The Catahoula bulldog is a crossbred (not a purebred dog); it is a cross between the Catahoula Cur and the American Bulldog for a specific purpose.〔 Al Walker of Animal Research Foundation has stated that the Catahoula Bulldog is recognized as 50% Catahoula Leopard and 50% American Bulldog in the first generation cross. In succeeding generations, it may be 75%-25% mix in either direction. The 75%-25% cross should not be exceeded to maintain the desirable characteristics of each breed. ==Appearance== The Catahoula bulldog is a medium to large size dog weighing in at 34-45.3 kg (60-100 lb). The height is 55–66 cm (20-26 inches) at the shoulders. The dog has the American Bulldog's muscular build with tight skin and a very short, smooth coat. Normally it does not have an undercoat but usually develops one when living in seasonal or colder climates. Catahoula Bulldogs come in a wide variety of colors. They can be white, black and white, black, brown, brown and white and sometimes even black and brown and due to the Catahoula Leopard genes. Both pure white and merled coats white with grey, black and tan patches and blotches; some have very large areas of color and smaller patches and tips or spots are common. The eyes can be a soft to dark brown, amber, ice blue, emerald green, gold or any combination of all of these including heterochromia. Ears can be a rose type to button over and are sometimes cropped. The Catahoula bulldog tends to use the ears in a very expressive manner. The tail can be long or a natural bobtail. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catahoula Bulldog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
