Early Bulldog Men and Bloodlines Kenny Houston was the owner of a Big Game Hunting outfit outside of Marianna, Florida.  He also bred a strain of catch dogs for his business interest.  His strain was primarily down from Ol’ Southern Whites crossed with Catahoula Leopard Dogs.  He liked large athletic dogs in the 90 to 100 lbs range because of their ability to run with big game and maintain enough strength to handle themselves once the prey was bayed.  Houston’s most famous dog was Blue Muskee (sire: DUDE × dam: Silver).  Blue Muskee sired Miller’s Blue Ox, the unknown sire of Lana’s Sylvia Lane and Quinlan’s Hank and countless other Lana Lou Lane bred dogs.  Ms. Lane was always interested in that elusive blue-merle color, in which this dog threw in his progeny time and time again.  Mr. Houston got his first dogs and breeding practices from a little known cowboy and sportsman named Howard Carnathan; who in the 1960’s did a lot of early work in developing this type of dog. 

Mr. Carnathan is said to have liked the intelligence, quickness, endurance and high spirited nature of the Catahoula Leopard Dog but was not satisfied with its sometimes aloofness to people and soft bite.  Using some of his Bulldogs he infused a little Catahoula to spice things up.  This cross was said to be the perfect fit for what he was looking for saying “I needed a dog that would be a companion and protector to my children and home yet I also was in need of a dog hat would help with the farming duties.   The Catahoula Bulldog fit my purpose exactly”.  Many breeders since have made unsuccessful attempts to replicate this practices over the years.
