"Mules and Catahoula dogs just naturally fit together" says Dr. Jim. "We personally prefer the Catahoula breed of dogs because they have that 'good ole boy' type of hound dog people loving personality but they are tough as nails & smart. Catahoulas are quite friendly to people at the ranch, love and protect kids, are compatible with mules, good barn dogs, devoted companions, and tough spirited in the hunt with no quit in them and they even come in 'camo' color." |

Rancho Santiago Kennel Facilities



|
Our kennels are located under the shade and protection of an 80 year old apricot orchard. The kennels are built two feet off of the ground to prevent disease and aide in sanitation.
|
| Our kennels are sloped from front to back to make it easy to wash out every day. The droppings wash out behind the kennels and are easliy taken by tractor out into the pasture to fertilize the grass. |

|
The whelping kennel house divided into two pens for whelping more than one litter at a time.
The chair is in the whelping pen & one inside the house where we can sit and play with the puppies to accustom our puppies to like and feel secure with people.
