re: Tell me about the Cur dog breed

Cur” isn’t really a breed

So its a boxer mixed with a mutt. Got it.

A cur is a hunting dog, and they will hunt. Squirrels, coons, your neighbors' cats, small yappy dogs - doesn't matter, it's all fair game. Never let it lose in your neighborhood bc of that. They are very smart and as others have mentioned, stubborn. Great dog's, but not for a weak owner.

I have what I think is a cur pit mix aka your garden variety country dog. She is a stone cold killer. Only dog I've ever known to kill a skunk. Armadillos, snapping turtles, you name it. My dogs gang up on the snapping turtles - kind of interesting - 2 will keep it focused on he front, while one goes in for the kill from behind. it's the cur who is the organizer. She's super smart.

Little Ann from Where the Red Fern Grows is a cur.
Guess what I named my cur mix??

I don't think a mix breed boxer and cur would be much use for squirrels though

Not interested in catching squirrels. I just want a dog to guard my home, easy to train, and that makes a good pet.

Little Ann from Where the Red Fern Grows is a Redbone Coonhound

Dan was the coonhound, Little Ann was a cur.

I re-read the book a few years ago with my daughter, who did cry by the way.

She likely cried because her dad lied to her about the type of dog little ann was

Please link me to that bc if you're right, my whole life was based on a lie.

ETA I see you corrected it

My son found what we call a cur, it’s part German Shepard and something that was brindled. It’s smart, loving and a damn good guard dog.
