Black Mouth Cur

Good to know

• All-round farm dog: developed in the American South as a working dog for hunting and guarding the homestead, they have a strong drive to work.
• Hard hunter: they hunt by sight, sound and scent and were preferred as mostly silent trailers, so they can be off after game quickly.
• Loyal and protective: they are devoted to their family and protective of home, so early socialization helps them stay steady with strangers.
• Easy coat: the short, dense coat needs little more than occasional brushing.

Getting out with a Black Mouth Cur

Bred to keep going: they need plenty of exercise every day, like long trail walks, hikes and off-leash play where it's allowed.
