    It was a pleasure to work with Oliver and OpenGate Catahoulas. Oliver is clearly knowledgeable about, and dedicated to, the breed. I bought my female puppy, Willow, at 12-13 weeks. Oliver made the transport to UT incredibly easy, even when I had to reschedule the original delivery at the last minute. Willow was crate trained and well socialized prior to leaving OpenGate. She is a beautiful and intelligent dog. I couldn’t be happier with my dog or my experience with OpenGate Catahoulas.

    Oliver was very responsive and informative during and after the entire process. We were able to meet up half way and we received a bag with toys, blanket current food, water, and records. It was a smooth process and we felt very comfortable and informed getting our puppy, we were able to tell she came from a good home and a good responsible breeder. Highly recommend!

    Oliver from OpenGate Catahoulas was top notch! He was always quick to respond with questions or concerns. They raised an outstanding litter with a ton of beautiful pups. It was also a pleasure to meet in person and sent us on our way with a beautiful pup and all the necessities, which included a blanket, toys, food and water as well as paper work. It was a great experience working with Opengate and would recommend them to anyone!

    Oliver was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. He kept in constant contact and updated us on our Clover girls growth. We absolutely adore our very first Catahoula! Oliver was flexible and easy to work with. I fully recommend using OpenGate Catahoulas if you are in search of having this beautiful breed apart of your family.
