I need to know what kind of breed or breeds my dog Red was. Some said he was a catahoula others say

Red had a square snout. Short ears that were up but folded over. He was the color of a hound from head, back, tail, but had red freckles on his face and legs. He had a long wide tail with longer hair (not like a lab) and his coat was ALWAYS clean, very soft, and shiny at all times. I don't know if he was just a neat freak or something to do with breed. He was very gentle. He would cross his front paws when he layed down all the time. He always sat pretty. He had big brown eyes. He had an annoying bark that was like he was a chihuahua - ok not that bad but high pitched and annoying when he would chase cars or bark at other dogs (his only flaws and ultimate demise). He would care for and protect my ferrets, guinea pigs, hamster, cats, etc. He loved every thing and every one. When my sister adopted him in Livingston, MT they said he was a catahoula/heeler mix. I looked up both breeds and don't know how they got that. Anyway, if anyone knows what he is please e-mail me. I have pictures too

Same here. It would be much easier with pictures or a detailed description

You spent a lot of time detailing his behavior, but very little detailing his appearance - which is a great deal more important when trying to determine a breed. Why don't you link the pics here (or you can email me one if it's not on the net) or describe his appearance a bit more.



Height,weight, shape of head/snout, stance, coat and body proportions would all be necessary to make a guess.

The freckling that you described is very typical of Australian Cattle Dogs (Red/Blue heelers) which is probably "how they got that". As soon as you said "freckles on his face and legs" that's the first thing that came to my mind too. But I agree, it would be better to have pictures.
