Half Catahoula / Half Dachshund

Yeah, mine are white and they are beautiful, but they aren't very smart. That could in part be because I compare them to my boxer and the dachsund who are smart. They also don't see well when it's light out so that may make them appear more dumb then they actually are. But, they are very territorial. They grabbed the pants of an A/C repair man who was in the yard with me and would not let go and they scratched my nephew up and tried to pull him down to the ground because he was in the yard with my wife. I don't trust them around my daughter at all. It's like having two wild animals in my yard.

Your 2 Catahoulas may seem dumb b/c they have not been allowed to "work". This will happen to many of the working breeds. They need lots of space to run, and need stimulation mentally.

IMHO, a Catahoula mix would not be a good townhouse dog. Look at the small dog rescue groups. We adopted a Yorkie a few years ago, and he was a righteous little dude. Until the day the pitbull next door dug under the fence, grabbed Buddy, and killed him right in front of my wife.
