Adopt Pete. Sandy Geddry
Pete is a four year old, Catahoula Leopard breed dog. He is very stunning with his merle colored coat. He also has two different color eyes.
The Catahoula Leopard breed requires firm guidance and early socialization, as they can be independent, territorial, and protective. For the same reasons, they do not allow mistreatment and will assert themselves in self-defense. Once they know their place in the family unit, they are affectionate, loyal, and gentle.
This athletic, rugged dog requires at least an hour of running exercise each day. Without sufficient outlets for his high energy, he will become rambunctious and destructive. Most Catahoula Leopard dogs are reserved with strangers and naturally protective.
The right person for Pete is someone that is knowledgeable about the breed and is willing to put the time into his training
