Are Cur's known to kill small animals?

Have a Cur/Lab mix, but she looks all cur.

She is a little over 4 months old.

Asked on the outdoor board but it seems dead, so I will ask here.


I just found two dead snakes in about a 10 minute span.

One was floating in my washing machine, my assumption is that she did it, since I was washing her towels.

While I was throwing that one over a gate I found another one in pieces in the back yard.

Is this normal or is more likely the work of a cat?

Could be -- Curs are tough little SOBs.

Cur's are popular dogs here in Louisiana so I figured people would be in the know on this board.

Nothing wrong, just curious.

I had a cur and he loved to kill stuff. He really liked to kill snakes, but one day a 6 foot rattlesnake fought him to a draw. He got the snake but snake also got him.

Cats (the ones that haven't been turned into useless pieces of fur) also love to kill snakes so who knows.

You seem much less shocked by a snake in your washing machine than I imagine you should be

I had a cur-lab mix puppy. She started out docile but got more aggressive as she aged. She crushed 2 of our kittens and snapped at the wife.

Just curious. I am from MS and have never heard of a cur dog. Is it a breed? I looked up cur dog and it says it's a type of dog not a breed. It means mongrel.

Well it was raining and I was trying to finish up the laundry while also fixing my truck running board so I was just in a frick it type of mood.

It was plenty dead, so I just grabbed in and slung in my neighbor's yard since I am plenty sure that bastard lets his dog shite in my front yard.

The Catahoula Cur is an American dog breed named after Catahoula Parish, in the state of Louisiana, in the United States. After becoming the state dog of Louisiana in 1979, its name was officially changed to Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog.

We have a cur at the country house and it kills all types of shite. Mostly armadillos, coons, or opossums but snakes wouldn't be out of the question. She will also dig a tunnel to China if you let her.

It's your cur! I have a cur mix and she is a stone cold killer - snakes, armadillos, possum, coons. She will also tree anything and stay with it for hours.
If you live in the country, good for you. If you live in town, get ready to deny knowledge of neighbors' missing cats...

Is that normal for such a young age though?

Sounds like something a cat would to.

At 4 months, she's probably just playing around now. She's working through her instincts. Does she have an older dog teaching her?
