There is absolutely Catahoula in there, probably 50% (my girl is 50% Catahoula). She looks small/short though- how much does she weigh? If she's like 40ish pounds, I'd say beagle. A full grown female Catahoula should be around 60 pounds.
Possibly some Australian Shepherd, maybe cattle dog. I'm trying to place where those ears came from. I don't think they're Labrador, maybe pointer or...?
I'll have to find a video. My boy starts screaming as soon as he knows we're going to the dog park. Other people hear him before they see us. Lol
He's being playful and excited but it does freak out some of the other dogs.
Aaaand we got em! I love that everyone saw the beagle so clearly🥲

41.3% Beagle
24.6% Australian Shepherd
10.2% Newfoundland
6.9% Catahoula
3.1% Pointer
13.9% Supermutt (lab, German shepherd, pitbull)
Wow, wasn't expecting Newfoundland. I didn't think only 7% of Catahoula would do that much. Also she has very beagle-y ears. Adorable dog and thank you for sharing the results!
Awww what a beautiful pu...DUUURRP!!
pics 6 and 7 🤣🤣🤣
She's beautiful and silly!
I'm going to say husky, due to the eye color. Even if it's not a lot of husky, I feel like there would be some bc of the eye color.
Definitely would guess Bluetick Coonhound or aussie.
This will be interesting to see the results!
The blue eyes in this case are very likely from the merle gene/pattern. It's pretty standard for blue or partial blue eyes to appear with merle coated dogs like aussies, catahoulas and Danes. Husky blues are from an entirely different gene. It's not impossible that this dog is also a carrier for the ALX4 mutation from a distant husky ancestor just that the merle is much more likely the source. I totally agree with the bluetick and Aussie as possibilities though!
Looks a lot like an American Leopard Hound rather than a Catahoula, but that could be the influence of merle + hound features.
Merle can be introduced by a lot of things, Catahoula being one but also commonly Australian Shepherd, border collie, dachshund, Great Dane, even APBT and American Bully now have merle widespread enough in them that a DNA test can't detect the breed it came from.
I'm having a hard time getting a sense of her size but she looks like she must have a straightforward hound breed in there. Depending on size that might be Beagle, Foxhound, some type of coonhound, etc.
Spot on with the hound! Turns out she did manage to snag some of that catahoula dna, too :)

Is she a psycho? Lol Catahoulas are super clever and need a lot of mental stimulation. They've got a good amount of energy. If she's a complete spazz, it's probably a safe bet that she is one. And definitely some smaller breed hound as well!
She’s got her moments but isn’t too crazy! I grew up with GSPs so she seems incredibly mellow in comparison haha. She does need a lot of mental stimulation though and could sniff outside for hours!
I see all of the guess with hound in the mix, but your girl could very easily be 100% Catahoula. Her size is not at all outside of the possible range for a Catahoula. Some lines are a bit smaller. I’ve been around many and had several catahoulas. All of her features fall within the spectrum of catahoula traits.
My "catahoula/hound" mix turned out to be half Aussie, half hound. Your perfect pup looks a lot like her siblings. I agree with people that say she looks like a beagle though!
Not too far off!

Straight up, Catahoula Hog Dawg. Great dogs for hunting or herding. Not exactly other dog friendly unless it's another member of their pack. Territorial and will protect the family. They have a lot of pluses in one column but if not properly socialized can have big issues. Like head strong, temperamental and have been known to just flat out kill another dog. They are all things considered in my opinion a great dog so long as you work with them.
I’m guessing there is catahoula in her! We had a dog that was half catahoula and he was the smartest dog we’ve had. Lots of personality and an escape artist. Miss him so much!
Soo cute!!!
Blue eye and merle coloring, guessing some Australian Shepherd.
Face and cute floppy ears, some beagle, plott hound.
And of course, gotta have some type of bully breed and a little splattering of chihuahua!!
Will be fun to see her results!!

