the black mouth cur's 200 years of selective breeding history

 

 

Dating back over 200 years these Yellow Black Mouth Cur dogs have been selectively bred to produce the desired traits that the cur owners of today enjoy. The first Black Mouth Curs registered, were Ladner Black Mouth Curs by the National Kennel Club in April 1964. Mr L.H. Ladner had such extensive written documentation of his family's breeding that the NKC recognized the breed. These curs are used to tree squirrel, raccoon, bobcat, mountain lion, and bear. They are used for hunting hogs and wild or undomesticated cattle. They also are distinguished by being used for search and rescue emergency services.
