Meet the breeder

I'm Elyse R., the breeder behind ArkieHoulas located in Huntsville, AR. Having a dog in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! We are a simple, family-run breeding program offering loving and loyal companions to others. We focus on quality care and health with each litter we raise.

Q. & A. with Elyse

Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the breed and how adaptive they can be so we started with one litter 7 years ago and it grew from there. There aren't very many Catahoula breeders in Northwest Arkansas so the demand for a general purpose working dog was well met and we immediately had a wait list for future litters. Since they are our pets as well, we have limited litters and it's very personal to us!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
