The dog was nice, but with all his scars from lion, bear, coon, possum etc. he looked scary.
Heck Fred, start working this one with the Griff and you might have a tag team.

I use to have hounds.I had alot of different breeds, but never a cur .How are they for speed and endurance.
Very fast dogs and like good hounds they can just go and go all day.

Met two crazy guys in Plentywood pheasant hunting that had 4 upland dogs, but the fifth was a cur that resembled a lion (color, looked like he had a mane). Anyway the point is the trainer (owner) said of all the bird dogs he's had over the years the cur did as good as any flusher he'd ever owned and as far as stamina it was head and shoulders above the rest.
The dog was nice, but with all his scars from lion, bear, coon, possum etc. he looked scary.

Griffs are already predisposed to be catty, I don't really want to encourage that!! ;)

How do you like them leopard curs?
I really like them, but they are alot like a mule is in the horse world. If your a horse person you probably won't like mules, don't like the quirks and can't handle or don't want to handle the constant ribbing from all the horse people that know for sure their horse is way better than a mule ever could be. Curs are alot like that in the hound world. Most hound guys do not like curs, but honestly alot never give the dogs a chance. They develop a little slower then some good hounds, but they are super fast and very smart dogs. The guy I got this dog from loves that this dog is always out in front on a bear race but believes they cannot handle the day in and day out hard races. I have an older friend in Northern CA that trees on average 35 to 50 bears a year that will beg to differ with him. They suit me and my style of hunting...so I like them alot.
