The Labahoula is a mixed breed dog, a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Catahoula Leopard Dog. Known for its intelligence and energy, it has a striking appearance with a potential for unique coat patterns, often including spots or patches. The Labahoula is sturdy and athletic, suited for active lifestyles and enjoys tasks that challenge its mind and body. Its social nature and loyalty make it a wonderful family companion.

The Labahoula is not a wild animal species, but rather a hybrid dog breed. It is a cross between the Labrador Retriever and the Catahoula Leopard Dog, both of which are domestic breeds. Therefore, it does not have a native region in the wild.

As a domestic dog breed, the Labahoula is adaptable to a variety of living conditions provided by human environments. They thrive in homes where they have access to outdoor spaces for exercise and play.

The Labahoula does not occupy a natural ecological niche as it is not a wild species. Its role is primarily as a companion animal, often participating in activities that involve agility, hunting, or tracking due to the traits inherited from its parent breeds.
