These fantastic, unique Catahoula Leopard Dog mix pups, born 7/10/2026, came to us as a Stop the Cycle litter (we spay mama at our expense when the pups are weaned, and return her to her family).

Mama Zena (last photo) definitely has a big dose of Catahoula with possibly some Australian Cattle Dog influence, and the suspected papa has some German Shorthaired Pointer in the mix... these pups are true LeMutte puppies, we would love to see a DNA profile from one (or more) of the adopters!

The litter includes (along with their weights as of 8/24):

CHOPPER: male, black & white 12.4# BIGGEST OVERALL

CHEER: female, brown & white (blue eyes) 9.6#

FAITH: female, grey & white (blue eyes) 7.7# SMALLEST OVERALL

CHARITY: female, black & white 10.9#

CANOODLE: male, grey/black/white, white blaze 10.9#

TENDERHEART: male, brown/grey/white, lots of white on chest, white blaze 11.9#

DULCET: female, grey/white with dark ears, wide blaze (blue eyes) 9.1#

GUARDIAN: male, grey/black/white, lots of black L front leg, black patch over L eye 11.7#

PATIENCE: female, brownish grey/black/white, black R front leg, thin white blaze (blue eyes) 9.7#

While it's impossible to perfectly predict adult weights on mixed breed pups, we can guesstimate that this bunch will end up between 60# - 90# so would be considered LARGE dogs, with most being in the 70-85# range

Although you will notice a few of them napping during their video shoot (no, we don't force them to wake up and perform on our schedule, lol), DO NOT BE FOOLED! These will be fun, active, high energy family dogs who will love being on the go with you.

They are young enough to adapt quickly to other pets already in the family, and are looking forward to learning everything you want to teach them. This crew will be ready to join their new families on 9/16/26 (or any day after that).

Puppies require a lot of human interaction, and all puppies will benefit from obedience training and full immersion in their human household. These pups' ideal homes will have someone who can exercise them with a couple of energetic walks each day, plus commitment to training them how to be the best dogs they can be. They hope to have very few hours per day when they will be without the companionship of a human or other pet, and will reward their forever people with boundless love and loyalty!

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Cheer is a suggested minimum of $185 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
