Since I lost my pup last December, I've taken in two Catahoula Leopard dogs. Neither one made the cut and both were returned to the breeder.
I have since contracted with Double Ott Catahoula's in LA and, yesterday, stopped in on my way from TX to visit the pup. It was a short visit. At 6 weeks, he demonstrates all the qualities I'm looking for in a tracker: inquisitive, "nosey", alert and feisty. Gonna be a handful but, if I do my job, it'll be well worth it.
You know you're keeping a pup when you decide he has to have a name. This one needs a name. The current front runner came to me while listening to the Ipod on the way home: Gringo
Yep, "Gringo" as in Double Ott's Gringo Pistolero.
But I'm open to suggestions. A free one year subscription to SWAT for the man or woman who knocks the name Gringo Pistolero out of the box.
Thanks much-
Rich
