Title: cur dogs
Post by: bare.hunter on August 28, 2011, 02:05:07 PM: does anyone have cur dogs.If so what kind.
I was a long time cat hunter and then we had the
law change and I sold my dogs but I would like to
have a cur dog to take on my trapline and tree a few
for the kids to see and just here the dogs again.

They're bred back to Wetherford's Ben and are pretty good tree dogs. My dog is spayed, but there are some good breeders around. Big Sky kennels in belgrade MT has some good lines.

Great in the house or in the kennel and are very smart. The bonus is you'd have a dog that would also coon hunt for you.

Post by: bare.hunter on September 03, 2011, 10:21:13 PM: there are many cur mt blackmouth leapard and many more that are less common
I have even hunted with a feist mt cur cross that was a bear dog deluxe and had
to be retired because a bear bite her leg off.But she would still tree a coon should have bought
that dog.
some people would have called plotts a cur back when the plott family was still breeding them.

Post by: Klyne3 on October 26, 2011, 09:21:44 PM: ahh I love Catahoula's. I have a 4 month old and she is an awesome dog! She's a red with ghost spots that are starting to darken. Great with the kids and neighbors rat dog. She was bought for a pet but man does she have a thing for bird right now. Quick learner too.

Is he looking for a Catahoula or a Leopard Cur?
Title: Re: cur dogs
Post by: WAcoyotehunter on October 27, 2011, 09:57:59 AM: i think he's wanting a catahoula- he wants to work cattle with it. I thought a BMC would be great for him...but I'm biased! :chuckle:
Title: Re: cur dogs
Post by: Machias on October 27, 2011, 10:31:22 AM: I thought I saw someone locally that had a couple of houla pups for sell, I'll do some checking. We all have our bias'! :chuckle:
