Cur pups

[STUNTMAN 552]

Had my first litter today 11, 10 alive. I've only hunted them on bears and cows so I'm looking foward to seeing how they do on Mountain lion and bobcats out here.

congrats mate, do they just bay or do they catch?

[STUNTMAN 552]

Judge depends on what there chasing bears they are barking, coons if they are on the ground its catching.

Alright mate, whats in a cur? Or are they line bred? If that makes sense?

i think it's just an old old english word for a working dog with no specific breeding, ie a mongrel.

I think the yanks still use the word whereas we forgot about it years ago. it used to be an insult to call someone a cur.

Yes, i know that.

 

But in the states i think they use it to refer to fairly specific dogs, of mixed breeding, rather than any old mongrel. And i THINK that they will roughly breed true to type, whereas most proper 'mongrels' will throw a lot of litter variation.

 

Just to add to your collection a 'cur dog' is also hunting terminology for any non-hound.

WWell i don't know what you mean by my 'collection' but I think that between us, we've nailed it.... perhaps.....

Well, until the yank posts again and makes us look like a pair of mugs. :

Meant your collection of 'Cur' meanings.

 

 

 

Aye, he'll be a long at some point (or dan) to fill us in.

 

From what i know curs are a mixed hound/terrier type dog, and there are maybe different 'types' of cur, but the idea (and i think if you look at the pups it looks that way) is that they breed true to that type, cur x cur.

Guys your pretty much point on, the term "cur" comes from the English term curtailed. You got taxed on any dog with a tail from what I understand. Curs are bred two ways here imo. Seriously and what ever. Some follow papers and peds while a hog hunter might just breeds to a friends "good" dog. Lines/strains are kemmers, mountain, stephens and a few others. Alot of hound/curs cross dogs are bred then put back in the respective line like anything else then papered...You know how it goes, so its a safe bet just get one from someone who is puttin the meat up. feck the papers. Dan could give allot of insight as the bitch I got from him but he's a miserble b*****d and a downer to talk to as he seen the shit side of the cur biz.

Cheers for that mate, interesting info, i'd love to see them work. Do different 'types' of cur have different working styles or applications (i.e different quarry, land etc).

liam-Thats correct...a non game bulldog is called a cur. Bulldog men also call any non bulldog a cur, regardless of breeding. I have always believed the term was carried over to many of these type dogs. Many bulldogs, and bulldogx were/are used as "meat dogs" all over the country, and even many of todays "linebred/papered" curs show a strong bulldog influence, IMO.

 

Take care.

STUNT-Cull them yella ones, and save the ring necked one for yourself. Probably going bear hunting in the mornin (the Uphill Boys are here), if you want to go.

 

Take care.

Out of interest why cull by color? Not knocking, just curious?
