Meet the breeder
I'm Vanessa B., the breeder behind Bradford Catahoulas located in Scott City, KS. The breed was developed with working instincts as a priority, we strive to stick to that as much as possible, while still improving the health of the breed, and creating structurally sound dogs that are as close to the NALC breed standard as possible.
Q. & A. with Vanessa
Why did you start breeding?
My mom bred Pomeranians when I was little. It was more of a BYB on a small scale situation. I've always been drawn to dogs and dog breeding but preferred larger dogs. My step-father introduced me to the Catahoula breed in 1997 where I was hooked. I went to a few shows where my dog placed in Treeing and Conformation. In 2004 my life took a turn and I got out of dogs until 2018.What makes your program special?
While we don't breed often, when we do we always keep at least one female out of the litter. We do not keep males to reduce the chance of unplanned litters. This also gives us the advantage of having a wide selection of studs to choose from to ensure we choose the right stud for the right female to improve the quality of the next generation.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Litter and program updates

Litter update on 12 Mar •We adjusted the sire to our August 2026 litter. We feel Ranger compliments Spiders better then Boo. We have another female that may be better for Boo but she still has another year for her hips and elbow evaluations. Ranger is a lead hog dog in Hawaii. Hoping for talented puppies from hunting to herding. Pedigree includes Wager, Salty Dog, McGuire and Camp-a-while.

Program update on 14 Jan •This is an early 2027 litter. Heavy Wager breeding. Spiders is a Monkey, Jones/Tic tac grand-daughter. Cane is off of bandit/Tic tac. We are so excited for this cross. Sire passed a few years ago. He was used for cattle and hunting hogs. He prefers hunting. Dam, as of this posting, is in training for cattle and is showing great promise. Dames first pups were chasing and baying piglets at 12 weeks old.

Parent health testing

Bradford Catahoulas reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Catahoula Leopard Dogs.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
