I'm Kristen H., the breeder behind Gunslinger Catahoulas located in Peyton, CO. Our dogs are bred for temperament, health, and breed standards. We give our dogs the best lives possible. Our dogs are part of our family (4-legged kids). We are looking for families and individuals that will provide our puppies with the same level of attention.

It has been a pleasure working with Kristen and her husband on getting our Catahoula puppy, she took time to answer any and all of our questions. She was friendly and kind and gave us updates regularly on our puppy and included so many photos of Dezie! She is very knowledgeable about the breed and all of their needs to ensure they stay healthy and happy 😊! The puppy we purchased Kristen (Gunslinger Catahoulas) is my husband's father's day present and he is beyond himself with excitement and absolutely loves the breed. I would highly recommend Kristen and her husband at Gunslinger Catahoulas for their professionalism and dedication to the breed and would definitely not hesitate in getting another Catahoula from them in the future. Thank you so much Kristen.

Kristen was extremely thorough, responsive, and friendly during the adoption process. She answered all of my questions and was proactive in getting our puppy prepared for departure. Kristen effectively communicated with the flight nanny we arranged to pick up puppy as well. Our puppy came with confidence and love. You can tell Kristen and her company deeply care for their Catahoulas. 20/10 for Gunslinger. Thank you for our fur baby!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
