That is a Catahoula dog
Here are many pics of them: http://images.google.com/images?um=1&tab=wi&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-18%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=catahoula
There are several varieties, as they were originally bred in Louisiana for Cattle work, boar hunting and general farm dogs. They are also known as leopard dogs, or catahoula leapard dogs, or Catahoula cattle dogs, or Catahoula Cur., or hog dogs, etc.

That is the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog is independent, protective, and territorial. Loving with their family and all people they know well and reserved with strangers (this would include strange children). They need to make up to a person, not a person make up to them. Of course there are temperaments on both sides of this, but this is for the average dog. They mature right around 2 and it is as if a light goes on and they say to themselves "I am an adult now and I need to act grown up." This breed's reservation with strangers should not be noticed in a pup, but will show as the dog matures. Although affectionate with his master, the Catahoula is not recommended for the casual pet owner who is uninterested in allowing the dog to function in his intended capacity. For the right owner, this is a protective yet dominating canine. Signs of timidly on a leash should not be taken as cowardness, but the intolerance for strangers. This breed needs a dominant owner who shows strong leadership.

The dog is a CATALOUA - prounounced cat-a-who-la. These dogs are from Louisiana originally - I believe. They are very good dogs - but like most dogs you should read up on the breed if you are interested in buying this particular breed.

Do you mean 'Catahoula'? If so, it's a breed of working dog. They are also commonly known as 'Catahoula Leopard Dogs' due to their markings. :)
Here is a link to some more information on this breed:
