Staffies

Welcome to our new website! WCA,UKC and NALC Registered Louisiana Catahoulas, AKC and USBA Registered South African Boerboels, AKC Registered Staffordshire Bull Terriers Thank you for visiting River Bottom Kennels. We raise Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dogs, American Pit Bull Terriers and South African Boerboels for cattle work on the ranch and hunt... ing hogs when needed. Although we've raised cowdog curs since I was a kid, we've had papered stock since 2004 and Boerboels since 2009. Staffies are new to the line-up as of 2015 Our breeding program focuses on producing dogs with a strong cow herding instinct that will also hunt hogs and be a multi-purpose dog for your home, family and ranch/farm. Our stud dogs and females "dual purpose". They are out of stock that is strong on both cows and hogs. Breed soundness is important to the longevity of the Catahoula Breed. With this in mind we work and breed some non-merle dogs. These "plain" dogs are important to every breeding program. Click on the Links page for sources of additional information. Our sire and dams are of good comformation with sweet temperments. We do not purposely breed for particular coat or eye color. (Although I will admit to having a fondness for cracked eyes.) We strive to breed for a balance of size, strength, endurance, and "cow sense". "Lord, may my grass grow tall and the hogs be plentiful, but not in my hayfield!" -- the Hog Hunting Cowman. "Lord, bless our dogs whereever they may go. to each person they contact be it Your will.Read More
