Riley’s Post:

There is a very important dog show competition going on over at Mango’s bloggy.  I am working very hard to win my group–Herding.  (Yes, us Catahoulas are in hearding group.  We are not offically recognized in the AKC…and I am a mix anyway.  But, the AKC has already given us herding group status.)

I am standing tall and most handsomest so that I might win.  Here I present to you, dear readers (and oh, so dearer judges) my most handsomest photogrpahs that show me in all my Catahoula glory.  Now remember, Catahoulas are very important and handsome dogs.  We are special and unique.  So keep that in mind when you judge my photos.  I have included a wonderfulest head shot of myself.  Also, a picuture of me hanging at the beach.  And a photo that shows my bestest gait.  In al its glory.  In some close-ups, you will also observe my “cracked eye”.  Not every dog can claim to have both blue and brown eyes.  I can.  Additionally, dear readers, you can observe my wonderful Blue Merele coloring which gives me the look of a true herding doggy.  This is how we get our long doggy name of: Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog.
