Just as a heads up, it's not terribly uncommon for mostly white Catahoulas to have health problems. I thinks it's common for white catahoulas to have liver problems.

I have had them for a few years. I'm down to my last two, they are 13 and 14. Be glad you have a male. The females are as mean as hell.

OP I commend you for taking on a companion that most would pass on.
Dogs are exceptional with hand signals I suspect this guy to be no different.

*I am concerned with him and traffic in any way, so a shock collar may help him understand the roadway is a no no. Also I suspect you do not let your pets wander, but this guy especially cannot wander unattended.

Well done, and bravo.

I am a Catahoula lifer. What you have is a double Merle( double recessive genes which causes the all white and double light eyes). The deafness will be the least of your health problems.
