Please contact us for information on available puppies.
Please contact us for information on available puppies.
When considering a Catahoula, keep in mind they are a high energy, protective, territorial, intelligent, working bred dog with strong working drives. Our puppies are bred for and exhibit those characteristics and qualities.
Puppies are best suited for homes with a job or daily strenuous activity and room for the dog to run. They will require discipline, training and an alpha owner that can teach and reinforce pack order at an early age. They are not suited for apartment homes or subdivision homes with limited personal space. They are not suited for dog parks and will be territorial, intolerant of strange dogs and possibly same gender dogs and standoffish to strangers.
Please research the breed completely and thoroughly before deciding on a Catahoula and be sure you are willing to invest the time and effort into training the puppy. They are not suited to all homes or all types of people.
NOTE: Due to the many variations in the Catahoula breed, we cannot predict coat or eye color results from any breeding and you may have to wait for other litters to get the desired puppy.
** We reserve the right to first choice of all litters and the right to remove any puppy from availability at any time for any reason.

Please be sure you are willing to wait for that special puppy before placing a deposit.

PUPPY SELECTION:
**For the health and safety of our puppies and dogs, our selection process is by PHOTOS ONLY. **
We try to maintain a disease-free environment for our dogs and will not risk a disease being accidentally introduced into their environment by visitors; therefore, we are a closed kennel.
Gestation period is usually between 60 - 63 days and puppies will be available for pick up at 6-7weeks of age. Depositors will be notified that a litter has been born and we will begin our puppy selection approximately 4-5 weeks after birth. Group puppy pictures may be posted on our website or facebook page as time allows and after we are beyond the nesting stage which is approximately 2-3 weeks after birth. We understand that everyone is anxiously waiting to choose a puppy, but please be patient and we will provide pictures at the appropriate time.
When the puppies are approximately five (5) weeks of age, we will begin puppy selection for depositors. At that time, individual pictures will be provided to each depositors in chronological order. In order to keep the selection process moving smoothly, each depositor has 36 hours to select a puppy. Please keep in mind other depositors are waiting to select a puppy as well.
** If a depositor does not respond within the 36 hour period and has not made a selection, we will continue the selection process with the next depositor. **
The selection process must be completed by 6 weeks of age so delivery by ground can begin at 6 weeks old and arrangements can be made for ground transport at 8 weeks old.
Puppy selection is a prolonged process and we will not hold puppies until weaning age to start the process.
All puppy deposits are non-refundable; therefore, if you choose to pass on a litter or cannot get the puppy you want, your deposit will be rolled to the next litter. In the event of the following: puppies are lost at nesting, a small litter is born, a breeding doesn't "take", or any other unforeseen events occur, your deposit will be rolled over to the next litter. With the exception of the above, each depositor will have the opportunity to choose a puppy within a 12 to 18 month period of time. However, when a depositor has had ample opportunity to choose a puppy from at least two available litters or within 12-18 months and refuses to make a selection your deposit will be forfeited. This will be handled on an individual basis.
Any puppies that remain after waiting lists clients have chosen will be offered to the public.

PUPPY PICK UP:
Puppies are available for pick up in Groveton, Texas at 6-7 weeks of age. Please plan in advance to be available to pick up your puppy between 6 and 8 weeks of age. If you request or require your puppy to be held beyond 8 weeks of age, the puppy balance must be paid in full prior to pick up and there will be a care charge of $50.00 per week due at pick up. We are available to meet in Groveton any day except Sundays.
If you are unable to meet to pick up your puppy, we can arrange ground transport through a reputable transporter at the buyer's expense depending on the buyers location.
Your puppy will have received three to four de-wormings and at least one five-way vaccination booster at the time of pick up. Keep in mind, it is the buyers responsibility to administer or have your personal veterinarian administer the remaining vaccines in the series to your puppy and maintain the proper deworming schedule for your area.
We have a 7 day guarantee for infectious/contagious disease or death from the day you pick up your puppy which is the standard practice. Once a puppy leaves, we no longer have control on what a puppy is exposed to, how it is cared for, whether it is vaccinated in a timely manner, dewormed, etc. It is important to be very careful where you and your puppy go and have your puppy seen by your veterinarian to ensure the proper vaccination and deworming schedule is followed. After the 7th day, beginning with the date of delivery or shipping date, we are no longer responsible for any contagious/infectious disease. It is rare we have an issue once a pup leaves, but it is a puppy and unforeseen situations can occur. These issues will be handled on an individual basis. We are very easy and reasonable to work with. If you have a concern contact us immediately.
