the compliment.  I'm try'n to keep them old school leopards.