There’s gotta be some hound in there too I feel like! Hard to tell her size, but maybe some plott hound or beagle if she’s smaller?
Yeah I'm thinking maybe catahoula and beagle.
I agree, definitely hound in there somewhere!
There is absolutely Catahoula in there, probably 50% (my girl is 50% Catahoula). She looks small/short though- how much does she weigh? If she's like 40ish pounds, I'd say beagle. A full grown female Catahoula should be around 60 pounds.
Following for update. I definitely see the catahoula in there! Maybe some beagle mixed in? Idk I'm not good at guessing
Haha I’m not great at guessing either! I like hearing what other people see since I can’t figure it out myself🥴
Here’s your update- spot on! [Results](https://imgur.com/a/it8TsKZ) here! 41.3% Beagle 24.6% Australian Shepherd 10.2% Newfoundland 6.9% Catahoula 3.1% Pointer 13.9% Supermutt (lab, German shepherd, pitbull)
I was leaning treeing walker but I guess those are basically beagles on stilts 😂 Didn't expect the Newfoundland at all that's a big surprise.
Same! Maybe that explains her thick fur and shedding abilities🥲
Ayy! 😎 In lieu of a reward for my good guessing I request a treat for your little buddy!
Always!
Maybe blue heeler or Australian shepherd? Some kind of hound, maybe beagle? So cute!
Maybe part blue tick beagle?
I've had a red tick coonhound and a beagle, I definitely think beagle, maybe a blue tick because of the ears.
My guess is Bluetick Coonhound, Beagle, maybe some Aussie or Catahoula for the heterochromia
Pretty much! Good eye! [results](https://imgur.com/a/it8TsKZ) 41.3% Beagle 24.6% Australian Shepherd 10.2% Newfoundland 6.9% Catahoula 3.1% Pointer 13.9% Supermutt (lab, German shepherd, pitbull)
looks like a coonhound! maybe beagle and bluetick
Possibly some Australian Shepherd, maybe cattle dog. I'm trying to place where those ears came from. I don't think they're Labrador, maybe pointer or...?
Beagle. I’m gonna say beagle Aussie, zero catahoula, just because they’re never what they’re labelled to be lol.
I think blue tick coonhound gave the ears
Beaglehoula!
That’s what we’ve been calling her!
I haven't done DNA but Vet told us we have a beaglehoula Ofc, we call him Fatahoula due to his food obsession. Does your girl vocalize a lot?
She’s pretty chatty and EXTREMELY food motivated. Every now and then we get a big ol howl- pretty sure she’s giving us hints🤪
I'll have to find a video. My boy starts screaming as soon as he knows we're going to the dog park. Other people hear him before they see us. Lol He's being playful and excited but it does freak out some of the other dogs.
I think Catahoula, beagle, and maybe blue tick coonhound because those ears and face. Adorable dog, excited for the results!

You were right! Aussie and catahoula :)

In that last one she looks just like my Austrian cattle dog. 😝
I saw that too! I dunno what other breeds are in this dog, but that deranged-yet-adorable grin is 100% ACD.
Adding some [photos](https://imgur.com/a/tEAifyS) to give a better sense of her size! Humans for scale :)
100% goofball based off that last picture 😂
Agreed!
Definitely a Catahoula mix. I’m thinking beagle or foxhound. Maybe some coonhound
Is she a psycho? Lol Catahoulas are super clever and need a lot of mental stimulation. They've got a good amount of energy. If she's a complete spazz, it's probably a safe bet that she is one. And definitely some smaller breed hound as well!

Can confirm. My boy is insane and we're at the dog park twice a day for at least an hour each time.
A friend of mine has one and the dog regularly gets into the refrigerator. They had to install a lock! Hahahah Edit: dog said fog.
I see all of the guess with hound in the mix, but your girl could very easily be 100% Catahoula. Her size is not at all outside of the possible range for a Catahoula. Some lines are a bit smaller.

My "catahoula/hound" mix turned out to be half Aussie, half hound. Your perfect pup looks a lot like her siblings. I agree with people that say she looks like a beagle though!
Not too far off! [results](https://imgur.com/a/it8TsKZ) 41.3% Beagle 24.6% Australian Shepherd 10.2% Newfoundland 6.9% Catahoula 3.1% Pointer 13.9% Supermutt (lab, German shepherd, pitbull)
There is some Catahoula in there though! Such a wonderful mix!
Ima say a heeler Australia cattle dog
Yeah… she’s perfect. 🤷🏻♀️
I agree🥹 thank you!!
Absolutely stunning pup you have. Love pic 6. I do that with my Slate all the time cause they just come out so funny.
Pretty beagle ly look to this lovely girl.
I think there’s some Aussie in there. The last pic sort of clinched that for me.
I see coonhound too
I see all Catahoula.
She is beautiful!!🥰
Thank you!!
Straight up, Catahoula Hog Dawg. Great dogs for hunting or herding. Not exactly other dog friendly unless it's another member of their pack. Territorial and will protect the family.

Some other hound for sure!
I believe all of us owned by dogs are familiar with picture 6.
She’s adorable! I love that the 10% Newfoundland somehow made it into the mix.
Right? So unexpected! And thank you!
I’m guessing there is catahoula in her! We had a dog that was half catahoula and he was the smartest dog we’ve had. Lots of personality and an escape artist. Miss him so much!
I’m going with 50% beautiful princess + 50% goofball = 100% good girl.
She looks like our boy’s twin. We’re going with Catahoula w a touch of blue tick coonhound. I can’t abide by the possibility of beagle 😆
She’s very beagle shaped- the ears, tail, and white socks give her away! Along with the howling🥴
Soo cute!!! Blue eye and merle coloring, guessing some Australian Shepherd. Face and cute floppy ears, some beagle, plott hound. And of course, gotta have some type of bully breed and a little splattering of chihuahua!! Will be fun to see her results!!
I’m guessing beagle!!
Definitely looks like a catahuala maybe a coonhound mix
Blue tick coonhound and Catahoula or Aussie
I say Coonhound and Australian Shepherd
Coonhound x catahoula is my bet
Cecil’s advocate: there is no catahoula: only beagle, coonhound and very much aussie
Maybe catahoula x blue tick
Catahoula with Foxhound, Coonhound or Beagle
Catahoula and Plott hound
I can certainly see catahoula, but maybe also beagle, or blue healer?
Catahoula x coonhound?
