Shiloh turns out to be a Catahoula leopard dog, named from Catahoula Parish in Louisiana. (Unlike the other 49 states, Louisiana is divided into "parishes" rather than "counties.") We adopted her about 6 months ago after losing Jill. She has a much sweeter disposition than most Catahoulas, according to the breed description! These dogs were actually bred to hunt down feral swine(!) in the southeastern US. She's friendly to people and gets along fine with the other dogs. She's also fond of water, about like a Labrador. Here she is playing in Washoe Lake. The insets show some other pictures, including those blue, blue eyes!
