  1. Wow, what a joy it was to find your blog. I was looking for a photo of a Catahoula and found an older post you made. I am a dog trainer/performer in the Dallas, Tx area hoping to fulfill my dream of moving to Colorado some day. Have to find a job there first. LOL
    I am also into Genealogy, photography, etc. It's great to come across a kindred spirit.
    My blog is very new and not at all ready for prime time as I only have a few posts. http://petsdontshed.blogspot.com/
    I am working full time in outside employment so I haven't had much time to work on it. :/
    I look forward to reading more of your posts.
